"However, on seeing us, they were on the gas.
"After channelling the force, we decided to follow rider two as he disappeared down a dirt track.
"The BMW handled it well, thankfully when the rider hit a patch of mud, the front end tucked, and the rider gracefully piouretted from the bike onto his feet and into the night, white helmet bobbing in the headlights like a little rabbit as he disappeared into the woods.
"Bike recovered, suprisingly not stolen but not insured and registered out of force.”
