This is why we can't have nice things

"Trying to outrun police on a very fast machine. He failed. He realises that now."

I'm not sure if this is a sign of poor journalism these days or whether it took the rider some time to realise he had failed to outrun the police.

The latter, some time ago, I got a call from a couple of very quick riders who had stopped after about 15 kms of 'out classing' a black Holden. When the car finally turned up, unfortunately it was a cops. Cop was reasonable about it and allowed them ride their bikes to our house which was about 25kms away, where they arrange to get the bikes back to their home in a non riding fashion.

You wanna bet?

I know it probably happens, but it's talked about more than acted upon. My wife has had her left foot come into connect with a vehicle before today, it was stationary at a set of lights and it hurt a bit.

I'd be more worried about them getting my plate and reporting me to the police - easier just to rant on here haha.

That guy did outrun them but he went back to his sisters place which is roughly where the chase started, so the neighbor snitched on him. pretty stupid really, never return to the scene of the crime, I would have gone for a ride to a cafe out of town and waited an hour or two.

Not when the idiot is asleep.....

And I have done it 3 times already. Once the guy pulled out right in front of me without indication or looking and then proceeded to travel at 35 in a 50km zone. He got a good waking up when came around to his drivers side and gave a gentle tap on his door with my steelcap.

Another time a chick as sitting at the lights and texting. Light went green, she still didn't move, passed her and tapped her door. She dropped her phone

Letting go with an ultra loud scream while doing this can see the phone flying throught the air.


Apparently.

In the 80s they used to have pushbike horns that played what ever sound you recorded at about 90db when you pressed the button.
Looked a lot like this: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Auto-...308.4.1.SkDoAd
My brother had one, as did many young boys in Rotorua in the mid to late 80s.
I am not sure who exactly but I recall someone recording a bloodcurdling scream on one and playing it back when ever they approached an open car window and the driver was smoking, eating, or otherwise distracted from moving forward at lights stop signs etc.

Almost everyone dropped whatever they had in their lap (I was told of a few people dropping cigarettes) but a few things were cast out the open windows.

IIRC my brothers one got confiscated after he played a siren noise at a car for some reason... either the car was a an unmarked car or cop saw him do it.

Familiar story from my Rotorua days (late 70's) a mate got hold of a hand turned fire siren and we thought it a good, no fricken awesome idea, to drive around the city and parts thereof, using our newly acquired piece of equipment out an open window. Right behind another car got the best reaction.

Lol. If we are talking 4 wheeled a mate fitted a small compressor and tank to his boot and a foot operated valve on the floor.
This was connected to the scavenged horns from a locomotive hidden under the body of his Hillman Hunter.
First time I heard that from behind me I very nearly "evacuated".

Goddbye Pork Pie had a very similar scene.

i have no awesome story of y own here.
...But my brothers mate acquired a foghorn (like, fucken, ship and lighthouse grade foghorn) and had it in the back seat, it took up about half of it, it was wired to the alarm. He never bothered locking it, or winding the windows up.

Given the timing very possibly life imitating art.
