Ok who would run

[Jackrat]

Alright I got to admit now days I take a pretty dim view of people running from the law.But that don,t mean I hav,nt done so in the past,Ok ok I know what that means, but I was younger then and it seemed like a good idea at the time.Now I would think very hard about it before doing something like that again.Both times I did it in the past I was going hard when a cop stepped
out on the road an waved,so I didn,t run as such, I just didn,t see em, an kept going,I mean a 750/4 ain,t going to catch a GT750 with a 100mph head start,an a Holden kingswood ain,t going to catch anything full stop,So I wasn,t really running ya, see.Today things have changed,some of those cop cars can really honk,so things ain,t over before things go bad.
At one time if you got the jump on em, they stood no chance.
Not today,Aye

With you 100% Jack. Ran once or thrice a number of years back - my CB1100 was one of the faster things on the road then, but these days it is not. Even if I had a 300K capable bike, the cops still have a better arsenal these days, so the odds on getting away with it are severely diminished.
Reckon I might invest in a radar detector soon, though...

I've only run a couple or so times - one time the CB750 was pulling in the 350 BSA single...I couldn't understand that,seeing as how I was the second fastest rider in the world at the time.It all ended at the stake out of the Gluepot - 6 of the bastards stopped me.Other times I've got away...but I think it was all in my head,they were probably only doing a U turn because they forgot their lunch.

Doubt if I'd run - things would have to be all stacked in my favour,and the first sign that they aren't is when a cop sees you.

I have a couple of times....once taking the Otara/Whitford Rd coming up the hill after the last roundabout (by the Nursery) - after passing a number of cars so I could enjoy the left hander - a cop came the other way. Lights went on - throttle went on....hid in the Land Fill before Whitford.

Other than that - I wouldn't run now coz I would just high side the bike

I have never run!! A couple of Christmas's ago on Hobsonville Rd, I was doing 128 (apparently) in a 50 I had just come past a bunch of cars and there was a cop, he had to wait to do a u-turn, I slowed down and waited for him.
He ticketed me for 75 in a 50 and told me his reason for doing so was simply that we both knew I could have got away from him.
There are worse things in life than a speeding ticked!!!
That is however only my opinion

I once ran from a cop on a BMW R65 on my RG250 going over the Rimutakas.

Was a no contest that, but I don't think I would now. I have a different attitude to that sort of stuff now, i.e. it was me breaking the law and I'm old enough and ugly enough to know better.

One time I was riding my C50 home from work,going up a badly rutted steep gravel road (Seaveiw rd on Waiheke),fast as I could go - when I went past the local traffic cop out for a walk...um...I was only going a bit faster than him and it was easy for him to see the bike had no rego,he could of jogged alongside me and pulled me over no sweat - bit embarrasing when you can't outrun a cop on foot.He knew that I knew that he had seen it,so I didn't ride it again till I got a rego.

only once, but i was on a 250 2 stroke,

They say if you wait long enough on the internet things just keep repeating

Could this mean that we have nothing new and interesting to talk about?

How about we talk about the new and interesting ZX-10. I just read a few pages worth of review for it and man that thing rocks!!

Oh wait... That's been repeated a few times as well.

Its $5000 and 12 months loss of licence if you run and don't hide properly.

I stopped for 145 in 100 zone, but yeah I said that before.
Let's forget about running away from cops and start a topic on would you run over a cop instead?

Hahahahahahaha - Yeah quite likely these days.

i dunno about running, but i'd seriously think about keeping the pace on - especially if there was some traffic

[Kwaka-Kid]

nope, i have changed heaps since my joining of KB... and im sure i would have said i would run, and possibly would have been stupid enuf to try... not anymore. Its just too risky/hard. Im not a fast enough rider on unknowen roads as it is, just cant build that confidence up enough to take corners which i dont know/cant see around at the time at any form of pace... and from my last (and only) demerit earning experience i will be honest and say it was the first thing that came into my head, as the cop was coming head on @ 100, i was doing over that, and first thing i did was smack down 2 gears and then hesitate on the throttle as i gave it a quick thought, and just as i came to the conclusion that there was a passing lane coming up so the cop could pass the upcomming traffic with ease (there goes my one advantage on bike) i thought no.. looked in mirrors and cursed as he was already right up my rear end with the flashers on!!! fast... i used to sling off that they were only automatics and that they were cars etc.. but fuckme did i nearly jump off my bike when i got that surprise. Learnt a good lesson that day i think.
