I don't know about the other states, but here in MS, it's a felony to flee LEO in pursuit. They WILL catch you.

First, make sure it's near the end of the shift. IF they catch you, they have to work late to arrest you and impound the vehicle. Changes their motivation.

Cops have a sixth sense for donuts. As you zoom by another car, stick a donut on their trunk lid. An upside down maple frosted from Dunkin Donuts will stick for a long time. The patrolman will follow the scent of the donut instead of you.

Finally, be sure and ride through a high crime area. They'll get distracted and find somebody slower to beat up on.

That must be a fairly new law. I have seen lots of people trying to flee get felony arrests usually for aggrevated assault on an officer. I would never even contemplate running from the police...it is too dangerous....not to mention the beat down your gonna get when they do catch ya. But the question is how do you do it....you get a 1981 nissan pickup truck with low profile 50s that are so wide they scrub everytime you hit a bump....you will learn that you can make a 90% turn at 50mph w/o sliding at all. So all you have to do is keep making turns and never decrease your speed....worked for my drunken buddy while I was on the pasenger floorboard cussing him and begging him to stop. Worked out well they came and got him the next day. He totaled that little truck doing the same thing about 3 weeks later when a ball joint broke from all the stress of making one of those high speed turns.

One would have to be either lucky, stupid or a world class GP rider to outrun cops.

purely stupid to try and out run . I can't tell you how many time that I have been let off with a warning or a lessor violation for just co operating . be cool and if you do break the law take it like a man and deal with the end results .

Gee, there are a lot of things that are against the law.... there's little if any deterence in noting that "it's a felony if you do that"... Afterall, if I've just shot and killed a bunch of people after robbing a bank/liquor store/donut shop, I truly doubt I'm going to sit and wait for the sheriff because it's a felony to flee... oh oh, that means the feds will be chasing me too??? Oh darn.

How about getting some of the road spikes and keep them in your saddle bags. Pull them out and the car chasing you goes on flat. He will only be able to radio and say he was last seen heading......Make a few turns pull over at a local watering hole and hope they can't tell your bike from the others.

Oh, just pull into a donut shop and park. They'll pull in behind you, jump out of their car all in a tither then instead of asking for your licence and registration, they'll ask "Who's buy'in?"
