Air Force Times: Watch this Tinker airman with a need for speed get busted after 183-mph motorcycle chase
An airman from Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma is facing legal trouble after taking police on a high-speed motorcycle chase that authorities say reached up to 183 miles per hour.
Senior Airman Michael Alexander Workman, 24, of the 965th Airborne Air Control Squadron at Tinker, was arrested April 25 after taking his motorcycle for a spin, according to a report from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. He was accompanied by two other motorcyclists.
According to the report:
Trooper Walter Jack was sitting in his patrol car on the side of I-35, in Love County, Oklahoma, a little after 4:30 p.m. when Workman and his friends passed on their sport bikes, going 80 miles per hour in a 70 zone. Jack hit his lights and siren and began pursuing the trio. He caught up to them and ordered them to pull over.

He chose ...poorly.
I am not sure he chose. What if he is like 80% to 95% of other Americans, who speed? Except being a little young he does not do the 5 or 10 miles mph over he does 20 or a little more. He is young & fit and, so risks more when speeding. He gets caught and panics, fight or flight.
I am thinking along the lines of a "difference-engine" in the movie "I Robot". The plusses and minuses on how that difference engine work have difference out comes with in this case different age groups. He did not wake up that day and think that he was going to take the cops on a 183 chase. He got there in 3 steps, 2 easy and 1 hard.
First step is everyone speeds.
Second step is he sped way more than people typically do.
Third step is panic.
1st & 3rd steps are easy steps.
2nd step is the most damning. If you break it down by age group and motorcycle ownership, it is probably 4 time higher than for the general population.
They talk about drugs, alcohol, and money management to people in squadrons. What about speeding. It make make that difference engine concept work more in the air forces favor.
I don't know how frequent racing and other such behaviour is. I've noticed that I have not heard in racing on the road a quarter mile from my domicile in about 2 years. Always between about 10 and midnight.
There is legal racing among hobbyists. But they form an association, Approach a communist college, file the legal paper work and race say in a parking lot over the weekend when there are no classes.

I was young once and took my r6 for a short ride on a deserted rd. Went 270 kph. What a rush.
On a properly deserted road I don't mind. I'm sure it was nice :D
But the above video shows him on a road with traffic. Fck that guy.
