I'm still trying to figure out what / how they were riding on the wrong side of the road ?

if the traffic is stopped at the lights and backed up enough, they'll just scoot into the oncoming lanes to get around the intersection...since that didn't pan out, the one that ran had his reasons...maybe no insurance, stolen bike, who knows, but he's gone and that's the end of that, unless of course he's lawyering up...

Hes probably looking for new fairing parts etc for his CBR/R6/Gixxr .
Anyway, there's enough cameras in the general area to get a image of these riders before the incident and afterwards if the police really wanted to. Probably need quite a bit of man power etc and they probably figure having the one guy is good enough anyway so not worth this extra effort

meh, lay the heat on the one guy they got, see what happens...as for the other guy, would "failure to remain" be the only extra charge he is facing if caught?
I would imagine Dangerous Driving and HTA 172 are on the table as well...

Who races around the city? I mean we,......well most of us have opened up the throttle on our bikes on the road at least once, but how ever when have you ever thought it was a good idea to break well over 100kph on a busy inner city street? Do these people not have that voice in your head that says "this is not the place to do this retard"? I push it a bit, nothing race track pushing it but I like to get out of the city to have that kind of fun. Ill never forget watching this idiot on his old cbr600 come in hot to the intersection of Lakeshore road and Hiawatha to try and pull a stoppie or endo or whatever name you want to call that little stunt, misjudge his stoping distance grabbed way to much brake while his tail is already in the air, and just fly's superman style into the intersection with his bike close behind him. All the while traffic going north south at the light is now in full motion. Both him and the bike are just about to hit a car and somehow he ends up just missing the moving vehicle. What does the biker do after his crash? Starts kicking the **** out of his bike and screaming "F$%k" over and over. Pulls the bike off to the side of the road and starts telling everyone who saw it happen it was the bikes fault. How do we prevent people like this from even getting the chance to screw up. If you have the mentality to pull stuff like that off on a busy street then stay the hell away from motorcycles please!

You must have a very distorted view of the world if you think anyone but a very tiny segment of the population gives you a "GOOD rep" for stunting on public streets. Most people are abhorred by such behaviour and it's the very reason that HTA 172 exists.

Only if it was for an extremely good reason - like crash avoidance (eh? 100km/h?) or running from face-eating zombies.
And the answer: no. Some people really do not have that voice. In which case, I fully defend the police in dealing with them efficiently... crowded city streets (or even ones that don't look crowded) are no place to practice your stunting / racing skills.
I have an answer: put people into a training program that INCLUDES a track circuit ride on a place like Calabogie, where they come to realize that no matter how much they like to ride fast, they're just pretending. But that won't work for all of them.
Sure made an impression on my police friend last weekend, though.

Well when your insurance goes up 20-30 % next year because of squids like this being allowed to stay on the road, maybe you'll change your mind. Or do you ride without insurance???

The how? They were simply in the wrong lane. They physically moved the bike across that yellow line and drove. The why? Idiocy.

Funny, my insurance has steadily been decreasing over the years... and Im not even 30 yet.
I would never give my buddy up, whats in it for me? Are my charges going to be dropped? Noooope.
And if your charges were being dropped, what then?
