high speed chase [Archive] - Kiwi Biker forums

Sitting at red light in New Lynn Ak approx 11am, Biker comes thru from green on left doing bout 120, corners like a real pro and opens up his (1300?) Yamaha, lifts front wheel out of the turn, and looks sky ward. WTF? I think.
Only one reason you look up doing those speeds... police chopper. :ar15:
then sirens approach, 5 cop cars sail thru lights after biker, closest car (bout 20 secs behind,) does much worse job cornering, and loses more time.
biker must've doubled back bout 2 mins later towards Waitacs, as cops trailed back down other side of New Lynn with chopper in tow. still hearing sirens 20 mins later!!
Anyone else catch this action??
Any more insights to what was going on?
Biker was lightly dressed, no 'proper' protection apart from helmet.
No bank bag full of money, no pack. Must've been a runner.

lamo..
cops might as well give up and save a big crash and just let the biker slow it down before s/he is killed with a few other people and just let the chopper watch from a distance. When the bike pulls over, then point the cops there.
No point chasing, cos they'll never catch 'um..

Man, must suck to get the chopper after ya how do you loose that (just for some... insight for me yes).

Havent heard anything on the silly box yet, but they only report it if they catch them, dont want to make the officers look bad :P

choppers have bout 4 hours flight time (plus saftey reserve).
keep away from em for 4 hours and you might be able to find a safe garage.
Not many get away except in the ambulance or worse.

at a good get-away pace, would you have 4 hours of fuel in your bike..?
plus there's more than one chopper, isn't there..?

John

8th April 2005, 12:46

I'd run out of fuel wait. What if you headed for the airport, in movies they arent allowed to go around the airport lol.

God I'm a loser.

I guess you're already on the run, what's one more felony? Gives the copcages time to catch up tho

Thats why you work a lead, go fill and then boost off heading north that way they might be scared off.

But seriously a refill in a chase would be easyish propably not for me - first check tires, then check chain, then clean visor, then re-arrange myself etc - I'm to pedatic at fuel stops, if you work it out well enough you would be fine, just make sure they can box you in, its not like they would shoot you or anything :lol:, or you could spend the entire chase on your front wheel... :ride:

bugjuice

8th April 2005, 12:57

or you could just not run..
but may be that's just me..

I have wondered tho, if I could do it. You see it too much in video games etc, and it kinda works, but that's just video games, anything's possible. But then on the road, there's other real people, and when you bin, you don't bounce like the vid games. And in GTA, when you get busted, you just end up in front of the copshop and you're off again.. yeah, may be not, ay?

Still pisses me off that they cant use guns. I'd like to see some tire shooting.

But still - I'd love to try it one day, in a controlled condition on a ZX6RR would be fun as bloody hell I would imagine, then just pull over when you hear a chopper and say that you didnt see them.

Or do a gone in 60 seconds, and get elanor to boost the helicopter, would be possible if you had some nosed up high ratio beast I supose.

Also, you are up against a team trained to stop you with a variety of tools designed to do the job.
I know of a few who have evaded minor pursuit, but 5 cops in a row on your tail, a chopper in the sky, and who knows how many waiting on escape route.
Only on one of Johns movies!

unrealted but.... YOUR THE BASTARD THAT BET MY GOLF HIGHSCORE!!! :angry2: :angry2: :angry2:

need to get some more spare time to practise again... :msn-wink:

Tick tock, tick tock...
Wondered what happened, if he cornered like a real pro then maybe it won't end in a crash (although speeding in a built up area it isn't likely).

c4.

8th April 2005, 14:52

Yeah he was going hard, only the bike looked like it had been modified, maybe for racing, and the rider looked like not.
jeans, light red nylon jacket, no gloves, 6'2", bout 110kilos, not typical race build.
Maybe stolen bike?

Underground carpark. Or forest trail , depending on bike. Maybe ditch the bike and walk out all innocent like .

A certain person, not unknown to me, did that on a certain Bandit also known to me. Chopper, 5 or 6 cars and he got away.
He did a runner, but chose a time and place where every Police car in the area had been called to another incident and stood down, free to chase him.

Can you get between them??

Waylander

Tunnels work well, 'specialy if you have a mate waiting there for ya. Just ditch the bike then hop in the mates car. If the bike is stolen then you lose nothin if not, well ya shouldn't have run in the first place.

BUBBLE

8th April 2005, 17:54

Its going to be on the news, they even had a shot of him in the shorts. Most Choppers wont do much more than 100mph, could be a fun race...chopper limited to 100mph straight line and bike limited to well over 150mph with corners. Sounds like a mission. Why do cops even bother chasing bikes there is no way that a car can catch a modern/mid size Jappa. What loosers....

I believe the police chopper may be able to fly in the region of 120 knots.
approx 130 mph

The owner even had a kind of addmiration for the dude that stole his bike. Said how he could imagine the thrill the guy got from riding like that.

8th April 2005, 19:22

In a hypothetical situation a certain mid-range sportsbike happened to be cruising down the mway at, oh lets say 220km/h, when said rider looked up and saw a uniform patrol coming toward him. As they were approaching an intersection (green lights, no traffic in bike's direction, but two cars in front of cop), biker thinks oh dear, sits up and bike drops to around 190 and slowing as they look across and said officer activates red/blues and attempts to do u-turn at intersection.

In this hypothetical scenario biker assesses situation and determines two options:

stopping = instant loss of licence, massive fines from court appearance and looooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnng disq period, cancelled CAR insurance (driving history), rogering by anally retentive policemand clearly dumb enough to believe he has a hope in hell of stopping a bike travelling near 200k in the opposite direction

or,

running = think power/weight commo vs bike... hmm... nearby exits, nearby "friendly" places with undercover parking, not much higher chance of binning than usual since pursuit would last about 1.7 seconds, and minimal chance that well-meaning citizen would take note of numberplate and report it to the cops so theoretical small chance of the same outcome as stopping.

Gee, what a hard decision. And gee the hypothetical rider is glad they don't have choppers around here :msn-wink:

8th April 2005, 19:23

If he is a KB'er he's keeping very quiet about it all, and after seeing him on TV I think he would have told us all by now!!

madboy

8th April 2005, 19:26

Oh, and a not so hypothetical situation - last night listening to the scanner the HP were looking for a "jap style bike, possibly had a bit of white on it" that did a runner from them on SH58 in Wgtn last night. Pity the poor guy riding the 1979 Yamaha (coloured brown) in the same area that got pulled by the cops thinking it might have been the guy. The HP's comment on the dude who ran was "I got him at 143, then he saw me and put the foot down - it was real fast" I'm guessing it was a figure of speech, otherwise that might hurt.

Holy Roller

8th April 2005, 19:34

To have your bike stolen when one is less than 30 feet away from it, that would rip ya nighty. Wonder whos house it was that the guy stripped off in to look like he was having a shower.

Ghost Lemur

8th April 2005, 19:55

Anyone else notice on the three news footage the owner riding off in helmet and tshirt, no gloves, etc.

Yeah noticed that myself. After wearing full gear now for some time when riding, I dislike the idea of riding in attire like that so much it sends shivers up my spine just thinking about it. Skin is too painfull to have to replace, leathers just means calling your ins. company and claiming it under house & contents.

hey all. lost some kilos, done lots of flying, sorted some shit out.

the police helicopter is (i'm pretty sure still is anyway) a twin engined squirrel, capable of around 130mph. don't forget it doesn't have to stop for lights or traffic. i flew over auckland in a light single fixed wing the other day - 3 or 4 minutes from overhead auckland airport to the sky tower, and i was only doing 120kts - the squirrel will do about the same. easily. 120kts is about 4kms a minute. not many bikes will outrun that....

oh and if it IS your bike, they have gyro stabilised zooming binoks that can take pix of your plate from 1000 feet. and they can easily get low level clearance into controlled airspace (under 1000ft), they have a good relationship with auckland ATC, ardmore is uncontrolled, and whenuapai is owned by the same company as the police.

I heard the local 5-0 round here discontinue a pursuit when someone (admittedly in a cage) was passing in "moderate" traffic down a local arterial but still residential road at 105k. Fark me, if that's all ya have to do - I'm never getting ticketed again!!

Nah seriously, as I've recounted many times in previous threads, the runner is all about luck - sometimes it's on your side, sometimes it's not. Of course, you can make your own luck by not overcooking it and crashing, and having another 50hp never goes astray, or being able to crack 200k anywhere...

The only reason I'd be worried trying it on a 2fiddy, is because of the lack of high end, 195 is fast, but They would still be not far off you if you got caught on a straight, where as a 400 or 250 smoke would leave them behind a better distance...

nah it was pretty crap aye, he only got up to one fiddy, and it was a cbr wasn't it? the corner they showed him take looked pretty pathetic aye, i mean he slowed right down and was pretty rigid sitting almost straight upright going round it, could definitely have been done better, but the owner was bloody funny going on about how he would have loved to have done it himself

But thought that he could have at least pulled a wheelie past the camera, or even tried that pole smoking fag.

I think I've only been chased on the mway once (as in, the other times I'm not sure if they chased or not, I didn't hang around to find out), and the scenario was pretty much I flashed past the just moving car at 180k while they were doing like 20... I think they chased, I was kinda concentrating on what was ahead of me.

And as for the 636, well, you slow down to 190 to wave before you fark off again.

The biggest handicap I have in pursuits is that if it gets close, I won't try and kill myself just to avoid some getting busted. Disq means nothing, who they hell cares about licences? Fines and increased insurance premiums hurt but not as much as injuries or broken bikes. I'm just lucky it's never been a fair fight on the bike.

roughly 220kmh as hour, most 400s will get to that, so a decent piloted litre bike could maintain that through light traffic!Agree in theory - hell I'd rate any modern sportsbike 600-up with a half decent/insane rider could do it. But that assumes its a dead straight road. Any deviation from straight ahead and all of a sudden the helicopter is back with a chance.

Even I would think twice before taking on a chopper.

Assuming Dad was about 20 when he was busy slaying the Hun and the Jap in 1945 and you were born on December 5 1986 I guess your Dad was a horny bugger for a 61 year old.

Remember all that you are you owe to your parents. Why don't you send them five cents and square the ledger?
Well actually 73, He taught me well.

I saw some footage on the news tonight, a guy on a CBR 900, 95 - 97 was being chased buy a whole lot of cops, (he had stolen it the day before) I think the owner had seen his bike today and then followed while calling the police,

The bike reached speeds of 150 kmh and then the theif dumped the said bike, and jumped in the shower, ( the news showed the cops with a half naked guy with just a towel on)

"Im just having a shower the guy said"

Then they showed the very happy owner of the bike riding it away. :ride:

All I can say is , at least the theif had good taste.

My last two chases were two guys doing 141kph and 149kph, both were losers but hey, at least they gave me a bit of a "run".

Off to the Middlemarch rally tomorrow when I sober up!!

See you there, phaedrus, sword and co.

Here is a question while I'm drunk, did the guy bring his own helmet when he stole it or did he nab that too? And if he brought his own why not some more gear like a jacket or decent jeans.

Oh and chill out spud even Zed was nice to bikers when he didn't have one. Winja is one thing but John is cool.

Thanks for the offer. It was my choice to sell the bike so I can't sulk for too long. There will be another one in my future but probably not for a couple of years.

Well have wadded my way through all these post and am left with this feeling:

Why Are We Glorifying A Fucken Thief?

This stupid fucker steal a bike (I would be fucken pissed off had the bike been mine). Then does a runner put others at risk (innocent people have died because off wankers like this). What do I read:

"All I can say is , at least the theif had good taste."

"pretty lame, he only pulled 150k apparently. Softcock. No wheelie action for the camera, no rude gestures to the cops, didn't even speed up for the school zones."

"Yea thats cool dude, that guy is a legend!"

"the owner was bloody funny going on about how he would have loved to have done it himself"

"The owner even had a kind of addmiration for the dude that stole his bike. Said how he could imagine the thrill the guy got from riding like that."

Stop glorifying the scum. I for one have no admiration for the prick. Would love to give him a good kick in the goolies:kick: What a wanker.

Well said RiderInBlack. Having had a bike stolen once I hate all thiefing bastards and well done the police taking an interest in helping the victim out. If they didn't respond it would be another media bashing session on the lack of Police action. No doubt someone will moan that they risked lives chasing him - more justification that Police should be allowed to just shoot thieves and leave the planet a better place for the rest of us. See how bitter having your bike stolen makes you.
And to whoever was asking it was a Honda 900 Fireblade circa 96 model I think.

Didn't some guy get away from the cops a few years ago by riding in the Auckland Casino carpark then losing them?

My mate got passed by him on the motorway, like he was standing still! Think it was a triumph.....???

I was listening to the police comms for that chase - he was being tailed by helicopter, but the cars had backed off (and even then I think only two had managed to get behind him) - he went into the casino carpark, dumped the bike near the lifts, took off jacket and helmet and went straight to the gaming floor.

They had no idea what he looked like, and by the time they got onto casino security, it was too late...

That's about the only way you'd get away from the helicopter really.

Sycophant

9th April 2005, 11:00

I believe the police chopper may be able to fly in the region of 120 knots.
approx 130 mph

The Auckland Police helicopter is an AS355 with a top speed of around 125kts or about 230Km/h -- In a straight line on a very good bike, you might out run it, but people don't normally run in straight lines I'd say.

Um, dude if you read that right you'll see that I wasn't talking about me. The owner was like that. I think the guy is a fuckin wanker who needs more than just a few months jail time. He should be glad the cops caught him instead of another group of bikers cause there would have been a hospital visit after that.

Sorry to add more, but just to clarify some stuff..

Me and spud where having a play all in good fun :lol:

And I would never ever in my entire life steal a bike, I would never resort to such a low form of life, I have no respect for the thief and all those dorks who do that pick in go thieving, pisses me off.

And in all seriousness I would propably never do a runner - I just know I would crash, preferr to loose my licence for a year than write off my bike...

But seriously the only reason I had abit of respect for him was the fact that he didnt wreck the owners bike, because that would have hurt the owner then, and the fact that the prick is in jail now for being an arse hole..

We shouldnt really condol such actions of course, but its abit contradictory to say that if you have done it yourself or would do it, food for thought I guess..

But if you steal a bike and I'm behind you I will rip out some 'Sega road rash 3D' on you.

edit: spud hope you get on two again soon! :ride:

You can dodge the cops cruisers, it is posible to out run the copter but there is one thing that no bike is faster than, someone may have said it in this thread already but it's radio waves. All the cops have to do is get on the horn and set up you and your bikes description and direction you headed and then you'll have 20 of them sittin on the road ahead of you. My advise, DON'T RUN.

Lilmsrocker

10th April 2005, 01:05

You cant outrun the copter, even if you can gain a few miles per hour on the straightline the copter can still keep you in vision by gaining height. Therefore improving its long range vision.

And if you are straightlining like a rocket train your predictable to normal pursuit vehicles so they can keep a pretty good fix on where you are and where your going. The secret of outrunning the cops is not to try outrunning them in Auckland, or pick a really cloudy day.
In Nevada the cops have a helicopter called "The Raven"....And that bastard can HEAT SEEK your sorry ass should you decide to "ditch" your ride and foot it somewhere and hide.....Can't hide from The Raven!.....And they just LOVE bringing that bad boy out to play with!.....Sucks to be runnin in Nevada!..ha!
