if this is your bike well you now know where it is

[Ixion]

WTF .

A Lifan Delta , FFS. I mean a LIFAN, and the Delta crusier thing at that

And "high speed chase" At up to 100kph !

Were the cops on roller skates?

Trouble is, Ixion, if the cops don't pull out of the chase and if (when) the Lifan disintegrates and the kids dies, the media will go all out on blaming the cops for their hungry pursuit of the criminal.

They'll interview his tearful mother who will tell John Campbell what a "good kid" her little Tama actually was and how those brutal cops should be "made to pay" for this.

Damned if they do, and damned if they don't.

HA mate like NOBODY is gonna pay their rego levies now!!:banana:

oh shit that was good!! LMAO!

[YellowDog]

So no point paying for regos, just do a runner and the cops won't chase?

[Ixion]

Only if your bike is at least as fast as a Lifan Delta 250cc crusier.

Nah mate - Segways...:whistle:

[ukusa]

WTF, who the hell would want to even steal a Lifan Delta???
It'd be like stealing a Lada, or worse a Skoda

[Bend-it]

Don't under-estimate the speed of such a powerful motorcycle... it has not just one, but two cylinders, each displacing a hundred and twenty-five cubic centimetres... The Harley Davidson clone is capable of top speed in three figures and the rider would be very very staunch...

I'd hate to be the cop that has to go up against such a formidable foe!

:crazy:

[quallman1234]

Ahaha.

No reg/No wof

[MarkH]

WTF, who the hell would want to even steal a Lifan Delta???

A mate of mine left his Lifan Delta in his driveway with the keys in it, when he went out to it the next day some criminal scum had gone a put another Lifan Delta beside it. Now he has 2 of them and he isn't happy - his situation is now twice as bad as it was!

[Reckless]

Ahaha.

http://www.carjam.co.nz/car/?plate=28WWL

No reg/No wof

Bingo! send it to Nick Smith!! LOL!!

[Ixion]

I reckon the cops were so doubled up laughing that they couldn't drive

Bastard... that really pisses me off... castrate all the Lifan-Delta-giver-awayers, I say!!

if this is your bike well you now know where it is

If they are smart, they will quietly look the other way and collect the insurance money.

F'n A'hole criminal scum doing that to your poor mate. Crims just have no conscience these days :oi-grr:

[Pixie]

Nah mate - Segways...:whistle:

The cops had to pull out as the "biker left the carpark and the cops weren't allowed to ride their segways on the road

[zahria]

That chase went right past me as I was about to pull out of the wholesalers, and it didn't look like a Lifan to me, I thought it was a TL1000. I'll have to google a Lifan now...
Was going quick, and the cops wern't mucking around either.

EDIT: that was no Lifan Delta!!

[ready4whatever]

Shit imagine running with a superbike then. Just chuck on some other plates and sweet.
Im not gonna reg my bike anymore. even if levies dont go ahead, too late for that they've already pissed me off

[scumdog]

Only if your bike is at least as fast as a Lifan Delta 250cc crusier.

Heh, a STOLEN bike always goes faster - I take it this particular bike wasn't stolen from you???:whistle:

[Naki Rat]

Heh, a STOLEN bike always goes faster - I take it this particular bike wasn't stolen from you???:whistle:

Even faster than a rental vehicle ? :chase:

[scumdog]

Even faster than a rental vehicle ? :chase:

Yep, and ALMOST as fast as a stolen rental vehicle.

Only I doubt this stolen bike was a rental - who rents out Lifans???:wacko:

[Ixion]

Sounds like maybe the plate was switched.So not a Lifan at all maybe

The old James Bond rotating numberplate on the Suzuki trick eh! Giving those Lifans a bad name (if that's possible)

:2thumbsup

What? All $4??

[Elysium]

Yep a speeding bike and some cop cars speed past our work today. Didn't see the bike though. A Lifan? Surprised it didn't crap out after reaching 100km/h

[MarkH]

Surprised it didn't crap out after reaching 100km/h

Surely you meant to say "before"!

[Fatjim]

Whats the bet the copper that called the plate in was a chick.

[Elysium]

Christchurch has its murders, Auckland it's stolen cars and bikes, Hamilton its beatings and what do we get? A guy flogs a Lifan.

[mattian]

the problem with these 250 cruisers is that they are all made to "look" bigger than they are....... he probably thought he was stealing a Harley :lol:

[Insanity_rules]

LOL LOL LOL :2thumbsup A stolen lifan, the poor thief. What a freakin winner. Its about time we got one over on a bike thief.

I wonder if the cops have fiqured out it may not have been a Lifan? They may now be checking on KB owners of TL1000 :dodge:

[ukusa]

come on, own up. Who the kber who had his Lifan plate nicked??

[EJK]

A LiFAN??? WTF????

[smoky]

Which way did they go..........?

[smoky]

The local Palmy cop;

[vtec]

Either it is a Lifan, if the speed was only 100kph. Because if it was a TL1000, then it would reach 200kph in a few seconds, and the cops as usual were bullshitting about how far they took the chase before the bike lost them, and they claimed that they abandoned pursuit for safety issues.

[Elysium]

and they claimed that they abandoned pursuit for safety issues.


That part could be true as the parts of Lifan flying back at the car would have posed a srious risk to them and the public.

[one fast tl1ooo]

:Police: :chase: Time to hide... :nono: :bleh::msn-wink:

[Elysium]

:Police: :chase: Time to hide... :nono: :bleh::msn-wink:

Yep I haven't seen many TL's here in Palmy.

[Owl]

I spoke to a guy last night that witnessed some of it. Definitely no Lifan, definitely faster than 100kph and riding two-up.

[oldrider]

Aaaah ha, I see a means of overcoming the perils of bike theft when I visit the North.

I shall paint my Tiger to resemble a Lifan and cover it with the appropriate decals so that thieves think it is a real Lifan!

Then I shall just leave it laying about with keys in it and it will never get stolen!

So many great ideas can be attributed to their birth on this forum, it is truely amazing! :first:

PS: Er what will I do about all the Lifan's that get left parked beside it? :confused:

[merv]

Ah Rifan, made from the highest quarity materials in China (said in an Asian accent).

The cops didn't stand a chance.

[ukusa]

Would this also work by painting a WRX to look like a Skoda?

my suggestion would be a bon fire but i take it they dont event burn well

[meowmix]

Nah, the superior speed and handling of the 250 Lifan would give it away.

[one fast tl1ooo]

well said.. buy this man a beer

[chef]

i cant belive for 1 second that a delta out ran coppers in palmy now that just makes me LOL

[awayatc]

Anybody who steals a Lifan should keep it......
as punishment....

[Genie]

oh this is the funniest thread ever, have no idea what a Lifan is (don't want to either by the sounds of it) just know i won't be buying one! Might steal one.

[nudemetalz]

Looks like a Harley to me. Its got the Harley brakes for a start, high output motor that Harleys have and lots of chrome. Its a Harley.

Yup, and that's why it managed to outrun the fuzz....:woohoo:

You mothers should write for a comedy show...very funny, made my day.

[Brett]

LOL my sentiments exactly. It actually sounds rather tame...

But did insurance pay him out?

[shrub]

LOL LOL LOL :2thumbsup A stolen lifan, the poor thief. What a freakin winner. Its about time we got one over on a bike thief.

Fantastic! You've given me a good laugh.

I guess it confirms that bike thieves are sub-species, kind of like cro magnons

[Insanity_rules]

Yeah I mean if your going to steal a bike, you'd steal an exciting one right? Those lifan's are good basic transport but hardly a pulse racer. It'd be like stealing a GN250 (before the gn owners pan me, I've done my time on one and loved it).

[shrub]

I'd rather steal a skateboard. It would be faster and you could swap the skateboard for a tinny.

[scumdog]

They don't have to worry about the wally in Marlborough being chased again eh.
