Who's the tosser running from the cops on TV3? (10 November)

[Harry33]

Shit how many cop cars does it take to get him. I wonder how many other people ended up waiting for the police to turn up for other things that day.

Thanks for that rufusdion, I missed it on the news. I agree Harry, a hell of a lot of cars for one bike and its not as tho their trying to head him off at the pass as their all way behind. Perhaps they were heading for another job and got sidetracked? Would the 1st one be the dog wagon?

Nah. Its a decent camera, on a solid tripod (its not moving all over the place).
In the background at points you can hear a police radio. - Sounds like a 3news van was nearby and got his camera out just in the nick of time.

Yeah, ya probabaly right, just watched it again with the sound up. The dude on the bike could have stopped and had a Latte' before that other lot following caught up.....i dont they gave it up, i think they lost him....!

Looks like a trailer for The Bourne Ultimatum...

Well you guys/girls are full of shit. One minute wanting sympathy for a bikers death, the next thinking its great some prat makes an arsehole of themselve on nationwide tv. What a bloody joke. Dont you realise it takes years to build a good PR and seconds to stuff it up completely and lose all sympathy.

Gee that must be the same with the missus and her brownie points theory. Take months to emass but seconds to strike down.

Failing to stop for the cops is bad, mm kay?

Still, I bet that was the highlight of the day for the officers involved, getting to burn gas and rubber like that while on duty. I wonder if the chasing is as exciting as the running away?

And what a naughty man that fugitive was on his green TLS (if it was, in fact, his). He should be summarily shot, just like the Aramoana chappie. We Don't Need Him Here (tm).

here is the video footage of the high speed pursuit yesterday.
Doing runners is bad, but in a built up area with lots of traffic? - man he is keen.

I'm curious Mark, just when did you become an expert on other peoples riding ability or pace from a 20 second video clip?

Alot of people tell me recently that you're trying to change peoples perception of you but you're posting the same old "I'm the man, I know everything" crap. Give it a rest mate.

For my two cents worth, can't condone the runner in traffic or any of that shit but from the 20 seconds I saw, looked the guy was well in control of the bike.

His body language on the bike looked pretty relaxed to me.

And, like Keith Code says, anyone who's on a bike and managing to ride it without falling off is already doing a lot of things right.

Once you're generally considered to be out of the even-odds dead pool, maybe you'll have some sort of moral authority to start talking about whether people can "ride for shit", but you should probably shut the fuck up until then.

Seen the clip, as far as I can tell hes riding around a bend passing cars..cant tell if hes a good or bad rider. But I spose if the God him self, the great "Skid Mark" says its bad riding, it must be. Mind you, he may have been riding that speed to make it around the bend with out dieing...

All hail king Skid Mark, he is the man.

do you need a tissue for your chin?? cause your talking shit again i bet your bike struggles to do that sort af speed unlike the TL

[kneescraper]

RCTL, that is one of the best posts Ive read the whole weekend....green rep for you buddy.

And that came right out of the left field...

Hey, there's a reason my online handle isn't 'jpredictable', although some of my friends do call me 'jchickenstrips'.

Is that anything like jbeefcurtains?

I'm just amused at how this thread's turned into a KB pissing contest.

"I'm the man - NO I'M THE MAN"
"You're all fags, now we're not, yes you are blah blah blah".

I hope the guy doing thre runner got nicked for it personally. Anyone doing anything threatening to me and mine...
