Last night's runner... (19 March)

**Swoop** · 20th March 2007, 08:06

Had a good chuckle, listening to the cat and mouse tactics going on in West Auckland last night.

Bike with multiple cop cars racing around. Several "pauses" in the entertainment when the bike was in hiding... then off again!
Glad to hear it all end happily (for the biker, of course!)...

Not down here.

Bike impounded
Failing to stop for red&blue flashing lights
Dangerous driving
No motorbike licence
Doing 155kmh in a 100kmp area
Doing 112 in a 50 kmh area
Attempting to pervert the course of justice
Failing to indicate
And riding a Honda

Not the first time this guy has done a runner - but the old work addage holds true "why worry about it, he'll come again"

Now he pays.

It was NW motorway plus Te At South... He seemed to lead the chase south for quite a while!

Headhunters on a sportbike???

"YAY he's riding a bike - yay he got away!!!!"

"Oh hang on... the bike was stolen/he killed someone doing a runner/he was pissed as a newt/he's a con on the run... etc"

hmmm suddenly giving him support doesn't look like such a sensible thing...

Just because someone's on bike doesn't mean they deserve unconditional support of other bikers. And anyone vs. the Police is a similarly pathetic argument.

As always MDU, the voice of reason...
Well put hun!

But what if he was just your average biker trying to avoid an traffic violation?

And vice versa mate. Just cause the cops are chasing doesn't mean he's a criminal.

"Average" bikers don't do that sort of shit... they take their medicine. A small ticket blown out to a court hearing... good move, loser.

I presume they have his reg and will pay a visit soon?

Perhaps he went through a red light, something that pisses off the masses on here in KB land...
