(dmrowe @ May 20 2007,19:10) Did it once in 1968, one trip to jail and the accompanying consequences taught me that 99% of the stories you hear about people running from the cops and beating them is BS.  You can't outrun a police radio and you damn sure aren't going to outrun a helicopter.
have to disagree here. Ive outran the helicopter too.... but my bike is a lil more than stock... and i have light kill switches. the radio is the one you cant outrun.

If you are running at night with kill switches for your brake/tail light you might have done it. As long as the helicopter can keep you in sight (don't forget they have FLIR) you aren't getting away. Post the date, time and location and let's see if one of the LEO's on the board can verify your claim. If true you have my humble apologies and kudos, otherwise I stand by my original comment. In some municipalities they have a do not pursue policy and this may account for some of the boosting, but these kudo's aren't earned because there was no contest to begin with. Trying actually outrunning a LEO and his pals that are pissed off and out to put you in jail. Like a bull dog with his jaws locked and there is always a (deserved) beating when they catch you.

Been there done that many years ago. Now I'm on the other side of equation.

My world only. Most riders that stop will get some type of break. If it means a handful of paper in lieu of arrest/impound or a warning for something small. If a rider mans up to being wrong, half of my job is already done. Just my .02. I hate cleaning up MC wrecks and informing family members. That just plain sux.
 
I am the only purple/black busa in the area and most likely the cop knows me from riding with me. I ride with cops on thier bikes all the time... LOL.
So... No I wouldn't run. Just stop and visit for a bit before heading back down the road.
 
I have to many friends and others riders on the PD +highway patrol.everyone in the departments know me very well.just not worth it to me.never have run and never will.
 
It really depends on the place and time. If it looks like i'm gonna get pulled for a BS ticket for lightly going above the limit then i will run if the situation is right. I know that things could happen and that it might turn out to be a bad decision. But that's what using your head is all about. Knowing when to go and when to fold.
Being a VA native and riding a bright orange sportbike, the Va troopers like to hand out tickets just for the hell of it.
 
Don't know about you guys, but I have found that if you actually follow the laws........Leo's leave me the **** alone!


I don't have any pity for anyone that speeds, gets caught, then whines because his lawyer didn't get him off.

I still love Jim Carey and Randall Tex Cobb in Liar Lair......

"Stop breaking the law, A$$HOLE!!!"

I don't speed, so I would never have the necessity to run.
