Default Motorcyclist flipped bird, popped wheelie, crashed


COPIAGUE, N.Y. (AP) - A Long Island man who flipped his finger at a police cruiser and then popped a wheelie on his motorcycle is recovering from injuries after crashing. Suffolk County Police said Frank Patti, 26, of West Islip, rode by the police car at a service station in Copiague at 7:30 p.m. Sunday. Police say Patti made an obscene gesture to two officers in the car, popped a wheelie and then sped away. Police gave chase. When the motorcycle turned into a parking lot it crashed into a police car that had joined the chase. Police said Patti was treated for minor injuries at Southside Hospital. He's charged with fleeing police, resisting arrest and several traffic violations. He was being held for arraignment Monday. Police did not know if he had an attorney.

WTF was he thinking... or more accurately, that's the problem, he wasn't. Bet he wasn't on a Harley either.

Couldn't of been on a Harley....you can't do wheelies on them, unless you don't want to! When I bought my newest one I did one out of the dealer's lot. Sure didn't mean to, haven't done one since 1982.

I'm surprised this clown didn't wind up with a few baton shaped bruises after that amazing display of mental acuity!

Cheers!
