I think onesies are standard issue, aren't they? I don't know a whole lot about such things.

I think the situation could have been avoided had HD actually used real shocks in the rear of those bikes. When manufactures cut corners, bad things happen. Then again I wouldn't take any bike of that weight over a bump like that at the speed he was going.

That's the reason why when I see a bike cop, I ask em why they don't wear real riding jackets. Finally got one semi-honest one who admitted 2 things:

1. When he rode his personal he armored up
2. They never expect to ride fast enough to need it. Pursuit is for cruisers

I've always hated speed bumps. I wonder if this officer now shares my distaste for them?

2 jokes:
1. Please note: HD's are not, I repeat, NOT made for jumps. Please stick to using dirt bikes.

2. This cop obviously can't jump, therefore he must rely on swimming to get in the USA.


OP edit : They are Mexican cops. (I googled the incident)

I saw a lot of things breaking in that video.. and I'm sure the bike's in pretty bad condition as well.
