Here's a question - how fast are cops allowed to drive?

[Lou Girardin]

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,

That confirms what we all knew anyway. Called off the pursuit eh, just like they did in Whangarei.

How do you reconcile assaulting a fellow biker, with your own riding escapades?

[onearmedbandit]

It was VTR1000, could've waited 5 more minutes and it would've run out of gas anyway.

Oh thats a simple one to answer mate, one he was riding at hugely excessive speed, and as far as we knew he could have just completed a rape a robbery, a murder fuck knows?
Do you think I was going to give him any chance to assault me? nope he was going to go down hard and as fast as possible to prevent any injury to myself or my mate, he could have pulled a gun, a knive. I arrived as he was stepping of his bike he didnt even get both feet on the ground before he was taken down. He wasnt a fellow biker he was as far as I was concerned a criminal with intent yet to be discovered.

you were joking right Mr Lou?

Lucky he wasnt riding a Ducati, it would have been 2 minutes

94 k's in a 70?

[Quasievil]

Thats right, he had an option to stop and say "err sorry about that" and as we where both bikers we might have sadi slow down and take it easy, but no he did a runner didnt he, we estimated his speed at times to be over 200kmph, so basically his choice was a bad one eh? but none the less his choice and his alone

[Finn]

Hang on. Are you a pig Quasi?

[Quasievil]

No, ten whatevers

OK, his choice then.
Perhaps he was running out of demerits, that's the most common reason to run.
Did he resist arrest or attempt to run away?
Does he know he was assaulted by a member of the public?
Because he just might now.
BTW what were all the evils he was convicted of, all traffic or were they real crimes?

Is your man-husband a pig?

He owed lots in un paid fines and had a warrant out for his arrest for another matter.
He wasnt assaulted by a member of the public. he was however apprehended.
I actually dont care if he was a biker or not really, some people do dum things and must realise when doing so there will be a result which may not be to their liking eh?
anyway those days are behind me, dont hang out with the boys in blue any more, on to other things.

[spudchucka]

It took you 3 1/2 hours to look that up?

I was busy looking up a decent bike shop on the net that has some sharp deals on boots.

What concerns me is that you knew what it meant without having to look it up.

Some ballsy calls there Quasi.

Good shit!!!

Amazing how many think because I ride a bike I should automatically be favourable to ALL bike riders. WTF????

They run - I chase - they crash - doesn't hurt me, ah life is so simple, they made a bad choice, (piss is SO unflattering on riding abilities)!!.

They don't run, are reasonable in their attitude and behaviour then I just might be the same with them.

[Quasievil]

Thanks for the bad rep SIXPACKBACK, quote
"Nioce move bringin down a fellow biker, of course you never speed...scummy move!""

I guess your in capable of reason and you think that any biker should be able to get away with anything simply because they know how to ride a bike, well mate there a plenty of bikers I wouldnt give the time of day to as there are even Kiwibikers I wouldnt give the time of day to, yourself for example.
I speed all the time, but I dont involve the police in 40 km speed chases at speeds over 200 kmph with road blocks and I certainly dont do it on state highway one. Like I said he could have been running for any reason and once he stopped it wasnt going to be pleasantries on the side of the road from us and as far as we were concerned it wasnt going to be from him either.
Prior chase in Huntly a guy got out and started swinging a Wheel Brace smashing the windscreen of the patrol car, he was stopped for speeding, maybe we should have let him go for it cause he may have had a bike in his shed at home?
One day Sixpackback you might like to wake up and smell the scent of reality in life buddy, in the meantime start the process of growing up.

Age brings wisdom. (and a capacity for trivia)
