They say that 3-putting in golf is like wanking. When you have done it you are absolutely disgusted with yourself, but you know youre going to do it again!

Woops, wrong thread.

Bad Cop
Ahhh, I well remember the day I was de-flowered by the law.
I was cruising up Paraparaumu straights, the sun was shining, the birds were tweeting and the cars in the fast lane were pulling away from me (for once).
All of a sudden I hear a loud siren and see flashing lights right behind me, as the cars in frount had been going faster I thought, thats odd he must just want me to move over to pursue them, but no, the light and sound show was especially for me!!!
So I pull over and his attitude was really superior and aloof.
Well, when he found out it was to be my 1st ticket (a pitiful amount over the limit, the exact amount escapes me now) a HUGE smile spread across his face as though he had just been told he had won the doughnut a day for life competition!
Why he was writing out my 1st ticket I looked over at his car and these thoughts went across my mind...hmmm, strip away those intimidating lights, siren and paint job and whats left? A wheezing puss bag cage! That idiot was the catalyst for my change in mode of operation that was to last a few years before I discovered the race track, thanks sport!

Good Cop.
I had just had the sale of my RZ500 confirmed (what was I thinking!!!) So as one does, I pulled a celebrationary goodbye wheelstand on it on a deserted road (yes, they existed pre-jap import cars!)
I then went a little further and pulled into the service station for gas.
After a while a cop pulled up befind me and said "what did you do that wheelstand for?"
So I told him the truth. He nods his head and says "I've got a FJ1100, so next time you go for a decent ride somewhere let me know" and off he went.
On ya mate!

What? you said you had been to court before and you had lost your licence??

Typical cop, arrive at a conclusion without assessing the full facts. In cages I've been busted, never on a bike.

now that is a nice story

The LTNZ letter was a pisstake. I am well aware of the bike and car license being one and the same in terms of punishment. If you'd researched on previous posts (going back a while) you'd see that I had a very misspent youth in fast cars, but I've onto gotten into bikes in only the last few years, and since then I've not been pulled on a bike, and only once in a car in that time too.

So to clarify, yes I've done plenty of runners in cars. The last one I think was probably 2002, maybe 2003? I usually had fast cars, but it's been done in 1.5 Civics, 2.0 auto Ascots and MX-5s. Ain't no one gonna call them fast. The one related to the driving disq mentioned was in 1993 or 4 (Sigma GSR-X), the one where I just got done for failing to stop was in 2000 I think (Mazda 323 GTX).

The delta unit, that was done in an MX-5. Can't call that fast, but it's quicker through twisty stuff than a Commodore wagon with a cage and a dog in the back. Like most chases, it lasted probably under a minute and relied on the fact that I had a head start.

In terms of likely success, there's a world of difference between doing it in a car vs doing in on a bike. But in terms of likelihood of attracting attention, there's a world of difference between how I drive a car these days and how I ride a bike.
