    Palmy runner from Mr Police.

    Front of todays paper shows a Blue and white Jap motorbike got away from the police recording speeds of up to 190km/hr. Quite an entertaining story as they also say that if the rider had thrown it away he almost certainly would have killed himself. (paraphased)

    It also goes on to say that it was fortunate that the traffic was light and the rider stayed on the backroads and away from urban areas. I would think this bit was planned.

    So who was test riding a GSXR1000 yesterday morning around the manawatu?

    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Could it have been a Yamaha R6 or R1 ?
