The only reason you later questioned yourself is because nothing happened, but the reason nothing happened is because of the outstanding preventative actions you took. Way to stay aware and be proactive!
I live and ride on London. A lot of the motorcycle theives have taken to riding high powered (stolen) 500cc scooters. The trouble is that these scooters are very fast and maneuverable. It's very hard to shake them off. I've seen it happen. When you flee, you still instinctively consider the safety of other road users and pedestrians. You also don't want to damage your bike. The thieves have no such considerations, they ride on pavements at break-neck speeds, I've seen them going the wrong way on dual carriageways. Best way that I've seen is to out brake them. A good motorcycle generally has far superior braking ability than a scooter, and - crucially most bike thieves won't have done any rider training so don't know how to brake properly. Ride fast and brake hard. When being pursued is a good idea to sound your horn as much as possible. You want to draw as much attention to yourself - and the thieves - as possible. Don't ride in circles, remember where you first saw them and drive in one direction _away_ from that locale. Gang members and theives feel more confident in their own turf and much less so as they depart from it - potentially into other gangs turf. They will likely break off pursuit if they enter another gangs turf. Traffic lights are where most jackings happen. Bearing in mind that many of these theives have knives - I personally would treat a red light as I would a roundabout - plan ahead, scan oncoming traffic, filter to the front, go through and slot in safely. One tip is to hit a busy road, and whilst filtering knock the wing mirrors of the cars as you go by. This will enrage the car drivers who will 'close ranks' and block the scooter/ bike following you! They think you're all idiots together and will do all possible to block you. There are some pro gangs that steal bikes to order. These people do not chase you. They are much more organised. If they want your bike they will get it when you park up. You'll be none the wiser.
@@steve00alt70 what scooter has better or as large brakes as any full sized bike dirt or street? I don’t even know of scooter that has Brembo or nissin and given there such small wheels unless you have the cheapest shit ever no scooter will ever brake as well as top manufactured street bike. The difference is 1000 of hours in r and d and thousand of dollars difference in price sometime tens of thousand.

Looks like you were riding in Sheffield and started off near or around Manor Top. Having lived in Sheffield through to my 20s, your instincts were spot on and not overreacting. Better to be safe than beat up and have your bike stolen and written off. Safe riding.
It just shows how alone someone is when they're pursued by thugs down a street regardless of whether there are people or not. It's just you and them and they generally don't care about the repercussions of their actions and will happily go to any lengths for a thrill. CCTV, police. They all add up to nothing. Nothing can protect you in the moment. Take it from me, I know
Brad,never mind the traffic laws because you are in a race for what could be your life: and as Goring quoted Churchill at the Nuremberg trials," In the struggle for life or death there is no LEGALITY ! " So you did just fine .
as a son of an officer and after showing my dad this he completely agrees on what you did here, he likes watching these types of videos because hes weird lol
Any of the times he stopped for a red light, they were well behind so it was safe enough to wait. If I was him I would still obey the red lights unless they got right up beside me and I feared for my safety I would probably ride through the red then.
Riding is spot on here tbf, as said previously, you’re considering the safety of other road users even while under the pressure of dealing with these yobs… we can only wish that these types of people are those that end up wrapped around a lamp post. Hope that looking back on it, you can appreciate that your actions probably protected yourself and your pride and joy
I would report it to the police regardless, at least that way if you were caught or reported for dangerous driving you submitted a report highlighting your intent.
Plot twist: the police ticketed you, and gave you a summons or producer, and let the little darlings who were riding a stolen bike, who were after yours, without licence, insurance and tax off with a "don't be naughty boys, you rascals" thats how this country is going.

You need to get mobile technology fitted so you could call for assistance! Having said that, well done mate for NOT panicking and riding well within your limits; bikers such as you are a privilege to share the road with. I being a car driver! 🏴
Why? The police dispatcher would have spent 10 minutes to ask stupid distracting questions before deciding if it's worth dispatching police to your location. It's not the job of the police to prevent crime. THAT'S YOUR JOB. Police are only there to pick up the pieces.
@@ph11p3540 That's a bit of an oversimplification, but I'm guessing you know that. With every police department being stretched for resources, they obviously have to assess each call to determine whether a response is needed. And if so, what the response should be. The assessment to dispatch or not won't take more then a few seconds in a case like this. All the questions after that are to inform the officers, who are already on their way at that point. That being said. In order to save every possible second, I usually make myself a person of interest. By stating "such and such is happening, and I'm gonna engage the f*ckers now!". By stating I'm probably about to hurt someone there's no question about the necessity of police intervention. And I find they usually show up rather quickly.. :-)
@@sigi9669problem with that last bit is calls are recorded, and should you need to use self defence, you’ll lose a lot of credibility with a jury with that played right beforehand. Still better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

@@evankieronsmod3494 I never use videos for which I don't have a permission. If BradRider gives me permission, it would be cool. If not, I am not going to use it.
This is Sheffield, my home town. Some good mates are bikers local to the city and as far as i understand the problem with bike theft, it's everywhere, not just London as so many of the videos depict of course. I can completely understand the motives for this biker's evasive action. I'd probably be the same, but a far less experienced rider would be far more at risk of hurting themselves in this situation. That's another knock on effect that bike thieves create.
Oh dam I know exactly where you are, you did the right thing, my mum lives on Cradock Road. There are thiefs where I am near tesco on Infirmary Road, I've chased them off twice and someone nicked two of my chains on Friday. If I catch them I'm getting one of them and keeping him on the floor till the police come get him and take him to the hospital. It's the same people, they stole two bicycles and nearly stole but damaged my last motorcycle.
In these instances you do what you need to do. If someone finds themselves in this situation, ride as quickly and safely as possible to a police station and ride right up to the entrance! They were up to no good and you did what you needed to do to drop them. One thing to consider is that a three up bike like that takes some pulling up, if they’re at the side of you, hit the anchors and spin around and go the other way. Do a quick U Turn, no way could they turn around like a solo rider, you’d be out of sight in a breath ... IOM TT next mate 😁 I reckon you’d be pretty quick around the island 😉
Well done fella you must of been scared i cant imagine what was going through your head just glad you are ok and theu didnt get your bike or hurt you. Stay safe fella 👍
An Americans take on everything shoot it first and ask questions later. The motorcyclist way was the best way no one was hurt and he got out of there . I realise in America that human life has very little value .
I get that fact your adrenaline took over and you feared for your safety, but riding at 70mph in a 30 zone was reckless for the safety of others. But at least you did acknowledge this in your video.

this happened to me recently on way to work late at night its super scary and there is zero consequences for them its all a a game even if they don't plan to steal it then off you (though there have been a increase of hijacking regardless of time of day and while people are around) they want to have fun and fun to them is scaring you making you potentially fall of or crash , due to there having no consequences they are getting more bold across the uk
If I saw teens with their faces covered following me on whatever it was I really would think they would have a weapon with them so you didn’t overreact or anything at 1 time I was scared for you watching this I’m so sorry you had to experience this.
Ive just got back into biking after 20 years and can't believe this shit happens. Well might be dangerous what you had to do but nicely done. If I knew potential thieves were chasing me I wouldn't hesitate to do the same type of riding.
I'd probably have (carefully) gone through the red lights. I mean, if a police officer sees you, stops you and asks you why you did it, you can say, erm, I was trying to get away from the balaclava clad kids who are three up and have been chasing me for 10 minutes! 😂
Love the fact you stopped at the red light but subsequently rode around a mini round-about on the wrong side. If I felt that in danger I would probably ride through the red light (cautiously) and can some distance between you and pursuers. Easy to say in hindsight I suppose, well done for successfully & safely evading them 👏
You did what you needed to do to keep your distance and stay safe - well done. I had a similar situation a few years ago with a brand new company car I was chased for nearly 30 minutes before the police caught up and stopped them. I had to resort to driving the wrong way around a three lane roundabout at one point to put some distance between us - after a knife was produced at my window at a set of lights. Police said it was acceptable if you think your life may be in danger
Then you met a rare friendly copper. In the late 80s I worked as what is now referred to as a close protection officer. I was on the M6 very early one morning, about 4.30am, and realised that we were being followed. The first thing I did was confirm that this was indeed what was happening, speed up a little, slow down to about 60 mph, change lanes. I was driving a Granada Scorpio which, in its day, was a fast car, so I took off and because it was so early in the morning other than hgvs the road was pretty quiet so I was able to get up to a high speed to try and put some distance between us but the car following, a Sierra, stayed with me so I went faster and still the following car stayed with me. This went on for quite some time and I made the decision to stay on the motorway thinking that if I left it would soon hit an obstacle, lights or roadworks etc. After what was probably 30 miles the Sierra got right on my rear and as I was just about to stand on my brakes and had warned my passenger what I was about to do a blue light came on in the grill and the passenger gestured for me to move to the hard shoulder and stop. I was dragged out of the car threatened and verbally abused. 6 months later I appeared at Droitwich magistrates court and pleaded not guilty, my defence being that I was doing my job and believing that my client was in danger took a course of action that I deemed necessary at the time. I also pointed out that the police had every opportunity to identify themselves but instead chose to chase me for the best part of 20 minutes before doing so putting the lives of my client, myself and every other person on the road in danger. It cut no ice and I was told that regardless of the circumstances there is never any reason for driving in such a dangerous manner. I was banned for a year and fined £400 which was a lot of money back then. My client appeared as a witness and paid for a barrister who appealed, which took nearly a year, and the fine was reduced to £250 and the ban reduced to 6 points but I had already served most of the ban anyway and not being allowed to drive had a huge impact on my livelihood, fortunately I worked for a very good company who 100 percent agreed with my actions and found me work which didn't involve driving but that whole experience really reinforced my already jaded view of the police.
I'd have called my nan, she would have come out with the handbag and slapped those boys. "Don't chase my grandson! - Get your butt home now. I'm calling your mother." - "You don't know my mother. You old hag!" - "*Grabbed by the earlobe and dragged home to his mother*"
As soon as I saw this video thumbnail I knew you were on Arbourthorne. You did the right thing turning right around and putting your foot down to get down East Bank Road and gun it to Queen's Road Roundabout as soon as you could. You would have lost them way before you got to The Earl Marshal. I see these little scabs every day trying this on, just glad you got out of there okay dude.
I wouldn't have given up either man! Now lying on my couch I'd say I would've tried to find a police station but man, you didn't do good, but I would've done the same
No I didn't think you over reacted, you'd have no idea if those idiots had knives on them. Thought you handled your bike and the situation spot on. Glad you got away safe.
I feel bad for UK bikers. It must feel frustrating not being able to enjoy those amazing machines without having to worry about those assholes trying to cause harm..
The red light at 02:22, given the circumstance of the traffic at the time, the junction layout and making sure it was safe I'd have gone through that and taken the left rather than stopping.
You rode with as much care and safety as you could to evade a potentially dangerous situation. Sure it was risky, the fact you maintained such good control and kept checking traffic shows you were not reckless or stupid though. As someone else said, would have done the same any day of the week
While the Police would disagree I think you did the right thing by getting out of the situation, it is unlikely that they where simply out for a joy ride and the balaclavas kinda give it away, I have seen a few of this types of things and sometimes they are a smash and grab but often if the target is on a more powerful bike they know that people are aware of bike thieves and as soon as they see 2 or 3 on a bike defenses go up so they will try to lower the guard of that person by engaging in friendly chat as they know if they try to rush that person at a stop the target could be gone before they are fully off the bike, so it was good you did not talk to them as them asking that question was them trying to gain your trust and bring down your defenses.
I truly think acid attacks are some of the worst and most vile imaginable. Any way of attacking an innocent person is so cowardly and deplorable but chucking something into their face which will leave them scarred and possible blinded for the rest of their life just so you can make a few quid on some dodgy stolen bike parts deserves some serious head kicking. And yet here in the UK, if we dished out a head kicking to these scumbags we'd get locked up for aggravated assault and GBH.
It's all very easy to say 'I'd shoot them blah-blah' but if you're in a place where guns are commonplace they will most definitely have one too. Potential stalemate.
3 idiots on a bike in Arbourthorne and that general area of the city acting like that? Yeah, I'd be getting my arse out of there too. You say dangerous driving. I call it using effective evasive manoeuvres
It wasn't a 50cc. The Duke is 125cc minimum. But they were 3-up with no helmets so likely they wouldn't have wanted to be so obvious where there are cameras monitoring the road.
I’ve always been obsessed with these but my parents always said it’s dangerous and frankly I don’t live life on the wild side. Shit I don’t even have a license
my advice in these situations is do the loop trick which is go fast but go round a figure of 8 pattern through housing estates, keep watching for them, if you no longer see them, next turn that isnt a cul-de-sac take it, theyll think theyre being smart setting up a possible trap, when really theyre just there hiding lil bell ends waiting for someone who wont turn up, ive also used a roundabout before now too, one of the big ones you get for motorways, just loop round it theyll try keeping up on a bike thats overloaded and theyll either slow down or low side it and slide, if they slow down, make sure you keep going round, moment you lose sight or they lose sight, take the turn off and then next turn as soon as possible, to them youll have just vanished. my best experience was getting chased by two stolen sports bikes, i know how to ride fast over ruts and bumps on old roads, it was the single most satisfying thing taking a corner at 80mph, foot peg making sparks and i look in mirror to see the idiots go straight across both lanes and into some trees, turned back after to see if they were ok, at which point id met with some friends, I'm not a evil person, they came out covered in their own blood from cuts and one was crying in the trees about a broken leg. they got out safe... one of the lads who i was meeting was a medic, the other 6, off duty officers.
Nice one. The trouble is, they will always be on a stolen bike/scooter so couldn't care less if they damage it. The rest of us who work and buy our bikes are always at a disadvantage, you did the right thing.
If you look at 0:43 i only see 3 little kids on a lil bike. The one in the middle give you a thumbs up. Maybe i miss something but for me it seems they are just dump kids. Nothing more. And i think they just want race lil bit with ya and thats the reason they followed you.
If you know how bad the crime rate is for bike theft you’d do the exact same thing as the guy in this video. The fact that all three of them were wearing balaclavas make it even worse.
@@xunter yeah in the uk motorcycle theft is very high and way too common, so i mean yeah they probably did just wanna race but because theres 3 of them with balaclavas the risk isnt worth it as the chances of your bike being stolen here are very high
they even said 'whats that one? that ones bad boy', they were appreciating his bike. Probably 3 little kids riding on a mate"s bike since he just go his license. I really think they were just too young to get a nice bike and gear and having fun on that little duke 125
The fact 3 of them are on 1 bike, combined with the fact you are in an area that hasn't got the best reputation, you did the right thing
Also the balaclavas
3 up on a bike with an engine size not a single one of them could POSSIBLY be licenced to ride... yeah that's not Sunday jaunt to the seaside, they're out to jack bikes.

Any of the times he stopped for a red light, they were well behind so it was safe enough to wait. If I was him I would still obey the red lights unless they got right up beside me and I feared for my safety I would probably ride through the red then.
Riding is spot on here tbf, as said previously, you’re considering the safety of other road users even while under the pressure of dealing with these yobs… we can only wish that these types of people are those that end up wrapped around a lamp post.

No over reaction. Hope you called the police. The lads are often tooled up.

They should be cut open and their entrails splayed across the road
I would report it to the police regardless, at least that way if you were caught or reported for dangerous driving you submitted a report highlighting your intent.
Plot twist: the police ticketed you, and gave you a summons or producer, and let the little darlings who were riding a stolen bike, who were after yours, without licence, insurance and tax off with a "don't be naughty boys, you rascals" thats how this country is going.

You need to get mobile technology fitted so you could call for assistance! Having said that, well done mate for NOT panicking and riding well within your limits; bikers such as you are a privilege to share the road with. I being a car driver! 🏴
Why? The police dispatcher would have spent 10 minutes to ask stupid distracting questions before deciding if it's worth dispatching police to your location. It's not the job of the police to prevent crime. THAT'S YOUR JOB. Police are only there to pick up the pieces.
@@ph11p3540 That's a bit of an oversimplification, but I'm guessing you know that.
With every police department being stretched for resources, they obviously have to assess each call to determine whether a response is needed. And if so, what the response should be.
The assessment to dispatch or not won't take more then a few seconds in a case like this.
All the questions after that are to inform the officers, who are already on their way at that point.
That being said. In order to save every possible second, I usually make myself a person of interest.
By stating "such and such is happening, and I'm gonna engage the f*ckers now!".
By stating I'm probably about to hurt someone there's no question about the necessity of police intervention. And I find they usually show up rather quickly.. :-)

This is Sheffield, my home town. Some good mates are bikers local to the city and as far as i understand the problem with bike theft, it's everywhere, not just London as so many of the videos depict of course. I can completely understand the motives for this biker's evasive action. I'd probably be the same, but a far less experienced rider would be far more at risk of hurting themselves in this situation. That's another knock on effect that bike thieves create.
Oh dam I know exactly where you are, you did the right thing, my mum lives on Cradock Road. There are thiefs where I am near tesco on Infirmary Road, I've chased them off twice and someone nicked two of my chains on Friday. If I catch them I'm getting one of them and keeping him on the floor till the police come get him and take him to the hospital. It's the same people, they stole two bicycles and nearly stole but damaged my last motorcycle.
You did exactly what any of us bikers would have done mate. Fair play pal
Plot twist. These were actually balaclava salesman catering for the motorcycle industry.
Happened to me a few years ago..I headed for the nearest police station..they gave up when I got there.
In these instances you do what you need to do. If someone finds themselves in this situation, ride as quickly and safely as possible to a police station and ride right up to the entrance! They were up to no good and you did what you needed to do to drop them. One thing to consider is that a three up bike like that takes some pulling up, if they’re at the side of you, hit the anchors and spin around and go the other way. Do a quick U Turn, no way could they turn around like a solo rider, you’d be out of sight in a breath ...
IOM TT next mate 😁 I reckon you’d be pretty quick around the island 😉
Often there is not one for miles and miles as they all close for lack of funding.
Well done fella you must of been scared i cant imagine what was going through your head just glad you are ok and theu didnt get your bike or hurt you. Stay safe fella 👍
Dude you handled it very well. You didn’t endanger anyone and safely sped from the thieves while keeping vigilant and alert.
Please don't apologise... as you stated. BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY
They wont learn till yall start putting some holes in them 🤷🏾♂️

Guns are for the most part illegal or difficult to own in the UK so I can't imagine keeping a piece on you would be all too different

@Jelly Bean give me an example or the thugs people praise.
I get that fact your adrenaline took over and you feared for your safety, but riding at 70mph in a 30 zone was reckless for the safety of others. But at least you did acknowledge this in your video.
Plot twist: it was the rozzers catching him for going 50mph over the speed limit past a primary school.
if anyone try to touch my bike, I promise the thieves die by my hand at the scene.
get some spray for protection, try spray used for dog attacks its legal in uk and will still do the job against knife, spray them, blind them, disarm them, then crush there little skulls, job done everyone happy apart from police who will give you 20 years for defending yourself lol.

I’m sure
this happened to me recently on way to work late at night its super scary and there is zero consequences for them its all a a game even if they don't plan to steal it then off you (though there have been a increase of hijacking regardless of time of day and while people are around) they want to have fun and fun to them is scaring you making you potentially fall of or crash , due to there having no consequences they are getting more bold across the uk
Followed by pre pubecent teens on their dads mates stolen bike
You did the right thing and I'm pleased you got away. It's not worth taking the risk and if you suspect anything suspicious, get away.
Definitely the right decision in gleadless Sheffield
If I saw teens with their faces covered following me on whatever it was I really would think they would have a weapon with them so you didn’t overreact or anything at 1 time I was scared for you watching this I’m so sorry you had to experience this.
Be careful m8 they are persistent fookers...... followed me all way from manor to killamarsh once .... don’t whatever you do let them follow you home
Ive just got back into biking after 20 years and can't believe this shit happens. Well might be dangerous what you had to do but nicely done. If I knew potential thieves were chasing me I wouldn't hesitate to do the same type of riding.
Personally I would’ve headbutted all three of them in one go
@HeedArmy83 but u would just kick fuck out of em there about 12 and they dont even have helmets on🤣
And a 12 oclock elbow maybe arm bar one too break his arms so he can no longer ride with his bum buddys.
Pull that shit in australia you end up buried with the bike. Riding around with ballys on
I'd probably have (carefully) gone through the red lights. I mean, if a police officer sees you, stops you and asks you why you did it, you can say, erm, I was trying to get away from the balaclava clad kids who are three up and have been chasing me for 10 minutes! 😂
Love the fact you stopped at the red light but subsequently rode around a mini round-about on the wrong side. If I felt that in danger I would probably ride through the red light (cautiously) and can some distance between you and pursuers. Easy to say in hindsight I suppose, well done for successfully & safely evading them 👏
You could have got the chain out and 'Road Rashed' them!!
i was just about to make a "road rash" comment. would have been beautiful in this situation.
Chain???
xD
Be nice to see them go flying like they used to on Road Rash aswell lol.
@the mountain man they'd definitely wished they wore lids
All that speed running just to stand still at a red light 😂😂😂😂
Bro this is some of the fastest 125cc acceleration I have seen wtf
Everyones talking about the chase. In my mind: Need to tighten those mirrors, shouldn't be moving at 30-40mph
Hahahaha! This must be the fastest speed he ever reached on his bike
Probably the vibes from the single cylinder engine
You did what you needed to do to keep your distance and stay safe - well done. I had a similar situation a few years ago with a brand new company car I was chased for nearly 30 minutes before the police caught up and stopped them. I had to resort to driving the wrong way around a three lane roundabout at one point to put some distance between us - after a knife was produced at my window at a set of lights. Police said it was acceptable if you think your life may be in danger
Where was this
Then you met a rare friendly copper. In the late 80s I worked as what is now referred to as a close protection officer. I was on the M6 very early one morning, about 4.30am, and realised that we were being followed. The first thing I did was confirm that this was indeed what was happening, speed up a little, slow down to about 60 mph, change lanes. I was driving a Granada Scorpio which, in its day, was a fast car, so I took off and because it was so early in the morning other than hgvs the road was pretty quiet so I was able to get up to a high speed to try and put some distance between us but the car following, a Sierra, stayed with me so I went faster and still the following car stayed with me. This went on for quite some time and I made the decision to stay on the motorway thinking that if I left it would soon hit an obstacle, lights or roadworks etc. After what was probably 30 miles the Sierra got right on my rear and as I was just about to stand on my brakes and had warned my passenger what I was about to do a blue light came on in the grill and the passenger gestured for me to move to the hard shoulder and stop. I was dragged out of the car threatened and verbally abused. 6 months later I appeared at Droitwich magistrates court and pleaded not guilty, my defence being that I was doing my job and believing that my client was in danger took a course of action that I deemed necessary at the time. I also pointed out that the police had every opportunity to identify themselves but instead chose to chase me for the best part of 20 minutes before doing so putting the lives of my client, myself and every other person on the road in danger. It cut no ice and I was told that regardless of the circumstances there is never any reason for driving in such a dangerous manner. I was banned for a year and fined £400 which was a lot of money back then. My client appeared as a witness and paid for a barrister who appealed, which took nearly a year, and the fine was reduced to £250 and the ban reduced to 6 points but I had already served most of the ban anyway and not being allowed to drive had a huge impact on my livelihood, fortunately I worked for a very good company who 100 percent agreed with my actions and found me work which didn't involve driving but that whole experience really reinforced my already jaded view of the police.
I'd have called my nan, she would have come out with the handbag and slapped those boys. "Don't chase my grandson! - Get your butt home now. I'm calling your mother." - "You don't know my mother. You old hag!" - "*Grabbed by the earlobe and dragged home to his mother*"
As soon as I saw this video thumbnail I knew you were on Arbourthorne.
You did the right thing turning right around and putting your foot down to get down East Bank Road and gun it to Queen's Road Roundabout as soon as you could. You would have lost them way before you got to The Earl Marshal.
I see these little scabs every day trying this on, just glad you got out of there okay dude.
I'm glad your safe and was able to get away, no need to apologise for your riding as you had your own safety to think about ☺️
I wouldn't have given up either man! Now lying on my couch I'd say I would've tried to find a police station but man, you didn't do good, but I would've done the same

How to do that exactly?🤔

You would have to be on the right of the motorcycle
And if it’s a scooter and you’re on the other side it’ll be the rear brake :)
Alternatively, press their kill switch & giggle like a girl while you ride away.

You have nothing to apologise for you rode as safely as you could under the circumstances. Kudos to you I hope you're still safe.

You rode with as much care and safety as you could to evade a potentially dangerous situation. Sure it was risky, the fact you maintained such good control and kept checking traffic shows you were not reckless or stupid though. As someone else said, would have done the same any day of the week

@@macauley4655 They have first buses.
@@Mansare94 yeah I spoke to my pals, they do indeed👊
While the Police would disagree I think you did the right thing by getting out of the situation, it is unlikely that they where simply out for a joy ride and the balaclavas kinda give it away, I have seen a few of this types of things and sometimes they are a smash and grab but often if the target is on a more powerful bike they know that people are aware of bike thieves and as soon as they see 2 or 3 on a bike defenses go up so they will try to lower the guard of that person by engaging in friendly chat as they know if they try to rush that person at a stop the target could be gone before they are fully off the bike, so it was good you did not talk to them as them asking that question was them trying to gain your trust and bring down your defenses.
Good drills keeping the visor down, these mutants like throwing acid
I truly think acid attacks are some of the worst and most vile imaginable. Any way of attacking an innocent person is so cowardly and deplorable but chucking something into their face which will leave them scarred and possible blinded for the rest of their life just so you can make a few quid on some dodgy stolen bike parts deserves some serious head kicking. And yet here in the UK, if we dished out a head kicking to these scumbags we'd get locked up for aggravated assault and GBH.

You say dangerous driving. I call it using effective evasive manoeuvres
Took me a while to clock that this was Sheffield. Blast up the parkway and down the M1, see if they follow you down there on a 50cc with three on it.
It wasn't a 50cc. The Duke is 125cc minimum. But they were 3-up with no helmets so likely they wouldn't have wanted to be so obvious where there are cameras monitoring the road.
Well that was rubbish. All I saw was a motorbike that seemed to be speeding. Being followed by motor bike thieves, my ass.
Maybe your brake light wasn’t working and the 3 nice gentlemen wanted to borrow your bike to fix it for you 😂
I’ve always been obsessed with these but my parents always said it’s dangerous and frankly I don’t live life on the wild side. Shit I don’t even have a license
my advice in these situations is do the loop trick which is go fast but go round a figure of 8 pattern through housing estates, keep watching for them, if you no longer see them, next turn that isnt a cul-de-sac take it, theyll think theyre being smart setting up a possible trap, when really theyre just there hiding lil bell ends waiting for someone who wont turn up, ive also used a roundabout before now too, one of the big ones you get for motorways, just loop round it theyll try keeping up on a bike thats overloaded and theyll either slow down or low side it and slide, if they slow down, make sure you keep going round, moment you lose sight or they lose sight, take the turn off and then next turn as soon as possible, to them youll have just vanished. my best experience was getting chased by two stolen sports bikes, i know how to ride fast over ruts and bumps on old roads, it was the single most satisfying thing taking a corner at 80mph, foot peg making sparks and i look in mirror to see the idiots go straight across both lanes and into some trees, turned back after to see if they were ok, at which point id met with some friends, I'm not a evil person, they came out covered in their own blood from cuts and one was crying in the trees about a broken leg. they got out safe... one of the lads who i was meeting was a medic, the other 6, off duty officers.

This is in Sheffield. Recognise the centre roads
Nice one. The trouble is, they will always be on a stolen bike/scooter so couldn't care less if they damage it. The rest of us who work and buy our bikes are always at a disadvantage, you did the right thing.
If you look at 0:43 i only see 3 little kids on a lil bike. The one in the middle give you a thumbs up. Maybe i miss something but for me it seems they are just dump kids. Nothing more. And i think they just want race lil bit with ya and thats the reason they followed you.
