Would you run?

[Brains]

I'm with you. Now shall we get out the nitty gritty of our stories?

I pulled a massive arse wheelie off a rise at 250km/h while I was being chased by the highway patrol. F***ing smoked the c***sucking pig. That'll teach him for trying to bust me for 190k past a school!!

By the way, my name is John Smith, I live at 123 Main Road, Wainui, my rego plate is 50SUK...

Easy there in the language and insinuations boyo, I'm a card carrying member of the c*** sucking/linking club , so don't you go associated my fellow brothers wtih those dip shit coppers. Ya hear

[mikey]

yeah, watch out they dont get ur plate! a cop mate told me its $10,000 for not stoping for red and blue!

fuck off, your a gullible frog.
a cop mate told me i could ride as fast as i want where ever i want, reckon you should try it!

you might get fined 10,000 but that would be at the upper limit (if it hasnt gone over) or you might get 20hours community service

[mikey]

i did this runner once, someone said theres one beer left in the fridge, turns out the cock was lying an there was two an i got the "while your up, grab us a beer...."

Nah Mikey you're wrong mate - If you do a runner and manage to get away, you've won. You're then suppossed to go to the local police station, tell them your name and address and the story behind your runner and you win some great prizes, including free accomodation, food, and prossibly even being used as someones bitch in the shower for a few months.

Honest...

Apparently the resort is great too...mate of mine in secondary school reckoned that his Uncle robbed a gas station just so that he could go there...'cos the pies were way better than his wife's cooking. Supposedly they've even got XBOX these days too.

As for running...too law abiding? The law and morality aren't always aligned, and it's the latter judges my actions (sometimes fear of the former though). Sometimes stop, sometimes not.

I have and do if the conditions are right, ie Im caught speeding and the cop flashes his lights his brakes go on as he disappears around a slight bend, in front of me is a exit road I know and can take with ease to loose him without doing high speed, do I take it, FUCK YEAH, I had this scenario occur two months ago and didnt risk anything, I just made a left hand turn and disappeared.

If Im caught in a area where the is no opportunities like that I would prolly be pulled up waiting before the cop even turned around, I did this while getting my last ticket coming back from Welly 4 months ago. Didnt win any favours mind

Yeah, sometimes it's just too easy, If there is a cushion of traffic between you & mr plod, & the next sideroad is only a couple of km or less away it's a bit of a no brainer. Or so my outlaw biker friends say anyway...
The old VFR was pretty nondescript tho, the KTM being a bit slower, big, loud(ish), bright orange & the only one of it's kind regularly ridden in these parts makes me a bit wary of such manuevers now.

Just don't take the first left.

Just don't take the first left.

Why not (purely out of intellectual curiosity)

Only once have I ever done a runner in NZ - and it was pretty much identical to your recent experience Quasi.

Not something I can see myself ever doing as a rule though. Well, at least until I get permanent residency here.

Coppers are trained to turn left as its an easy fast turn for the dude running to take,(think about riding on the road is left or right easier)? only applies if you are out of sight tho.

[Lou Girardin]

Why not (purely out of intellectual curiosity)

Because everyone takes the first left. Cops always check the left turns when the bike gets out of sight.

I'd probably go for a 'dash and hide' scenario if I could. If the cops are going the other way, you could reasonably say you didn't notice the flashing lights, drop into a side street and into a driveway behind a fence or something. If they find you, you 'must've got the wrong address' and 'didn't think you were flashing at me'.

Might work - might not. But hey...whatever. They couldn't prove beyond reasonable doubt that you saw them, or that you were running, could they?
