Embarrassment

Five bikes outside my house having just been pulled over by Mr. Plod
in an unmarked Skoda! We haven't had such excitement in the village
since 1942 when the Merkin MPs shot some deserters by the railway station.

 

I bet they regretted wearing the rucksacks.

 

They are probably the same type that harp on in the pub about how quick they
are in their romper suits on their plastic crap, just like the lot at the
Ring that got overtaken by a German bird in ford Transit.

Then they wonder why they are a target for the Police and get the rest of us
tarnished with the same brush.

Pathetic tossers.

 

what a sad twat you are, and no i dont wear a romper suit!

 

*Five* of them? How many managed to lose the Skoda, then?

 

None of them. They all stopped like good little power rangers.
I think that Plod only gave one of them a telling off as the other four
were just standing in the rain.

 

Those things go like **** with a couple of tweaks - unless you're *very*
confident, I don't think outrunning one is an option.

 

He. A chipped Skoda - the ultimate Q-car.

 

Champ says...

On a ZX10R with 3 years 0% finance?

 

You'd take a chance against a professional driver with 4 wheels and
220bhp?

I know I'm pretty damned slow on a bike, but, I wouldn't even chance it
in a straight line.

 

Put it to the test, then.

See how far you get.

*if* you manage to outrun the car, the helecopter wouldn't be far behind
you.

Oh, sorry, I was forgetting you'd been there, done everything and bought
every t-shirt.

My mistake.

 

I'm pretty sure 99% of claims in this NG are bullshit, too.

Perhaps you once outran a Metro panda, but any other claims are, on the
balance of probability, likely to be bullshit.

SteveH says...

A *friend of mine* outran a police 2.8 Granada once on a bog stock
RD400 back in 1982. They started the chase because *he* was doing about
85 in a 30 limit at about 11-30pm. *He* was quickly running out of
fuel, so *he* got as far in front as *he* could then dumped the bike
and ran to a nearby mate's house. The next morning the bike was
reported stolen. *He* told the police that he'd lost his keys, which
also had house keys on, at work so left the bike behind and walked to
the friends to sleep the night there. No charges were ever brought
against *him*.

 

Don't be so silly, that would be where Bonwick's money would go.

 

In all fairness, a 2.8 Granny is a bit shit. OK, so an RD400 is, too,
but a modern plod car vs a modern bike.

No chance.

I'll bet he gets a serious twitch on when he sees this

Bollards.

(And I mean that quite literally).

There are *dozens* of places where a bike can lose a car, if the rider
is sufficiently motivated and has the local knowledge.

But (as the Ursine One has already opined) "If it were done when 'tis
done, then 'twere well it were done quickly".
