running from the police
 

i was sitting in my dorm room i live on the 7th floor so i can see for a ways and i hear a bike running threw the gear hard and police sirens so me and my friend get on the scanner and listen there are 4 cars i saw chasing him and a lot more on the way i was hoping he would get away but we saw a ambulance head to the scene and them say that he didn't have insurance. I was disappointed i thought motorcycles were unstoppable i guess it makes me think off all the times i have ran and gotten away. In the us it is called felony evasion which basically means you get f*** up the @$$ if you get caught i was always told if you run you better get away. i am just so disappointed a bike was caught

Not many bikes faster than a radio:confused:

Re: running from the police
 

whats the point?

once they get your plate, they know where you live.

Re: running from the police
 

That for the rider that didn't get away, the content of the first post in this thread, or both?

If it's the latter then I agree with you :toss:

Re: running from the police
 

Unless it's stolen.

Wot he said!

Running from the police is never a bright idea, but yes, if you are going to try it, make sure it works. As for a bike being unstoppable, all they need to do is get a helicopter, and wait for you to run out of fuel or crash. Game over.

Re: running from the police
 

What if you ride into Kent? They don't have a helicopter...

Or into a multi story car park? Or into a long tunnel?

Or through a long tunnel into a multi in Kent?

I'll fetch my coat.

Would have to be a pretty long chase to get from America to Kent.

Re: running from the police
 

Hell of a lot more chance of dying running on a bike too!

Re: running from the police
 

When I got banned for speeding on the M6? coming home from Bristol (150 mile trip) I hit traffic and slowed down then a few moments later a police 4x4 comes flying up behind.

I pull over a lane, he follows...huh? pull over one more...he follows...AHHH CRAP!

Apparently they were just about to give up trying to catch me and send someone to my house instead (As I got into their car I heard my name and address come over the radio where they were getting the plate check back)

Gutted as I wasn't being stupid just enjoying a nearly empty motorway on a hot day and trying to get a very long trip over with but kind of glad that they did catch me in the end otherwise it would of got a bit ugly.

Hmm running from the plod.

Where is GYKD these days?

Re: running from the police
 

Must've been GYKD up to his old tricks again:p

Hey Joe, are you still snooping?????????

Re: running from the police
 

Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand? :p

Re: running from the police
 

:smt082 What was the outcome?

Remember reading in the PB mag last season about their exploits on the cannonball run riding a new Kawasaki big fast thing. They ran quite a bit in Europe - dodgy fellows. This month they have a write up on lap timers and beating personal times on the road etc... was a rubbish read though as they seem to have run out of decent subjects - but normally enjoy reading their travel stories and articles.

GF's brother tried to do a runner after being told to stop...

He had a GSXR750 (early 90's) and tried to get away. 4 cars chasing. h got away, hid in a pub for an hour, got back on the bike and went to go home.

They were still looking for him though :lol: Caught up and told him "stop or be rammed off" He stopped... Made him sit on the floor, hands on his head etc..

Found out that there had been a major robbery and they thought he was one of the robbers trying to escape (on the way out of maidstone). Talk about wrong place at the wrong time :lol:

When asked why he didn't stop, "i just wanted to get home" :lol:

He's a plonk anyway. He lost his bike license because of that.

You may be able to get away in other countries, but over here, the chances are you will get caught.

Re: running from the police
 

My younger brother in his bad boys days did a runner from them. At one point he drove through a set of bollards that plod bottled at. No damage to his car yet there was thin orange paint smear on each bollard. so he must have been exactly the right width and perfect positioning.

Trouble was once the helicopter made its presence known. He simply pulled up and waited for them. They were impressed at the way he managed to run 2 blocks. At one he approached it that fast that they pulled the cars out of the way. he described it as the best game of chicken he ever played.

OK he was a very naughty boy. And I do not condone what he and his mates did in order to attract the attention of the boys in blue. But he learnt a lesson. The village bobbies in their noddy cars cannot drive. It is no wonder that bad boys are tempted to do runners.


BTW he was suitably punished for his crimes. But not a word about his driving. Still he had a year to think about things;)

Re: running from the police
 

people run for the most stupid reasons, a rider (with pillion) decided to go for it on Sunday in Standish near Wigan. Three traffic cars and one Helicopter had a bit of a chse for the next 35 minutes or so, the heli just monitring, the cars staying almost out of sight unitl he parked it up at home, looked up and then nearly s**t himself when he saw the bird, followed by the cops walking into his garage.
His reason? He thought he was speeding and already had enough points to get a ban with another ticket. Now, he will get an enormous ban, fine and have to take a lengthly re-test.

Re: running from the police
 

Ouch, that one was nasty!

Re: running from the police
 

:) i found out that the radio calls that were mad was about a car wreck in the area and that he did get away so it made my day really good to know that bikes are unstoppable :):):)

Re: running from the police
 

Unfortunately...

Re: running from the police
 

hendrix ;)

Re: running from the police
 

i have it on good authority, that at least in the manchester area, if you remove your helmet and pursuit stops immediately. of course as well as having your plate they then know what you look like as well.

cant see the point in running, once theyve got your plate your toast, and if the whirllything is in the air your burnt toast.

unless you go on the run in the costa till the bobbies retire...............

Re: running from the police
 

Here keith, have a mint, you need to clear that throat.

Re: running from the police
 

Brave or stupid?

I know which i think you are. And i kinda suspect you think you're the other.
Still your life, your choice. :roll:

Re: running from the police
 

Hehehehehe! :smt082

Re: running from the police
 

Sure. It would be fun to play cops and robbers, who here has never imagined what it would be like to be a getaway driver, or wondered if with enough planning you could get from point A to point B with the cops all over you , but you're a tit if you actually do it for real.

In the UK once you realise they're chasing you you're already caught (one way or the other). Only car/bike thieves and serious criminals run.

Re: running from the police
 

And fools!

Re: running from the police
 

No, no spidey. Not run.

A wise man said
only fools rush in

Sorry, I'm confused... isn't this the reason that games consoles were invented? (GTA series, Driver etc etc)

Re: running from the police
