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:

whats the point?

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

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:

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.

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.

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

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.
