Correct.

OK, so park in the MIDDLE of a straight (as long as it is sufficiently long).

We dont know the SPeed of the Bike, But It doesnt really sound like he's going Balls Out. And having a SLip on makes it seem like you Going faster than you really are just based on the sound and RPM's...Hell My stock pipe If i keep it in first or second at a high RPM but keep it at the same speed It sounds like Im flying when in reality I'm not.

Did the cop cause it? No...If you see a cop sitting on the highway and you crash did he cause it? No, Your dumbass did for fixating on your target.

Im sure the cop was cool with the rider...Sucks about the Bike though.

Sounded like he had dropped a fair amount of speed entering the corner, and he didn't slide very far before standing back up... unless it's got a crazy low speed limit i doubt he was over.

And yeah, even if i were doing the speed limit, i probably would have done the same thing if i came into a corner and saw a damn police car sitting right there. It's just a reflex.

It's a bad situation... seems silly to say that the cop caused the accident, but i can't really say that i think the biker would have gone down if the cop hadn't been there...

I could have sworn there's a law that gives the right for an officer to write you a ticket for leaning too far, as it is "unsafe" to do.

Then cops need to learn how to ride. it's not unsafe to lean in a corner (properly), but we all know that. or, at least, we should
