Well, I usually defend the riders in these situations as you all know. However, this guy is a bike thief and deserved what he got.
But, to answer your post topic question..........because they can! You only ever hear about the ones who didn't get away, not the ones that managed to get away

You have got to be off shift or your system down there needs some serious upgrades if you are relying on Google for your info.

Idiots like this make us all cop it. Higher CTP, more targeting of riders by police, poor public image. No-one will remember that he was unlicenced and riding a stolen bike, it will be recorded as just another motorcycle crash where the rider was at fault and speed was a factor! Good one you fucking moron

And amazingly when "shit turns to trumps" the coppers have called the chase off about a minute before

It's not that amazing really Billy. The coppers call it off, but the tool keeps riding/driving like a moron. At the same time they are now constantly checking their mirrors to see if the coppers are still behind them (just with their lights and sirens off). Suddenly there is a decreased amount of attention on where they are going and BAMMO!!

The "called off the chase 2 minutes before" has become a bit of a cliche; it's a standard response after every crash ensuing from a pursuit. It's a bit like the reflex press release that any single-vehicle accident is due to excessive speed. I question the "lucky to escape with their lives" comment, though. Last time I checked, on most occasions that a motorcycle hits a car the motorcyclist comes off 2nd best (and yes, I've seen the photos of the Honda that hit a vehicle at 200+ in Europe).
He's still a dick, for stealing the bike and riding like a fuckwit.
