238mph

Hey, I DO NOT recommend running, especially now... but years ago, before
the cops had their **** together, we use to run all the time...

This thread is for some of the "older" guys that wanna share some of their
stories of outrunning the MAN...:YEAH

So since I started this thread, I get ta go 1st!!!

North Carolina... hmmmm 1977ish... I had a Kawasaki 900 Z-1... and I was
riding along doing my usual long wheelies... and I go by one of those
big 'ol billboards, yep, like ya see in the movies. Well damn if there wasn't
a friggin cop sittin behind this one as I go by... and in my mirrors I see him
pulling out, with the rear end going to smoke...

So I'm like... no big deal... and I wack the Kawi.... :YEAH

Well... I'm really hauling ***... and I look back and this guys hanging with me...

I was like, WTF??? Back then NOBODY had fast police cars... but then I
remember Carl (buddy of mine) telling me that the Highway Patrol had
this new police car.. called "The Interceptor" oooooohhh, this wasn't good!!!

We go miles and miles... flat out... speedo pinned, with me lying on the gas
tank as best I could.... begging the big Kawi to give me all she had...

I was thinking ahead... and I knew there was a real high overpass in a couple
of miles... but then at the bottom on the other side was a little town, and
the speed limit was 25, because it was real congested. DAYUM!!!

So I keep looking in my mirrors... he's still there... DAYUM!!!! DOUBLE DAYUM!

Then, all of sudden... holy cow!!! Smoke pours outta the motor of that new
cop car... ooooh wheee... he fades away, and so I let off and slow down.
Then I got to thinking... I can't go into that town, might be lots more of
those guys... so I decide to pull a u-ie and head back.

Well the cop rolls to a stop... near the top of the overpass... and here I
come back towards him... I see him get out... and he reaches down for his
gun on his side... and at the same time I stand up on my pegs and salute
him. I went by him maybe 30 mph... all the while saluting him... and he
just stared at me... and then returned the salute back!

It was a good feeling, like two warriors that had a lot of respect for each other.

I'll never forget that guy... I wanted to stop and just talk... but I knew I
couldn't... sad, I bet he and I would have been good friends.

But those were the old days... now they'll shoot ya for the fun of it...
or run you down with their car... so don't do it... not worth a stupid ticket.
But ahhh, the old days... run what ya brung....

sQuiD FigHTer

skoh

awesome story, almost felt like I was there in your shoes! hah not that I haven't been before.

Nate-VMC

click a gear and disappear. I used to love running.

238mph

30 years ago we use to say... "Drop a gear and disappear..."

I see not much has changed!!! :YEAH

Another time... running... just could not get away... couldn't think of
where to go... then it hit me... my new girlfriend's parents house was close
by.... so I blasted into the back yard and dumped my bike in the bushes...

DAYUMMM ... her mom comes out, looks at me and says...
"The LAW's after you aren't they..."

I was like... Oh GOD, even she's against me....

Then she says..."Come on in, I got some hot peach pie for ya...":YEAH
Inside, I got a big lecture... not about running... but about not having
sex with her daughter....

Too bad, I was already knocking the bottom outta her....

skoh

do work

ogsuperman

rite! i had one try to ram me with a girl on the back once,i was doing only like 120ish on the hgwy nice and open giving the gf a thrill and when i slowed down to get off,here comes a ill state trooper with the tires locked up skiding across all 3 lanes rite at me!
i had to hit the hooks so hard i was doing a 6' stoppie to avoid getting hit!
needless to say he missed me thank god and i was able to pull backout and onto the hgwy again.
i look over my shoulder and this crazy ****** trys to make it back off the ramp halfway through it to the hgwy,lol

all i saw after that was the front of his squad car hitting grass and dirt flying in the air! hahahaha

later that day i get a call from my boy that works for IDOT as a mech and he asks if any of our crew got chased because a cop just brought back a fucked up squad he wrecked chasing a bike!

funny thing is,i wasnt running,i ddidnt even know he was there til he came at me,lol

apperantly he got mad **** for wrecking his car and losing a guy with a passenger,lol

ogsuperman

sounds like that comercial for that cop chase show that shows the cop hitting a yellow 900! lol
everytime i see that it pisses me off! hahaha

ogsuperman

ok one more,lol

sitting at a light one day mid day beautiful outside,but mad traffic and its a constuction area.

no workers around but the line is long as hell and my bikes not getting any cooler.

i decide to dip in the cones a min and squeeze around the cars to make a right at the light way ahead.

sure as **** when i reach the light there goes a cop turning rite infront of me and see me.

he hits his brakes like his gonna stop in the middle but realizes he has cars behind him so he rolls out wide instead.

i see this and use it as my chance to break,since i was already rollin dirty with 3 movers and a suspension in the mail coming for me.

i go straight behind him and head through town mildly fast to get some distance but not crazy cause there alot of cars.

i get to a bridge area crossing a river where the roads breaks down to 2 lanes,one each way but no median.
the traffic has cars backed up over the bridge,so i figure fuckit im using on coming since its clear rite now to get around them.
i look back and jonny laws not far behind racing through cars like he was in the ****** mach5.

i get to the light and break right infront of the cars waiting to turn and into traffic flow.


i no longer see him and live 2 miles away,so im solid,whew!!!!!!

2 months later im driving my van on that suspended DL and i get pulled over.

needless to say i wasnt given a driving on suspended cause the guy finds a case of loosecannon videos in the van and tells me he loves bikes,so hes just gonna write me up for no insr.,lol sweet rite!
well then he finds a bowl from my chronic killin days in the door and im off to jail!

so on the way there he prceeds to tell me a story about how when he got his first NEW squad car he had only had it for 3 days when he came across a guy on a bike blowing a redlight in construction.

he proceeds to tell me he thought he had the guy cause his new cruiser was fast and he was keeping up for a min,when the guy went down a 2 lane rd and turned,so he tried to follow using the oncoming lane and by the time he got halfway past the traffic cars and towards the stoplight,cars began to turn into his path.

he had to then lockup his brakes at 50ish and turn back into our lane filled with cars then stuffing his NEW squad under the back of a school bus! lol

i was like,holy ****,so thats what happened to that cop! hahahha
in my head ofcourse,im not that stupid.

he then tells me how he doesnt chase bike since that and he thinks it stupid! lol

then he tried to tell me it was a 95 gsxr 750, when i was riding a wht 94 900rr,lol
i really wanted to tell him he didnt know his bikes for ****,but that would of been obvious!lol

today i stick to lots, to much to lose with kids :YEAH

starboynky

not that i wouls run BUT ONT TIME I HEARD OF THIS GUY...that had a blk 03 r1 was doing a tank wheelie set it down heard the sound of the police car behind him...well i took off ( the guy not me) went jumped on the parkway where i see two more state boys headed my way with the lights on...just hamerd down going threw cars(like ghost rider) seen a exit comming up so i (not me the guy) looked back and the cops were WAY THE **** BACK THERE, so i ( the guy) was kinda ******* at the time and real cocky. So i (the guy) decided to go down the ramp and shoot right back up the on ramp going the other way....So ******* funny as i was gettn on the parkway the cops were getting off I did a one hander wheelie with the bird sign and went the other way....TWENTY MINS LATER THREE COPS WHERE IN MY ( the guys) driveway...it said wasnt me....

"Click it, or ticket" it used to be all over the billboards here.


i used to run everytime, especially if i was on my dirtbike.

i have a VHS-S tape of me on my crf450 back in the day (2002) running from them doing a wheelie.

i was out ridin one night with a couple of guys that i normally didn't ride with.. and they were ridin around like ********.. so i said **** this i don't feel like havin to run tonight or gettin any tickets so i decided to go to my friends house who was havin a party instead..

well i'm like 4 miles from my buddies house and there's this oncoming car that flashes me to turn off my high beams.. and i didn't really feel like turning them off, but i also didn't feel like being an ******* and blinding him! so being the nice guy i am i slip one up to get the light out of his eyes

as i'm passing the car i look over and what do you know &@#&# County Sheriff.

the good thing was that i didn't even have to drop a gear... but i was still able to disappear..... :YEAH

Don't mind going to jail so much as they run you over when you stop .or hit you head on slowing down from 90mph. 7kpd suv police wagon decided to come across double yellow and hit me head on to stop me..He stoped me..Then one of them wanted to beat me with his nightstick.thank goodness some of them saw that I still wasn't moving. They crushed my whole left side, Almost cut off left knee left arm,hand and fingers, L1 crushed.total 13 broken bones. no apology. just some bogus tickets so they could justify there actions. They kept it out of the news and papers. Had to file 2 F.O.I.A to get my police report and they did not want me to have it , after two weeks in the hosp I got one write up in a small paper off of the police report wich was not even close to being accurate. one will lie and the rest will swear to it..there f@#$$%g pigs !! and they wonder why people dislike them !! Go figure !

ThorMX174@aol.c

****. that's shitty. it's real fucked up what they can do and get away with.

Getawaydriver85
