An insane motorcycle chase

 

Funker530 has published the video of an absolutely insane motorcycle chase through the narrow streets of a Brazilian city - which one isn't clear.

The abilities of both the fleeing motorcyclist and his passenger, and the pursuing police officer, are really amazing.  I'm astonished that the motorcycle carrying two people - not a particularly powerful model, to judge from the video - can keep ahead for so long, despite its double burden.  The passenger is also clearly skilled in using body weight to assist the driver in keeping the vehicle under control, even when careering over speed bumps at full throttle.

I don't know how to embed the video here, but click over to Funker530 and watch it there.  It's worth your time if you're a racing or motorcycle enthusiast.  White-knuckle stuff!
