I've done it a few times and if I remember rightly (I HATE bike
missions) this one is a case of remaining relaxed, don't panic too
much and eventually he virtually gives himself to you. I noticed this
with a few other chases, that it was almost suicidal to try and take
the targets early, just follow and wait.

Having said that there was one later mission where I took a random
shot at a pickup I was chasing almost immediately, trying to get a
target fix, and the thing blew apart :O))

Thanks to GMpartsguy (my father worked at the GM plant in Van Nuys until he
retired in 91) And thanks to Paul. I used both your guys' strategies.. I
got D's money and am now supposed to meet him in at a Cluckin Bell's in
*Times Square*, but I reached the green marker and there's nothing.... I'm
afraid I'm going to have to do this mission over because I think a glitch
happened. Either way, Thanks for the advice, it was great!!!

Just drive safely and follow him. Eventually he'll start driving around in a
short loop, - so just get off/out and shoot him when he comes around for
another lap.
Also, you don't have to chase him on a bike, you can jack a car and use that
if you prefer.

Glad to have helped Buckaroo. My GMpartsguy screenname is from the early
90's, and actually quite outdated these days. I haven't been a GM parts guy
since 1999 (i'm east coast, New England). I've just never gotten around to
changing my newsgroup identity.

These days i work on cars for a living. I do some specialized consulting,
diagnosis, and installations for Ford dealers in our area. Odd stuff like
water leaks and electrical gremlins that technicians can't solve get sent to
our facility.
I also found out i'm very good with automotive glass replacement as well
the past couple years, and have a budding reputation from the luxury import
crowd. That's an honor. If you had told me i'd be working on BMW, Mercedes,
Audi (and all it's cousins), Lexus, even the occasional Corvette 10 years
ago, i would have laughed.
And when i'm not doing that, i'm installing audio, visual, and navigation
products. Plus toss in the occasional strobe/ wig-wag job for municipalities
or firefighters.

Much more diversity than slinging parts, my work week goes by quicker, i
answer to far fewer people, i make better $$, and that makes me happier than
Bob in those friggin Enzyte commercials.

Sorry for the ramble. I'm one of the few that love my job.

Not a problem... My father worked 'repair' which was basically working in
the 'backyard' fixing things that went wrong with the cars once they were
off the line... did you work at the Van Nuys plant at some point? It's a
shopping center now, they tore down the whole plant...

Ah, so either you're a fan of the original, or just hate the series
outright? I must confess... the first I heard of "The Office" was the
American version, and I didn't like it at first... but it grew on me...
which actually got me to be a fan of "Coupling"... which I now love!!! I
love Jeff!!!! "I've got too many legs!!!"
