    Like the two cops that collided at the intersection of St Lukes Rd and Sandringham Rd a couple of years ago -going to the same incident

    It's always a laugh when cops crash.

    When I find out why I'll let y'all know (unless it me!!)

    Schadenfreude is why.

    I'm shocked Lou, I always knew you were cynical but "pleasure taken from someone else's misfortune"? Thats bordering on sadistic.

    Well its a long story but here ya go.

    Heading into Huntly northbound me and mate noticed 3 headlights coming at speed from behind us, we accelerated hard and got into a position to turn around and capture them under radar, got the bike at 94km/h in a 70kmph, nothing major but we wanted a chat, we pulled alongside the car and prompted them to pull over, they did , then came up behing the bike with our lights on, the bike took off, we clocked him at 140kmph on the main street of Huntly (shop area) in pursuit we radioed ahead to another car to set up a roving block at ohinewai, the bike came up to the other patrol car (placed in the middle of the road with lights on) and predicatibly went around it and continued at speed. We radioed Papakura who started heading south and the Eagle also got involved. we hit huge speeds and constantly had the bike in view however he was disapearing on the straights but we caught him on the corners as we knew the road he didnt.
    Comms in the meantime called the pursuit of (which means turn lights off and keep going) we approached the meremere area and the rider almost crashed, he went around two more corners and pulled over, I jumped out of the car and grabbed him by the helmet and took him down, he was promptly cuffed and trans[ported back to Huntly where he spent a night in the cells in Hamilton. he was later convicted of all soughts of shit and lost his bike.

    thats about it really.
    Hope ya enjoyed the story, now know doubt you will all pick the shite out of it, but thats fine
