200kph m/c chase Muriwai to Westgate

[scumdog]

Mwhahaah, wannabes the lot of you, you'ld never make the grade down here - the north deserves you....bad luck for the north.

[BarBender]

I notice that a lot of those posting comments about the 'advantages' of living up north have never experienced the 'negatives' of living in the deep south.

WTF?
This black motherfarker shagged a girl from Winton.
Now shaddup you old fool and go get everyone a round of drinks....

[cowpoos]

I'm from the village people...

Fuckup, a South Suffolk from Winton does not constitute a 'girl'.

And you still ain't living down here you poor bastid..

Just goes to show what the girls down south look like then.
Good luck SD - you can have the baa baa whooly assed motherfarkers!

So what's the penalty for doing a runner? Since breach of licence (or no licence) is $400 and 25 demerits maybe the gamble is worthwhile....

THE PENALTY:
Failing to stop for red and blue lights (didn't even know he was there), loss of liscence for 3 months and $400 fine.

The second time "Intentinally" pulling a runner at over 220kmh and getting caught down a one way dead end road = 6 months loss of liscence and another $400 fine.

The third time, whilst having no liscence and doing a runner at over 220kmh then being rammed by a pigz = an extra 6 months and 60 hours community service.

Overtaking by pulling a 1 footed wheelie past a patrol car whilst waving a bottle of Absynth in the air with your left hand = Priceless

[EZAS]

Are there any motorways in the Sth Island?

NO.. just nice people, minding there own business. Grateful teh rest of the world leaves them alone.

shame it didn't stop Skummy looking over the fence

[Indiana_Jones]

Perhaps he had his MP3 player on and was listening to "danger zone", and didn't notice the 3 cops and bird behind him? lol

Ain't that the truth!!

Mr boomer said a mouthful there - most down here just accept what we have, a few nosey pricks like me look north and think 'fark, people live under those conditions"? and like it??

But we always welcome visitors, sarcastic or not (try and find one that has stayed at Chez Scumdog and thought they got shafted) and appreciate what living up north must be like.

Yes, we like being left in the slow, behind time red-neck world. (most of the times) but the pace of life suits..

Let's just assume the cops didn't chase him. Do you think he would have ridden so hard through that town? I think the fact that the cops chased him did not help the situation one bit. They were after their kilo of flesh. By the sounds of it they should have backed off long before the town and just let him go (but the damage would already have been done, his adrenaline would have been switched to "supercharge").

Had they not pulled him up at all there probably would have been no problem AT ALL. If chases are what society asks for then high danger in your streets is what you'll get. It is ridiculous that Police should be wasting our time and money creating dangers by vilifying people for deviations from the normal with the threat of taking peoples licences, vehicles and every last cent. Of course some people would rather run and try their luck given the cost/ alternative.

No, it wasn't me, I was in another country. No, I don't have any idea what the inital crime was.

I see your point of view, but your alternate reality is not one that I would like to live in.

You think that police should not be able to chase people? Without the threat and deterrant of being pursued or prosecuted for your demeanours, you'd have people like SM travelling through your local neighbourhood at 200+km/h on a daily basis. Some people are not hard wired to have any regard for their surrounding humans, and need a threat with a personal result to instill any sort of public road discipline into them.

For every person that is willing to try their luck, there's probably at least a 1000 that aren't. Without the police being able to enforce any laws I'd be pretty afraid to take to the streets in your utopia!

[Swoop]

Shit - do I look blue and Scottish with my bike kit on?

Perhaps they do not see too many bikers wearing a kilt? Possible giveaway?

No, I don't have any idea what the inital crime was.

I wondered if they had been pulled over to be given their "safety vest giveaway pack"?

Perhaps he had his MP3 player on...

Get with the plot Indy. They do not have "MP3 players" down that way. Banjo players... perhaps. The technological revolution has just allowed them to progress from records to casette tape decks!

[mitchilin]

ok - who was it? About 3:30pm Saturday, 1 high speed bike Southbound through Kumeu followed by
1) Police Car
2) Police Car
3) Mufti Car
4) Eagle

Heading into Kumeu you/they were doing 150kph... repoted speeds of up to 200kph in the chase. The runner was stopped and apprehended in Wetgate apparently (according to Teletext)

I saw the high speed proecession from across the sports field, but know nothing more. I can't find setails of it on here, or on Harold's website.

Anyone got the details?

Wasn't this on ANZAC day,not saturday.

[McJim]

Who cares? This thread long ago degenerated into a North versus South (and why there are so many pomes in the North and so many Scots in the South).

I considered moving South but:

a/ No jobs
b/ Scumdog lives there and I couldn't afford the fines for driving offences.
