A Ninja with no gas tank catches a Chicago cop's eye at the Puerto Rican parade
Brian's stunt bike Short drew about nine times his usual first-day likes, and some viewers think the officer looked like a man who misses riding.

COPS Were CURIOUS About My STUNT BIKE! 😭
"COPS Were CURIOUS About My STUNT BIKE!" is a short street conversation on brian_636's channel. Brian was riding his Kawasaki Ninja around Chicago's West Side during the Puerto Rican parade when a police officer stopped to ask a simple question: where is the gas tank? According to the description, Brian explains what kind of bike it is and what it is built for.
That small exchange became the channel's breakout of the week. The Short passed 150,000 views in its first day, about eight times what a new Short of his usually manages. The rest of the channel was running slower than usual, a few days after his night ride to the place where the rapper Bloodhound Q50 was killed.
Police keep turning up in Brian's Chicago videos. A week earlier he posted a no-hands wheelie past an officer under the title "Watch How CHILL this COP was!" This time nobody does a stunt. It is just curiosity on both sides.
The comments circle back to the officer's easy manner, and one viewer reads his eyes as those of someone who wishes he could ride again. A few others repeat the old advice never to chat with police, while the bike people go straight to engine years. Several call the K5 Ninja motor the best of the lot. One viewer says he has watched Brian for eight years and finds him doing the same thing he always has.
