    I don't know why some choose to do a runner from the cops, the reasons will be varied, ie drunk, stoned, no licence, stolen bike, wanted criminal, etc, but if the Biker knocks over a kid while scarpering on your stolen motor cycle, then you would be all crying about " Where were the Ferkin Coppers", and wouldn't give a shit how the guy was stopped.
    Speeding on a back road in the country where there is absolutly no one around, well you take your chances, but speeding through a built up area, where your actions may injure or kill some one innocent of your actions, well I hope the book gets throwen at you.
    For us to speed or not to speed is a judgement call for each biker as an individual, its about taking RESPONSIBILTY for our ACTIONS, if we choose to Run or not, when we see the Cops Disco lights and Music on our tail, that is the Chioce of the individual biker, though if you choose to run there will be more than one reason to do so.
    The thing with on the spot judgement calls is we don't get them right every time, there are variables that we may not know of, and we have to take RESPONSIBILTY for getting our call wrong, that may be injuries or death of an inocent, or our selves.
    FFS you all know the rules to this game, you take your chances, dont cry about getting a ticket, or loosing your licence, you knew the game rules when you chose to speed, don't cry because you were doing 180 kmph whipped out and lost a leg or an arm, you made the bad judgement call.
    what is sad is when an innocent gets injured or killed because some MORON MUPPET couldn't understand the rules to the game.
    We know in our individual areas, where most of the Cops are patrolling, we all know of areas that it is just plain STUPID to speed in. work it out for your selves.

    Moral of the story, lost my balls for not gapping it and what a wasted opportunity.

    Hey, I don't condone running from the cops but given such a chance like me, you better, because you'll feel better for it when you get away!
    Here is something for you to ponder. Change the highlighted "when" into an "if"....... Two threads recently about this exact thing.... It is a big "if..."

    Must have missed that part in the story. He was doing a fine job of it himself....

    Perhaps he was so busy looking at the pretty flashing lights parked at the side of the road and he simply ran into them, on his own doing? (You know, like the dead possum on the road type of thing... look at it, you hit it...??)
