While on a sport bike... I hardly call it out running the cops... In all honesty I have ran from cops once on bike simply because a quick twist of the wrist... and a few seconds later its over because by the time the cop gets to the speed u were going... its already too late cuz ur gone. I would never conceive of actually becoming involved in a true chase simply because it would be extremely selfish to put the officer or anyone else through that.
There was one instance however where I seriously contemplated making a run for it because of the sutation. My buddy just put a new set of gears in his mustang GT and we wanted to see how our cars matched up. So we went out late at night in the middle of no where and did a few runs. On our last run, we took off and by the time we were going 70 an officer was quite a distance behind us coming for us. For a second or two... I sat there half throttle weighing my options (i was in front at the time
... so I could maybe pull it off). The only reason it even crossed my mind is because the penalties in AZ for drag racing are extremely harsh. I believe its 7 pts. on the record, and the car would be impounded, plus possible jail time. This was a while ago, so I may be slightly off on the details of the penalties. My reason got the best of me
and I pulled over and shut her down. I turned my hazards on, put the keys on the seat next to me(i guess I did it so the officer wouldnt worry I would take off) and got all of my paperwork out. I was sure that at the least my car would be impounded and i would spend the night in jail. The officer spoke to my friend first and i had no idea what they were saying. Shortly he arrived at my car, with the veins popping in his forehead. He proceeds to tell me what a dumba$$ thing that was and that I better never do that fukcing bu1lsh1t again(word for word). I dont blame him at all for being pissed, it was a stupid thing to do. Anyways, he then told me that he was on another call and didnt have time for my crap, then he got in his car and left..... Moral of the story, GOOD THING I DIDNT RUN!!!! Imagine what could have happened.... its never really worth it. Not even on a bike
