high speed chase

[bear]

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.]

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?

[Ixion]

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

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

[pritch]

I'd like to see some tire shooting.

Sadly you are grossly over-estimating the ability of the NZ Police to use firearms. Most of them wouldn't hit the car...

[Stroker Girl]

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.....???

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!

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.

[c4.]

How wide are the gaps between the spikes on the mat they rollout??
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.

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....

[Waylander]

What channel is it gonna be on?

[c4.]

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

[Waylander]

HA!! It was stolen, note the comment "closely followed," and drug charges? For what?

[c4.]

No wonder the chase seem to go round and round new lynn avondale, he wanted to get home for a shower!

[MrMelon]

I recognise the dude who owns the fireblade that got stolen from the tokaanu rally last year. Is he a kiwibiker?

[BUBBLE]

An old fireblade. He was riding it like he stole it....ha ha he had stolen it. They had the owner of the bike on TV and he was happy to get his bike back.
