A Long Island man who flipped his finger at a police cruiser and then popped a wheelie on his motorcycle is recovering from injuries after crashing.

Suffolk County Police said Frank Patti, 26, of West Islip, rode by the police car at a service station in Copiague at 7:30 p.m. Sunday. Police say Patti made an obscene gesture to two officers in the car, popped a wheelie and then sped away.

Police gave chase.

When the motorcycle turned into a parking lot it crashed into a police car that had joined the chase.

Full story
 
HAHA and the laaities with their 125's are so windgat.

Long time ago when I was young we went to this club/bar.
In the parking lot was this laaitie that did a wheelie, but didn't land in time.
When his front wheel came down, he was about half a meter from the sidewalk.
It was so funny.
He did a sort of a slow motion jump over the handle bars, landed on his feet, but his bike crashed behind him.
What a chop.
 
Makes me think of about 2weeks ago, coming from Tygervalley shopping centre at about 9pm 2 laaities on a poegie tried to pop a wheelie when light turned green, damn did they fell their arses off. Had a nice laugh. A guy in a bakkie behind then climbed out and klapped the laaitie driving the poegie, was lank funny.
 
windgat laaities and 125cc's are fun to watch - as long as they make their own name toffee and doesn't damage other people's cars or drive into other people... :D
 
It's classic how they duck down behind the handle bars to go faster. (90km/h)
 
firstly the biker is a douche. Secondly the cops are douches, flipping the bird is not against the law, neither is shouting "fk you" at a cop, yet they always let it get to them, what happened to anger management classes? I can assume they were planning power trips and probably assaulting him with a group of armed to the teeth officers. I will be very surprised if he can't sue the dept for injuries and intimidation. He did nothing wrong and they gave chase for no reason. Infact they wasted the depts resources on personal vendettas.
 
Ha ha,
reminds me of when we were lighties on our mini RZ's.

Off to a party in Hout Bay. The party was in a hall elevated across the road from a garage. We were pretty tanked before we got there and that's when it went south. WE pulled in the petrol station to get some juice. There were a number of people outside the party hall that could see us.

As we are pulling out of the garage disaster one strikes. One of us hits the front brakes and hits some oil. Nice little face slide into the road. Crowd chears.

The rest of us on our bikes are tuning him, idiot, can't ride he he.

So we pull out, first out wheelies, woohoo, crowd likes it, second out wheelies, crowds appreciates this.

Now, at this point I should have just pulled out and left it there, but nooooo. I sense the crowd needs more. I pull out and attempt my wheelie. No I almost flip so I'm just trying to get control, not really focussing in front of me. Hence I do not see wheelier number 2 faffing with the reserve tap switch standing still in the middle of the road.

Hmm, suppose one should always focus in the direction you are going. At this point I am weaving all over the place on one wheel, not really in control at all. Yep, managed to put my sump into the back of the now stationery wheelier number two.

Crowd erupts whilst the two of us untangle our bikes whilst blaming each other for this rather entertaining collision.

Now we were of the train of thought in those days that remove all unnecessary extra bits on the bikes to make the lighter and faster bru. This always included the kick start. I mean push starting a 50 is not really an issue.

So there I go in my somewhat inebriated state trying to push start the poor little RZ, up and down and up and down.

****, I am almost in tears, Fook, I broke my bloody gearbox I tell you, tis not cricket (well not that polite).

Crowd is at this point in hysterics, I mean, who could have planned a comedy of errors like this.

At last my dear friend points something out to me, "your chains off you idiot"

Well needless to say we were the anti heroes that night, still think back to that event with a giggle at how youth is ignorance/bliss.:)
 
Great story, Kokop. Takes me back...

It's not against the law, but reckless driving is, and the cops in the US tend to be pretty strict. So the chap got what he deserved, IMO.

The cops let him control their actions. Could very easily have been a diversion. I dont really think it was worth it, but yeah, the cops in the US got a little more time on their hands and less "fun" stuff to deal with so I guess they gotta take advantage when a douche comes out of the wood work.

I have a video on my pc of a guy running up to a cop and flipping the bird and screaming fk you in the cops face for fun, then starts to run away, the cop then pulls out his batton and starts beating the sht outa the guy. They have it on camera obviously, as that was the point of the entire thing. I wonder how that would go down legally in the US? They planned to be arses from the beginning, and they were discussing that "what if" he snaps and takes out his batton. Then the guy with the cam is like "He can't touch you man, go do it!"

"The cops let him control their actions"?

If someone flips the bird and then pulls a wheelie on their bike, I would suspect they were not acting with the best of intentions. If someone runs up to me, flips the bird and shouts "Fck You!", I would similarly not think they were "just having fun".

In the same vein that the cops could find something better to do, what exactly is the point of being rude and shouting obscenities?
