    140kmh in a 50kmh zone?

    Anyone know this biker fleeing Police today http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crim...-140kmh-police

    I saw this bike on Highway 58 over the holidays - no obvious signs of a number plate when in front of me so a bit of a racer on the road going to the cops.
    Cheers

    Merv

    Senior Sergeant Steve Harwood said the motorcyclist fled police after he or she was signalled to stop near Porirua.

    Staff have cordons in place in Wainuiomata as they search for the man.
    LOL, it could be a girl 'ya know! Sounds like a change of colour in his/her fairings and leathers is in order....? Alpinestars by the looks, nice.

    Me thinks someone has something to say about the GN? Or is that just what traffic is like up there? Rush hour here means an extra 10 whole minutes in the car!

    Back the the OP, I think a quick riding gear change and a call to the insurance company and the cops to report a 'stolen' bike, I think! (And hope there are no incriminating pics of you in your old gear!

    Technology is really making the quick dash from the coppers hard. Has he taken his number plate off? They got a good pic of him side on, so I would assume they grabbed that from some footage?

    definately a track bike I'd say
    seems like he must know how to ride it a little too.
    Just because it was a 50km/hr zone doesn't necessarily mean it was overly dangerous! It might have been a very open road with no traffic and no pedestrians! But yes still against the law!
    A speeding bike at 140km/hr is nowhere near as dangerous as a car weighing 7 times more doing 50km/hr! The car still has double the energy and a far larger frontal footprint (read as more likely to hit something!)

    Hey! don't ruin a good 'darn those bikies' news -whine- (oops, I mean story).

    Yeah, context is important, but at the same time perhaps the track would have been a better place for doing that?

    Nah, it is the roundabout at the bottom of the Wainui hill, not that hard to cut very close. Still a dick though

    Naaa .. I reckon it's a chick ... a hint of longish hair under the helmet and just the general body shape and position ...

    A chick with bigger balls than most riders ... more power to her ..
