if only....

seriously, if a cop chases you on open road you'd have to be pretty damn fast to do anything about it. they have radios, helicopters and buddies, your bike will run out of gas long before they will, and i hear they're good up to 240kph. really, unless you've got enough traffic for them not to bother, you might as well admit you're an idiot and give up before you get yourself killed

it kinda sounds plausible, i guess.... i would say what i'd do (if i didn't pull over, that is), but that would ruin my secret wouldn't it

Never done it, I think you are mistaking the chaser for the chasee here.

Always carried on for a bit and then slowly retraced my route - lots of the time the 'chasee' suddenly comes out of a side street (mainly on my left - remember I'm heading back) and starts heading back the way they came - although once they came out straight of the side street and came towards me looking over his shoulder.

Mmm. of course it wont work if there is only a right hand turn, but given a choice the cop will turn left.

He didn't say they pull ME over without a reason, they always have a reason the way you ride eh Mark? Hehehehehe

Why run? I only get pulled for speeding or splitting and more than half the time just get a warning. I agree with the change in the way the police seem to be hiring, in my mind the new cops might be less than ideal but then my cousin and a friend of a friend are two of them. My cousin would bake the perfect nice but no bullshit common sense cop and the other guy is a fricken' dropkick who'll probably get done trying to swap a speeding ticket for a handjob. In saying that I ride everyday on the NW'ern at the sametime and see the same cops all the time. I'm very time efficiant in getting to work if you know what I mean and split almost all the time, like 80-90% of the trip and have been pulled maybe 4 times in the last 2-3 years. I guess it's a time and a place thing, they can tell if your in control. There is one cop that waves most of the time and gives me the "slow down" gesture sometimes but doesn't pull me over. Have talked to him in the past and didn't give him shit or whatever.

similar story here, but i deliberately time my commutes to/from uni to work to avoid the traffic. it's more a safety decision, but means i only spend 20minutes each way (only half of that would be on the motorway) rather than 30 and studying for an extra couple of hours until the traffic eases off never hurt anyone
