Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick). There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too. |

Apparently.....
The police helicopters(general i know, the ones used by GMP anyway) are only good for 154MPH. Thats the manufacturers spec as well, so they may well be slower, especially with all the kit.
There's hope of escape yet! But not if you ride a SV. |

Re: Apparently.....
Ah, but you seen the cameras these things have on them. Not exactly a Cannon Ixus now are they. So you get 2 mile ahead, they just zoom in on your reg, and come roudn your house
There is no escape |

Re: Apparently.....
Its not like there is only one policeman out there .. "you can't race the radio"!!
Also unless it is a true roman road, you will need to go round bends ... the 'copter can cut the corner |

Re: Apparently.....

The air passes in the tubes, through a windometer i think and works outs the knots calculating to Mph... I think thats what they were teaching the kids |
