Was going quick, and the cops wern't mucking around either.

EDIT: that was no Lifan Delta!!

I wonder if the cops have fiqured out it may not have been a Lifan? They may now be checking on KB owners of TL1000

come on, own up. Who the kber who had his Lifan plate nicked??

**EJK** · 23rd November 2009, 21:24

A LiFAN??? WTF????

**smoky** · 23rd November 2009, 21:37

Which way did they go..........?

The local Palmy cop;

Either it is a Lifan, if the speed was only 100kph. Because if it was a TL1000, then it would reach 200kph in a few seconds, and the cops as usual were bullshitting about how far they took the chase before the bike lost them, and they claimed that they abandoned pursuit for safety issues.

That part could be true as the parts of Lifan flying back at the car would have posed a srious risk to them and the public.

I spoke to a guy last night that witnessed some of it. Definitely no Lifan, definitely faster than 100kph and riding two-up.

Aaaah ha, I see a means of overcoming the perils of bike theft when I visit the North.

I shall paint my Tiger to resemble a Lifan and cover it with the appropriate decals so that thieves think it is a real Lifan!

Then I shall just leave it laying about with keys in it and it will never get stolen!

So many great ideas can be attributed to their birth on this forum, it is truely amazing!

PS: Er what will I do about all the Lifan's that get left parked beside it?

Ah Rifan, made from the highest quarity materials in China (said in an Asian accent).

The cops didn't stand a chance.

Would this also work by painting a WRX to look like a Skoda?
