From the NZHerald:

Biker's165km/h dash with wife a 'bad call'
1:15PM Thursday May 29, 2008


Jason David Forlong described a 19km dash from police during which he reached speeds of over 165km/h on his wife's motorbike with her on the back as a "bad judgment call", in the Tauranga District Court.

Forlong, 38, overtook numerous vehicles during the chase from Te Maunga to Te Puke on Sunday before he eventually stopped for police.

Tauranga District Court was told yesterday the chase began about 9.40pm after Forlong, who was riding his wife's 1000cc motorbike east on State Highway 2 at Te Maunga, was clocked by radar at 139km/h in the 100km/h area.

When signalled to stop by police, Forlong initially slowed but then sped off towards Te Maunga rail crossing.

He then turned towards Te Puke and overtook vehicles between Te Maunga and Domain Rd, Papamoa.

The motorcycle turned on to Domain Rd, then Tara Rd, where the speed limit is 80km/h. Forlong rode at more than 165km/h. He turned on to Parton Rd, into Bell Rd, back on to SH2 before turning towards Te Puke.

A patrol car got in front of him to slow him down but Forlong suddenly turned across traffic, narrowing missing a car travelling west, into Manoeka Rd. Ignoring the patrol car behind him, Forlong turned down Quarry Rd, slowed down and stopped. His wife on the back of the bike was very shaken.

When asked by Community Magistrate Robyn Paterson why he ignored the police signal to stop, Forlong said he'd made a "bad judgment call". "I just wasn't thinking at time."

Mrs Paterson told Forlong his behaviour was far more than simply a bad judgment call. "So you put your life, your wife's life and everyone else around you in grave danger rather than stop, that's just defies logic."

Forlong, 38, pleaded guilty to one charge each of reckless driving and failing to stop for police. He was fined $1300 plus $260 costs and lost his licence for six months.

[gtr boy]

what a nut case :oi-grr:............hahahahaha

[tri boy]

No jiggy jig for him this year. Dickhead.

[DingoZ]

:shit:.....:spanking:....:gob:

[Coldrider]

$1300 & six months walking, not exactly punishement, $600 and licence keep if he had of stopped like a gentleman (assuming no other demerits).
He could have argued there is no persuit until he acknowledged he was being followed, what ever that takes.

[Tank]

If he moved back on the seat a bit, pushing off the ballast (sorry I mean pillion) - I reckon he would have gotten away with it.

[Coldrider]

He cared enough to let a patrol car get in front of him.
Wife's 1000cc motorcycle, I take it he had sex twice that day.

[Chrislost]

If he moved back on the seat a bit, pushing off the ballast (sorry I mean pillion) - I reckon he would have gotten away with it.

yeah, He just needed loft the front wheel and drop her in front of the cop.
Then he culd have made a complaint about them following too close and denied any knowlege of the red and blues.

:wari:

[Fatjim]

What's so wrong with 165kph? Is that like illegal or something?

[nodrog]

only 165kph what sort of puss nuts 1000cc bike was it?

was it stuck in 1st?

[Swoop]

Maybe his wife's right wrist would have been stronger than his.:oi-grr:

id say his will be getter stronger everynight now.

waaaaa ha ha ha :rofl: but in his defence he did say he wasn't thinking...

But yes, Mr BBM...that dude is a moron!

[Coldrider]

waaaaa ha ha ha :rofl: but in his defence he did say he wasn't thinking...
Wasn't thinking with his prick or his throttle hand either....

[Mikkel]

With penalties like that for trying to do a runner... sheesh!

Getting clocked at what is potentially more than 140 km/h it would seem like a no brainer... You'll need to sort out a bike pick-up regardless. :no:

[P38]

Wounder if she cooked him some eggs for tea that night?

[Matt Bleck]

HE sure is a Moron.... should of pushed his wife off as a decoy! :D

Unless she's particularly tasty, I doubt it would have made a schnizzel of difference, especially is she hit the pavement at 165kms

tasty?..... schnizzel?.... all sounds too much like schnitzel... I feel a steak coming on.

By the sounds of it he will also be stupid enough to ride while disqualified - rendering his insurance null and void.

[Disco Dan]

What a moron, if you going to do a runner at least make it worthwhile... *sigh*

165? If thats all he had the balls for he'd be better off marrying a man.

[SlashWylde]

165kph?! Pfft! Even my bike will go faster than that.

[mashman]

Wasn't thinking with his prick or his throttle hand either....

... and we think with other parts of our body????

[jrandom]

The motorcycle turned on to Domain Rd, then Tara Rd, where the speed limit is 80km/h. Forlong rode at more than 165km/h. He turned on to Parton Rd, into Bell Rd, back on to SH2 before turning towards Te Puke.

Doesn't say he hit 165, max. Says he rode at 'more than' 165.

Still.

He sucks.

Only very bad men do runners with the missus on the back.

And only particularly bad riders do failed runners with the missus on the back!


$1300 plus $260 costs and lost his licence for six months.

Not that bad, really, if the ticket was going to take him over 100 points. Also, if he was clocked at 139, he wouldn't have known whether they'd got him at 140 or over, meaning that he was juggling an instant roadside suspension in the risk analysis, too.

Now, I hate to point this out, but $600 and three months versus $1560 and six months? If he hadn't be a totally useless cunt, he'd probably have had a better than 50% chance of getting away, making the runner a pretty good bet.

But.

Not with the missus on the back.

:nono:

[cowboyz]

I tend to agree. And the roads they are talking about are fairly open from what I remember, if it is the area I am thinking of. Cant condone doing a runner but if there is space.................... people buy lotto tickets with lower odds of winning.

[Owl]

No matter how fast the bike, it's never going to out pace a radio.:doh:

[jrandom]

No matter how fast the bike, it's never going to out pace a radio.

One would imagine that a wise (if lawless) rider would take such matters into consideration when making the decision to run from the fuzz.

The geography and topology of the road network in the immediate area (and familiarity therewith) would, one imagines, be key factors in such a decision.

200kph along a main state highway is the canonical dumb-arse way to do a runner. The cops know where you are, and you're not going any faster than their Commodes can.

Then again, the best advice is simply to keep one's riding legal on roads that the Highway Patrol take an interest in.

:yes:

[yod]

I noticed :laugh:...it is nice I admit when my tastes in artistic curvaciousness is shared. :yes:

....and they are by probably 99.9% of the population around here....

[cowboyz]

Which reminds me,

This one time, at band camp.........

Mrs C and I were travelling up north. Got just past vinegar Hill and Mr Tosser shows up in a piece of shit car. Really dodgey pass coming past us which very nearly resulted in a head on with a minivan. Then he drove between 80-110km/hr swerving all over the road. A couple of times I was already on the brakes cause I thought he was heading for a head on or off the road so I *555'ed him. Police took details and asked if shen a patrol shows up would we stop and identify the car. No problem.

On the OTHER SIDE of TAIHAPE (good 30km) we lost the car due to not wanting to pass where he was (before this we never exceeded 100km.hr and although he was making dodgey passes he never actually got away) he did evade us. Police didnt show up in time and he got away.

Now this was over half an hour without exceeding the speed limit.

I say 150HP and a bit of sense is good odds Vs a patrol car.

[jrandom]

I say 150HP and a bit of sense is good odds Vs a patrol car.

Of course.

One presumes that this guy only gave the runner a very half-hearted effort.

What a very silly man he is.

To be honest, in his position right now I'd be more worried about my wife's reaction than the fine, licence suspension and fucked insurance premiums!

I bet he stopped due to the bashes in his kidneys getting absolutely impossible to ignore, rather than due to any real belief that he couldn't get away from the patrol cars.

:laugh:

[tpft]

i,ve heard of this guy and had the missfortune to do business with him once b4, and he is so full of sh#$% its unbeliveable!!!!!!!!

and it ain,t his missus bike its his, pussy sv 1000.
myself and a few others on kiwibiker have had run in,s with him.

he,s ended up in court numerous times from selling bikes that ain,t what they meant to be.
and for stealing money from his employers.

and i,m not saying good or bad to running, if u got the balls and no one else is going to get hurt then its your skin.
but this loser, cops should have given him the bash

Karma is a bitch....................

[jrandom]

i,ve heard of this guy and had the missfortune to do business with him once b4, and he is so full of sh#$% its unbeliveable!!!!!!!!

Interesting.

[Forest]

Why does everyone assume it was a sports bike?

Could have been a Harley or some other old clunker.


Edit - Oh! So it could have been an SV1000. Ignore my post.

[cowboyz]

we can safely assume it wasnt a harley because there was no reports of things flying off it and it was speeding.

[Swoop]

Surely this guy MUST be the poster man for the Mormon Few. Phew!
Debateable. They would have their boyfriend on the back.

I bet he stopped due to the bashes in his kidneys getting absolutely impossible to ignore, rather than due to any real belief that he couldn't get away from the patrol cars.
He should have used the excuse "trying to go faster than the nagging coming from behind".

[Matt_TG]

We live in spitting distance of Tara Road, yeah it's a straight stretch but not very wide, with blind driveways and cattle on one side, a rough curve at one end and traffic island at the other. I heard the sirens and wondered what was up - didn't hear the bike though. Could have been nasty.

There's been a few runners on bikes around here lately, last week a Ducati rider headed into an orchard between Katikati and Tauranga to evade Police (who abandoned the chase not long after it started). Public pointed the way and dogs got him lol.

[fridayflash]

what a tosser!! a runner maaaaybe,but with a pillion? your missus?
never!

[Mikkel]

I dare say if you're doing a runner with a pillion - it wouldn't matter at all whether it be your missus or not...

meh - I never liked his missus anyway. :lol:

[Number One]

LOL!

What a charmer :rolleyes: can I get your number :laugh:

[007XX]

Only very bad men do runners .



:love:


....and they are by probably 99.9% of the population around here....

Aawwwww, cheers...keep this up and I might have to ask you to be my friend :msn-wink:

Aaaannyway...I've never much understood why anyone would do a runner personally. I mean you got a few chances that the cops will have your number plate by the end of it, and so you got to sweat like a pig on a stick ('scuse the pun) while you await the generally much justified arm of the law to descend on your scruffy biker's neck...

AND you help give us all a bad name...:mad:

*but I can understand it'd be quite a rush though*

[yod]

so it wasn't a kwaka either?

[Toaster]

Gotten away with which part... the pursuit or the murder?:bleh:

[ynot slow]

Sounds like one of lifes intelligent being.He has probably read the numerous press reports of cops giving up the chase when speeds get up,or traffic situations endanger people.He must of been sufficiently intelligent to realise this,as he sped up,had the endangerment of people(pillion),therefore hoping the cops would abandon the pursuit,doh they didn't.

And he got off relatively light fine and disqualification wise,considering the charges.

[Insanity_rules]

Oh my god what a dick and he'll be giving bikers a bad name.

[beyond]

Mortified to hear this :(

Now are you sure the Herald got the CC rating right. They may have meant a 100cc.
Either that or half his pots were cooked :)

Com'on, if he and his wife had hung off the bike on the corners they would have left an HP for dead..... surely????

[Iggy]

6 months loss of licence!!! what a bloody joke....what happens if he came off at some stupid speed and this twat(the idiot who is at the control of the bike) some how survives the big bin and kills his wife!!! Doesnt bear thinking about our so called effective justice system.

[Metalor]

If I was the cop who eventually pulled that guy over I would have given him a great, manly blowjob for being so awesome. Seriously.

[Pedrostt500]

But this is what gets me about our judicial system, he gets a light fine and a 6 month loss of licence, if the took his licence for 12months and one day he would have to fully resit his licence, but now in 6 months hes back on the roade, being a accident waiting for some one else to happen. and it might be a loved one near you.

[MaxB]

I reread the article and I now think that it wasn't the speed that is the issue here. It was the riding like a cock. Overtaking recklessly, turning across oncoming traffic all with the missus on the back. The speed is just another bad judgement call on top of all the others.

If the only thing he does when he gets back on the road is slow down he will still be a big risk to other road users.

[mctshirt]

There's an assumption the decision to run was his.

"When signalled to stop by police, Forlong initially slowed but then sped off towards Te Maunga rail crossing."

Ladies and gentleman of the jury I put it to you he was going to stop then the kidney punching and screaming started "If you ever want sex again you better outrun these bastards!!!"

[P38]

Well at least if he ever want sex with her again.

Other possibilities are always on the horizon.

[offrd]

Hardly worth trying to run... They only have to see your rego and you are screwed!

Go home and Mr Plod will visit when it suits him.....

Million dollar question is... Did they get your rego?... Or didnt they.....

my dad and my mum thanks!

[freddy72]

What a dick and very bad choice of roads to try and run on too.

[RocKai]

It should have been Reckless Driving and Attempt Murder (of pillion). I wonder what his missus were doing while he was trying to evade police???

And just for prevention of his right hand's function in case of missus' revoke of bed time and throttle of gas, I reckon his thumbs should be chopped off had he been speeding somewhere in Arab. :angry:

[2much]

Nice thread revive!

But thanks, I missed this and have to laugh as i knew Jason. chur
