Talking of which, i saw this INCREDIBLY SHINY AND SPARKLY scooter yesterday.... it just glowed all down the length of manchester street....OMG....

Almost as shiny as something Dangerous would own

So many men so many opinions, as the saying goes!

What a boring shit of a world it would be if we all made the same decisions, went the same way, bought the same bike!
Fight or flight! He chose flight.

BUMMER! Such sweetness is the freedom to choose.

Cheers John.

Late model Harleys go well, handle quite nicely and are pretty reliable. I KNOW - I've ridden every model in the range. So don't be a dick and say 'Harleys are....' UNTIL you've at least ridden one.

Bling for that. Both you and scummy.

All I can say is.. Being brought up around harleys and HARLEY riders WHOOP-D I've never heard so much bashing of motorbikes. Seems to come from one direction in general..

His boss was riding with him? What... getting chased to? Does that mean the boss of his chapter...? Musta had an outstanding warrant or summat..?

Even though the guy went down and that's not good, I hope all the guys who are constantly saying on here "Yeah I'd do a runner. F*ck the cops" see that and learn something (fat chance) Hmmmm two cops in a car... one drives the other writes down your license plate number - Nah they'll have no idea who you are.

Any motorcycle is a good motorcycle in my opinion, so long as it runs okay.

As for the Motorway patrol thingy, yeah I saw that, the scooter guy was obviously one of the many idiot riders in Auckland.

yeah thats it, tar us all with the same brush.[harley riders that is]fuck sake ,was any one there to see what actually happened?didnt think so...had a copper try to take me out last week,left hamilton just after dark,clear road,2 seconds later this arse hole muftis 6 inches from me back gaurd before he hits the dash lights,thought it was the local monkey mob out for some sport...twas just a silverback in a uniform quote"keeping an eye on the white trash"unquote...wonder how the local rag would have slanted a different out come...

NOW REMEMBER KIDS

YOU'RE ONLY AN IDIOT IF YOU RIDE A HARLEY.

bahahahaha

Sorry but on a serious note. If it hadn't of been mentioned that he was on a HD, I'm thinking that much different things would have been said.

75K and still can't get around a corner (gentle one at that...80kph, are they serious)?? :-)

Hell no, none of them are worth dying over. And no comments were aimed at anyone in particular in this case, I'm just making the point that there could have been more to this than a faulty tail light.

Bearing in mind that I don't neccesarily have the full facts, and making a judgement on that basis. I personally think he was a dumb shit for doing a runner and his boss is a dumb shit to be whinging about the cops following too close. If he had just pulled over none of this would have happened. His fault, no one else's. On the positive side, he's trying to do his bit for the gene pool by getting out.

Maybe it was the six jugs of bourbon and two big cones he'd had??

He prolly would not have known it was just a pullover for a taillight though. Just seen the lights and paniced. As someone said, maybe had other reasons for not wanting to talk to Mr Plod. His call, sorry for him that it went pear shaped, but thems the cahnces you take.I wondered what the ruddy chopper was doing going back and forth over Mr Wellington (suburb, not mountain) last night.

i think the issue is that he was on a $75k bike (who cares what it is) and tried to do a runner, failing miserably, making himself look right a right plonker in the process
