Hehehehehe... You're right. I don't need to answer this.
heh yeah you can't outrun yourselfHehehehehe... You're right. I don't need to answer this.
You might be surprised.heh yeah you can't outrun yourselfHehehehehe... You're right. I don't need to answer this.
Not that I'd ever go there.... I'd say anytime your going so fast that they are probably going to take you to jail anyhow
I think that any speed at which they are going to take my license I'd prolly try to get away...I might as well try and get away...most police aren't that harsh on evading police.

In New Zealand, once you're 50k over the speed limit, they
rip your licence up on the side of the road.
So..... once you're over 150kph, you're aren't going to get into much more trouble if you try to get away.
famous last words eh
I ran away from a cop when I was 20 on my VFR750 and just when I thought I was going to get away with it i ran out of petrol DOH.
Bike comes to a stop, I get off, sit on the side of the road. A minute later the cop comes charging round the round the courner and here I am sitting waiting for him. ( I know I should have hidden but at the time I was a bit stressed out about the whole thing and wasn't thinking straight ).
Anyway that was a Dangerous Driving Charge, and six months of discovering how slow a push bike is

in ohio anything over 120 they cant chase u. I know sooo many guys that out run em all summer long. if u stop u get caught. the trick they say is to know where u are and get off the highway ASAP... and hit the country roads. cleveland police have a policy where they dont chase bikes anymore.
they have declared it a waiste of time. plus the city just lost like over 20 patrol men and no more helicopter.
the city is in a huge deficete (spelling?) , i know i know those things are good things. but oh well ur only young and stupid once.. plus i live in the next county over.

same in seattle "no more high speed chases" I ride with some seattle cops, and they say its all good, just dont get caught...
if I thought I could get away why not? not like I'm a bank robber er somthin.
also if you blow by a stater on the freeway doin 150-60 or so, by the time they get the patrol car out on the freeway and up to speed, you have the busa nailed and in 3 seconds your doin 190 and thats roughly 300 ft per second, one football feild every 3 seconds, odds are you wont even see his lights come on, kinda hard to stop if you dont see the lights? who looks in the mirror at that speed? go a few exits, pull off and step inside.(this is specualtory in theory and I dont recommend trying this at home)

I certainly do not want to imply that running from the cops is a good idea, or that I would ever do anything of the sort, it's not a real bright idea. However I do agree with Twist on this. I myself have NEVER done this but I have a friend his name is uh...Bob. Well one day Bob is out enjoying his bike in the country side he just passed a whole stack of cagers and was traveling at an uncharacteristically high velocity. We'll round an approaching bend comes Johny law in his Smokey mobile. Now Bob looked down and saw that he was still high into triple digit speeds in a 45mph zone. So what to do?
Bob decided that if he just pulled over he is totally hosed and going to jail, so...may as well go to jail for a reason and put his head down and rolled deeper into the throttle. He had seen the LEO's car whip it off the shoulder and start to turn around but never saw any lights, in fact Bob never even saw the front end of the car. It was Bob's playground, he knew the roads so he just made a point of evaporating. Not all that dramatic, but Bob never did see another LEO that day.
You cannot out run the radio...true enough, but you can be far enough out of sight that the LEO doesn't have any idea on who to call, or where.
So I guess I will take my cue from ole' Bob here...if I somehow get tagged while doing more than double the limit or if I am well into the triple digits...I'm gone, if the circumstances are right. I.E. out of the city, good weather, clean roads, familiar turf, lots of gas... If you are trying to run inside a city, your just going to die at a high rate of speed and may take some innocents with you, I cannot stomach those options... out in the sticks a little bit, if it's just my life I am playing with maybe... My .02 anyway...

Okay...I'm going to 100% disagree simply because I can't help but think about all those that decide to run and end up wrecking...your adrenaline sky rockets...you might have the fastest bike, but that won't guarantee you can handle it, especially if you're in an unfamiliar area...sure, you can overanalyze and try to determine "am I in a 'safe' area, know the road ahead, etc", but your body will react in a way that you might not expect since you have so much at stake...plus, in those two seconds, who really has time to think about all of that sh*t anyway?
I just hate to see anyone wrapped around a telephone pole because they did decide to run...I lost someone very close to me when he was busted speeding and didn't think he could afford one more ticket, nor could he ever imagine that the decisions he made in that instant to run would cost him his life...
Not trying to preach to anyone here, but seeing a bike broken in two pieces right where he was sitting after hitting the pole was a great way to realize how much running wasn't worth it...
Stepping down now...sorry...

Works for me.........Run,but don't run long enough to hang yourself by the radio.Go somewhere and hide-BE PATIENT!
See now if you hadn't of made your post so personal I could tee off on what you had to say.... But...Okay...I'm going to 100% disagree simply because I can't help but think about all those that decide to run and end up wrecking...your adrenaline sky rockets...you might have the fastest bike, but that won't guarantee you can handle it, especially if you're in an unfamiliar area...sure, you can overanalyze and try to determine "am I in a 'safe' area, know the road ahead, etc", but your body will react in a way that you might not expect since you have so much at stake...plus, in those two seconds, who really has time to think about all of that sh*t anyway?

I mean real world, running from LEO's is about dumb, but it happens. If you smoke yourself running from the police then you shouldn't have been running... it's important to know your limits and be able to face up to the reality of the moment. If you smoke someone else while running from a speeding ticket then you should just be shot, simple.
If you have experiance riding at high speeds and your out in familiar turf, there isn't really a reason for the adrenals to start firing extra because there is a cop behind you.
Especially when what I am talking about is not an extended Dukes of Freakin Hazard Hollywood style Chase scene with smoking tires and wheelies. What I was refering to is simply disappearing.
The kind of failure to stop that lasts about 5-8 seconds... It's not at all hard to simply put your head down and simply evaporate. The kind of evaporation that makes the Officer wonder if there was ever a bike at all. But Like I have mentioned before, I would never do anything like this, I am just talking about uh..Hypotheticals.
Now you mention that you cannot really know how your body will react when you have so much at stake... I dunno about that, I mean a person is allready traveling at a highly illegal velocity to begin with, allready functioning at an elevated state of alertness and focus. Adding a LEO to the equation prolly wont effect judgement one way or another in this kind of situation. Might have given Bob a little bit of a schoolyard kinda thrill, you know like throwing the dodge ball at the PE teacher, but no real increase in heart rate, what was behind him just really no longer mattered...
But the whole idea of running is just silly and wrong and nobody I know here in Tampa or on this board would EVER think of doing something so irriational, irresponsible, and reckless... I mean it would be like owning a sport bike...Dangerous... Nope, none here like that at all.
Drive like an A-hole on a bike and you will die, sooner or later. The cost of a ticket doesn't compare with the cost to you and to that of your family when you die of trauma.
Being a FF/EMT on scene of a traffic fatality, it is horible to see what the family goes through when they find out.
That being said, boy does this bike beg to be throttled.

You're so full of shiot that you probably stink!
