    Sometimes you win - some times you lose...

    Young guy on Aprilia heading south today decided not to stop, had centrelined, passed on blind bends, speeds in excess 150kph etc, public complaints about this.

    Saw one Police car and guess he'd be stopped so upped the speed and less-than-safe overtaking style, saw a second Police car a few km further on waiting for him so carried on even faster.

    Got to the top of a rise at the end of a straight where the road went right.

    He didn't

    He got a helicopter ride to Dunedin hospital.

    His bike ain't so flash neither.

    Oh well, scared into crashing by a cop chick, gotta be good for a pub story when he get out of hospital.

    Maybe then he'll also get a motorbike licence.

    Epic fail.

    Sad weekend for him eh!.

    But not for me, after the chopper was gone and the bent Aprilia picked up I had a bourbon or two while mulling over Mr Aprilia riders stupidity then went home.

    The only way to stop the police provoking dangerous chases like this, endangering the public not to mention putting a motorist in hospital, and not forgetting playing a part in the destruction of someones personal property, is to remove the police from our roads.

    I agree, and furthermore, were it legal to consume an average quantity of alcohol to start with, the copette may have been attractive enough to stop for!

    Hell, he was riding like a twat BEFORE he even saw the first Police car!

    (Hence why he came to notice as mentioned in first post)

    Nah, Army types chased us away from where we wanted to watch - the meanies!, reckoned we were in danger! (And they might have been right!)

    But we were close enough behind that digger seen on the news, rattled me fillings it did.

    150km/h?

    That's not even 100mph.

    Not exactly running fast..
    It's only when you take the piss out of a partially shaved wookie with an overactive 'me' gene and stapled on piss flaps that it becomes a problem.

    That's nothing to do with his speed.. just his incompetence!

    Maybe, just maybe, he had seen a cop car earlier in the day. Or week. Maybe in the last 12mths. It doesn't really matter.

    C'mon, this IS KB, they're all Rossis on here, incompetence is not part of their act.....

    So I doubt it applies to him either eh?

    I have a thought as to who this might be, not someone off KB that I know off.
    Its not the destination that is important its the journey.
