Its a pretty fluffy piece. But to be fair, it seems to me to be a pretty obvious transcript of a televised story than a printed one. Can't expect a talking head on TV to start reeling off statistical analysis and meaningful comparasions in the 10 seconds or so this story probably got on the air.
And I don't really have a problem with what the highway patrol is saying here. I know too many squids that brag about how many times they just ran from the cops to avoid the ticket for the exessive speed/recklesss riding they were doing anyway. Its almost Duke of Hazzard easy to get away on a sportsbike as long as you got someplace to go (like a garage) fast enough before they get air cover on you.
