Last night's runner... (19 March)

[Swoop]

Had a good chuckle, listening to the cat and mouse tactics going on in West Auckland last night.:scooter:
Bike with multiple cop cars racing around. Several "pauses" in the entertainment when the bike was in hiding... then off again!
Glad to hear it all end happily (for the biker, of course!)...

:scooter: :dodge: :Police: :angry: :chase:

:ride: :first:

:woohoo: :clap:

Yep, the local Headhunter doing his "P" deliveries... glad to hear he got away, now he can continue selling to your kids...:dodge:

It was NW motorway plus Te At South... He seemed to lead the chase south for quite a while!

Headhunters on a sportbike???
T'was not the sound of a hogley, that's for sure! :rofl:

[ManDownUnder]

"YAY he's riding a bike - yay he got away!!!!"

"Oh hang on... the bike was stolen/he killed someone doing a runner/he was pissed as a newt/he's a con on the run... etc"

hmmm suddenly giving him support doesn't look like such a sensible thing...

Just because someone's on bike doesn't mean they deserve unconditional support of other bikers. And anyone vs. the Police is a similarly pathetic argument.

As always MDU, the voice of reason...
Well put hun!

But what if he was just your average biker trying to avoid an traffic violation?

And vice versa mate. Just cause the cops are chasing doesn't mean he's a criminal.

[ManDownUnder]

Then I'm annoyed he's wasting so much Police resource

You do _he crime you do _he _ime... Care to choose a le_ _er?

[Patrick]

And what if he was a pissed rider doing his "P" deliveries?

"Average" bikers don't do that sort of shit... they take their medicine. A small ticket blown out to a court hearing... good move, loser.

I presume they have his reg and will pay a visit soon?

Perhaps he went through a red light, something that pisses off the masses on here in KB land...

[ManDownUnder]

And vice versa mate. Just cause the cops are chasing doesn't mean he's a criminal.

au contraire... "failing to stop" is an offence - no?

[Patrick]

As is dangerous/reckless driving, dangerous speed, all of which I am sure this oxygen thief did during the chase... and all perhaps to avoid a $150 or so ticket...

(not that I in anyway condone running from the feds)

could have been riding around on 90 demerits, dreading the next cop who decides to ticket for bugger all (like 11%) over the limit... decided to run in order to keep his (or her) license, job, house etc

but then again, could have been some P'd out freak hyped up on party pills and cheap wine out on a mission to score the next hit

And if he was on 90, instead of 3 months for excess demerits, bump it up to a minimum 6 months or more for taking off and causing a pursuit. DOH!

[Indiana_Jones]

Wasn't this guy was it?

Could have been "worth" the risk

[Smorg]

...

not if he was any good and had half a clue, no point in running if the cops have your rego.

And that is exactly the problem here. Perhaps I support the runner, perhaps i don't. But as to circumstances we are speculating, and none of the known facts have convinced me to condemn the runner, conversely nothing we know says the runner is anything other than an 'oxygen thief'.

Where we disagree, is that i don't have a problem with folks running...... sometimes.

yeah and i couldnt find any out west, stopped and asked the cops for directions to the next tinny house, but they were the "non corrupt types".
didnt even take the normal bribe. bugger.

Obviously they didn't, hence the need to chase him putting Joe Publics lives in danger!!

LOL yeah good point. I'd love to hear the rest of the story... c'mon - spill. I want details... So, what'd they do?

[ManDownUnder]

Jeez!

You kidding... the dude was caught in posession of a Honda... Red Handed so to speak...!

[scumdog]

But what if he was just your average biker trying to avoid an traffic violation?

Like, maybe riding sensibly would have done the trick????

That would avoid a traffic violation for the average biker.

Sheesh!!!!!!

[scumdog]

Jeez!
You Balclutha guys have got no sense of humour at all!!!

You take that back!!

We laughed at him while he was in the cells - that must count towards having a sense of humour, so there!!

Nah...good on him I say.
Bikers are getting too damn nice.
Whatever happened to the outlaw image.
I've seen crowds of bikers pulling up to a bar and ordering lattes for golly gosh sake!!!!
I don't know what a latte is but it didn't come in a pint glass that's for sure!!!

If we want car drivers to notice us on the road then throw away the knitted headlamp covers, take the baffles out of your exhausts, don't stop for cute iddy biddy ducklings and never take off your sunglasses at night!!!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[scumdog]

"You must spread some reputation around"

Mwahahaha!
You Arrowtown types always were at the leading edge of the rebel image weren't you!!!

Knitted headlight covers, - they'll be all the rage down here this coming winter I'll wager!
Aaaargh!

Goto Dick Smiths Crashe, they are only about $30 I had one a while back, still got a 8 page list of every available channel, ambo, police, coast guard etc etc etc... just tune in and listen...

Cheers mate... appreciate it.

[Lias]

Post the model and stuff I'd love a scanner but never been able to justify spending $200 on one (cheasest I've seen at DSE)

[Swoop]

Damn they came into my patch and I never heard a thing......
Was around 11pm[ish]. Just had to open the windows on a nice calm night to hear it all (not talking about the crickets getting jiggy wid it, either...:rofl:)
Would have thought it would have been all over the airwaves. A few units involved!

[paturoa]

Lock em up and throw away the key (while still in the bike)

What about the people around at the same time that could get hurt by this arsehole.

[avgas]

Klown and I were out west last night....but we were taking it slow so it cant have been us.

Obviously they didn't, hence the need to chase him putting Joe Publics lives in danger!!

All right, you scrawny beanpole: becoming a cop is not something that happens overnight. It takes one solid weekend of training to get that badge.

[bumsex]

yahoo! fuck the cops!

does anyone else think that this thread is ver P.C? it reeks of it to me.

can you blame the man from running from the cops? I love it when people do runners from the cops.
