That sucks, did they cut you a break on the tickets?
It was inevitable, just sooner than expected
well.... got pulled over tonight headin to work... haha. Yes, i was speeding, and yes, i know i did wrong, im not making any excuses. I was headin down 28 (45 mph posted speed limit) and i was passin cars here and there when it was actually legal. I had just passed one car when i noticed a car that I had passed going the opposite way had suddenly braked when i went by him. I didnt think much of it and continued on my way. Well, sure enough, i see cop lights in the mirrors, and to be quite honest, for a split second, or mabye even a whole second, i contemplated givin him somethin to chase. And then I came to my senses and realized that its no where near worth the risk and I pulled over. The officer said he clocked me doing 71, which i didnt argue(mainly because i know i was going faster than that at some points). I didnt give him any lip about it and 2 other officers pulled up and started asking me questions about the bike :lol2: ... in fact, the officer that pulled me over had a 97 goldwing and we talked for about half an hour after he gave me the tickets. Ah well.... live another day :wink:

yeah, i would never even consider running from VA cops, they always seem well equiped with helicopters in the air to bring you down. But then again, i wouldnt run from cops in other states either.
Good thing you didn't run. I got pulled over 2 weeks ago while I was on the way to get my tires replaced. The COP asked for my registration, insurance and ID and I was being very cooperative. He let me go and told me to stop splitting lanes on the highway. I wasn't splitting lanes, I was cutting people off...lol. Another time, my buddy tried to ran away from COPs and he wrecked his bike 1 block away from his home, and fractured his ribs, what a dumbass!!! He fixed his bike himself but it was about of 2 months without riding... bummer.
no point in running if you know how to talk to cops and be respectful..... running i believe runs through everybodies mind but if the cop is really gonna try to give chase if you really blow by him at more than 100 he must be very confident that hes gonna catch up to you....
brings up the question..... if you are flying down the highway pushing 100mph+ do you really think a cop will try to chase you down? (your opinions needed here)

if i passed a cop doing 100+, i would just speed up, cuz if he gets you your f*cked anyway, so might as well try and dip off the next exit. i had a buddy that did that, he hopped off the next exit, drove into the first neighborhood and just drove into somebodys back yard. he sat there a while, saw some cops go by, but he got away with it
The fastest these police choppers can fly at is 150mph... Hold the throttle open and head for the nearest International Airport. But hey, I don't condone it, but it's my experience. I've been running for years here in NYC. When I moved to Cali for two years I even ran there in LA and San Diego. People used to bug out and couldnt believe it, but the truth of the matter is, nothing accelerates faster than a bike. If you can truly hold it WIDE open (and not many people can) for 15-20 secs through sweepers and such, you're out. There's no way they can catch you. These sportbikes do a realistic 160mph and get there very fast. Is a cop actually gonna hold speed at 150 mph in car for a long time?

ZING and +1...you ain't impressin' anyone, homie...
cop helos only do 150? your on crack. i work on helos and trust me the cop ones do way more than that. and they will request the airspace anywhere is cleared. i was flying in camp pendleton and a CHP helo came over the radios and requested 500' and below along the 5. i went over to see what was up and it was a MD500 cranking along chasing someone. so if they can get in our airspace just think how not sacred the airport's is.
oh, and your really stupid.
oh, and your really stupid.
Couldn't agree more. I too work on helo's in NC and if you think they only do 150, you are SADLY mistaken.FOX said:cop helos only do 150? your on crack. i work on helos and trust me the cop ones do way more than that. and they will request the airspace anywhere is cleared. i was flying in camp pendleton and a CHP helo came over the radios and requested 500' and below along the 5. i went over to see what was up and it was a MD500 cranking along chasing someone. so if they can get in our airspace just think how not sacred the airport's is.

You never take the first exit and you never take a right. When a cop loses sight of you, he'll go first exit and to the right damn near everytime. I don't care how many you go up, but never take the first one and always go left.Bussman600rr said:if i passed a cop doing 100+, i would just speed up, cuz if he gets you your f*cked anyway, so might as well try and dip off the next exit. i had a buddy that did that, he hopped off the next exit, drove into the first neighborhood and just drove into somebodys back yard. he sat there a while, saw some cops go by, but he got away with it
Seriously, you're full of ****. 15-20 seconds? If you're going to get away from the heli, and yes, it CAN be done the **** isn't easy, it takes a lot longer than 15 - 20 seconds. More like 10 - 15 minutes and that's if you get lucky, **** it might take you half an hour depending on what kind of roads you have. Even then, you'd be fortunate to get away. Most people I know who've done it say the LS1 cars are harder to get away from with a dedicated driver than the heli. :shock: If you're gonna run, you better be able to get away from the cop on the ground in less than five minutes. Otherwise, you're usually fucked. Any chase that would be TV worthy is going to end in trouble.nyc600rr said:The fastest these police choppers can fly at is 150mph...

You're going to go wide open on public streets? If you don't know what's up ahead you will have much more to worry about than police. Take it easy. If you think you're bad go to the track and see what happens. Exploiting your skills on the street will reward you with pain and litigation. Using those same skills in a sanctioned racing body may get you umbrella girls. Which would you rather have?
it's disappointing to think anyone would risk other peoples lives by running at high speed. then you think about your family, job, assets, future...and the fun time in jail.
i know it's likely we all speed at times, but there is a time and a place and a degree of being reasonable.

A little off topic, but even the fastest police helicopters won't do much over 150mph. The Agusta 109a is one of the fastest choppers cleared for civilian use. 4 bladed rotor, twin turbine and has a top speed of 161mph.slodsm said:Couldn't agree more.

Most police departments use the Bell Jet Ranger II. These aircraft have a top speed just shy of 140 mph.

The benefit of giving chase in a helicopter is that the helicopeter does not need to adhere to curves in the road and such and can fly as the crow flies. :smile:
If you were able to get a straight piece of road like a freeway, the RR would give any helicopter a good run for it's money. :twisted:
I don't condone running at all, but at home, in the mountains of North Carolina, the Highway Patrol officers don't chase bikes, at all. The roads are twisty enough that no cruiser could ever dream of keeping up with a sportbike with a competent rider.
I've talked with all of the state troopers about it, and they all agree that if they clock a bike speeding, they'll turn around, but if the guy runs, they just break off and go the other way. The thinking is that they'd rather not chase and have the guy end up off the side of a mountain somwhere. It's better for them to lose out on the ticket than be indirectly responsible for someone's serious injury.

Running from the COPS is for morons... you were speeding... be a man and accept responsibility for what you have done. What we all do is inherently dangerous... we wear gear to minimize that risk, we take MSF courses to minimize that risk, etc... running just increases risk!
