When I was in high school, I was caught street racing with a buddy. I stopped and my buddy took off. They were waiting for him at home. He lost his license for a year, and I got off with a warning.

When I have a vehicle that can outrun a radio, I'll consider it.

 

small town, local police department.

yeah, we ran just about every weekend.

 

Did it 25 yrs ago on a dirt bike, never would think to do it now...

 

On a dirt bike at 16, but we lived in the country and you could cross the pastures with no problem on a bike. Highway patrol wouldn't even try to keep up. I think it was fun for them just to run us off into the weeds.
I guess I sort of did about 2 months ago. I was coming up a hill about a half mile from home. I was doing about 60 in a 45, why it's a 45 there is beyond me. Should be 55 anyway. I pass a cop going the opposite direction, he hits his lights. I happen to know he'll have to go up at least a half mile to turn around and I have two other cars behind me. I open it up and turn onto my road at the top of the hill and was in the garage probably before he got turned around. Now I don't know if the lights were for me or the guy behind me, but I figured this one was a easy get away. Any other time I wouldn't even consider it.

Maybe he's a fellow rider that needed new pipes and just wanted to know what type yours were.

Oh, and No comment to the question!!! I didn't see any cop, nor did I see a cop say anything to me about staying anywhere. I was just heading home minding my own bid-ness.

 

Just far enough to meet the ones in front of me.

 

Good job Jarhead, you overcame and adapted to your surroundings.

 

Yes, when I was 14 on a dirt bike. We had just gotten off the street onto our riding spot and the cop pulled up behind us. We figured since we were on the dirt, he would just let us go. WRONG! That cruiser was climbing hills I thought only the bikes could handle. I could hear it bottoming out over the sound of the siren! My buddy was not that good of rider and fell about a minute into the chase. I stopped and went back to see if he was OK. Cop was pretty cool (chewed us out pretty good) said that since we were underage, it would be too much paperwork to take us to jail, so he just gave us tickets for riding (on the street) with no license.

 

No. I'm a good boy. Too Afraid to spend time in jail. :-)
