Last time PG County Police chased bikers on 495, 2 innocent motorists were killed since then it seems they have relaxed their response and chase policy when it comes to motorcycles. This was on a Sunday a few weeks ago when it was unusually warm if I remember right.

Sometimes it's better to just let things run their course...

And, when you are on vehicles as small as those bikes and ATVs, you can quickly zip off almost anywhere if the cops DO show up.
That--and you have these people who decide to take a video, rather than calling 911. After having seen the video of the bikers on the West Side Highway in NYC a few years ago, calling 911 is the first thing I'd do--not take a video and tailgate the bikers...
