LOL, madboy you completely forgot the best bit about how after all that.. jessica simpson would be sudsing up the ghostridermobile while you sip on a well deserved coldy.

Didn't see anything in the post about baiting the cops first ? Changed your MO ?

Therein lies the problem with some folk on here, they miss the point. One out of how many, and it proves your point? Guess that makes all Maori's dole bludgers, all white folks racist, all germans are responsible for the holocaust, and as for those towelheads...

What is the point ?

Bollocks about having the 'bottle' to do a runner ? - oh you da man alright.

Keep talking it up.

Keep on thinking I'm the only one too if it makes you feel better.

In the words of The Castle; "Tell 'im he's dreamin"

The slack-jawed playstation set would do a runner regardless - why do you think they try it in a 1983 323 Mazda? because they can 'out-horsepower' and 'outdrive the 05?
No, it's just cause they've seen too many DVDs and played to much PS2 to cope with the REAL world (you know, the one where people have to work, the one where people REALLY die -can't press RESET and have another go)
and they certainly have no concept of consequences.
RANT over here too.

Now im in no posistion to preach, however i can agree with your point of view. After the 3am trip to intensive care to see my little brother after his sober driver decided to do a runner in a '86 honda civic late last year. Working in a hospital really opened my eyes about the subject.

But on the other hand. If you are riding at 90% while doing a runner, Are you really more likely to crash or injure an innosant bystander than riding at 90% with no officers of the law behind you.

If you are riding along at 150, then a cop spins around and starts chacing you, still riding at 150, have you increased the chances of hurting anyone?

I DO NOT CONDONE RUNNERS! Just another point of view

Hahahaha - what??

If you're still doing a runner at 150 I'm assuming the cop was on foot patrol.

theroetical numbers, im not speaking from experiance like some of the heros on this site

I once did a runner from the pigs back in Scotland.

I was pissed as a fart and on foot, and they still didn't catch me!

Shame I lived on a bumhole little island where everyone is related and everyone knew who I was.

Isn't the point of a runner to run away - preferably as quickly as possible.

I don't have much experience doing runners on a bike. But I'm a champion at playing cops and robbers from primary school - I believe similar principles apply

[The_Dover]

Cops and robbers or cowboys and injuns?

[Smorg]

What a piece of shit post..........Your a true rebel

[Kornholio]

Lol.. Fly like the wind little running fart .

[Paul in NZ]

I got away with an accidental runner once!

I was running away from some bikies during the ChCh 70's biker wars when a Traffic Dude leapt in front of me in the classic 'Halt' pose... He didn't look like he was big enough to stop me getting a beating so i kept going!

I was scared shitless. Now I have 2 gangs after me was all i could think of!

Another 2 cents worth:

1: I outran the cops....... on my 250........ 3 times.
How?
First: heavy traffic == good.
Second: No traffic == good.
Third: Angles, timing. you're not outrunning a car/bike/plane/helicopter you are outrunning a person. Better to just outsmart them

Great post by the way Nice to be informed.

And just to finish up with my second cent:
Straight from a coppers mouth: "If you want to lose the pigs, go the wrong way up the motorway". 80% chance you'll stop yourself that way but at least they don't chase ya! Lol.

But yes, don't get the piggies mad in the first place. A much better option <---- looks like lecturer.
