    not really to law abiding, more scared of what can go wrong.

    I'm not to keen to round a corner at 250ks to catch a school bus pulling out in front of me, i guess i'd rather take a hit in the pocket that risk my life, and what if it was the cop that hit a bus or a car? i'd hate to be sitting at home watching the news to see that my actions cost someone their life, especialy some one i pay to keep me safe.

    By all means go out there and risk your own life, it's yours, go for it, but when someone else becomes involved and you dont do the right thing then you pushing into fuckwit territory and deserve what you get

    By the way, my name is John Smith, I live at 123 Main Road, Wainui, my rego plate is 50SUK...
    Girl!! i was doing 255 on the back wheel, and 200 past a school, then i slowed down and let him catch up just so i could wheely off at the same time facing backwards giving flicking him the bird and making a wanking gesture with my right foot...

    Apart from runners , there's also dodgers.

    Bikes can go a lot of places cars can't , and if you can get out of sight before the plod can get turned around you don't need super high speed.

    Surprising how many pedestrian walkways, alleys, parks, traffic queues and such there are if you keep an eye open.

    Less nasty if you do end up being caught too.

    I have only been nabbed a couple of times.

    I usually pull over as soon as the lights go up and conceed. The first time on my bike I was going rather quick and i pulled over and took off my helmet and rolled a ciggy and lit it and contemplated taking off again cause the cop took ages to catch up. I am just too law abiding. Every cop i been book by has taken it in good humour. Just part and parcel of being on the road really.

    Im on the fence. I would like to experience the rush of doing a runner, but I'm also not too comfortable witht the consequences
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Arrow As I currently have no bike.

    I can neither confirm nor deny anything
    Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.

    That loose c*nt got me into the craze as well. It's pretty good for some cheap thrills without the same concequences as doing it on a motorised set of 2 wheels.

    Pretty funny how easy it is to piss off a cop, just by doing a wheelie infront of em with no lights or helmet at night (on the push bike ofcourse!).

    I'd rather take a fine that risk a life, even if I got away they'd just up my rego to compensate the next year

    I clicked the 'my bike couldn't...' option but the reality is, I couldn't outrun a cop even if I wanted to! He'd have to be broken down on the side of the road for me to get away!
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!

    Used to do it regularly in the days when cops drove Wolsely 444s or austin A40s. No flashing lightsor sirens, (A bell on the roof) no radio and had to follow !/3 of a mile with a passenger as witness. Those days the law was on our side. Now I couldn't outrun a cop on a skateboard.
