170mph OK who was it?

OK who was it :-)

"I'm Spartacus!"

No.... I've forgotten who I am now.....
Lovely bit of road. Easily capable of taking 170 safely... duelled and
good surface.

Heh, you're on your own!

Now that has brightened up my day :-)

The bit of road in question is straight and with a good surface so I
interpret the comments of 'Inspector Julian Moulton' as a tad biased.

Well.. I dunno. Blue Jacket on a Yellow bike, you have to be inclined
to agree a bit.

Sighted and reported...

There's a case that could be made for encouraging all the local scooterboys
who have yellow scooters to adopt blue jackets for the duration of the
emergency.

Whoever it was will hopefully be changing his jacket or taking a
different way home for a good long while.

Or keeping to 170... They obviously couldn't catch him last time.

Heh. Is right answer.

There's something satisfying about doing a runner from Plod, however
irresponsible it is.

Well, I've done it. Anyone else?

*waves*[1]

I certainly don't make a habit of it.

Strewth. It appears that I do. Mea culpa.

As if that was a surprise to anybody...

Twice. Many years ago on my Honda CJ250T, where the local police
Granada regularly chased me back to the hotel I lived & worked at in
Farnborough. Someimes I made it back, sometimes I hid in the dark
between cars in the car park and sometimes I was caught :)

More recently, I was chased for 12 miles at speeds upto and over
135mph by an unmarked car until I lost him. He came round the next
day with the video, which I still have, it having been used as
evidence. I was nicked for 92mph early in the chase, to which I
pleaded guilty, but was acquitted of Dangerous Driving due to the
officer not turning up in court. In my defence, I knew I was being
chased, but not by whom, at the time, since the car had no flashing
lights or siren etc.

In England, Irish Republic and Scotland. Bollards help a lot....

I remember doing this before but yes, in a van though, not a bike.

Got away, too :)

More than once.

I even did it without realising they were chasing me but they gave up
and nicked the slower rider.

Once, on a Triumph Trailblazer, across the Meadows in Edinburgh. The
Panda couldn't keep up on the grass :-) and the bollards at the far end
stopped him anyway. I was very young... wish I could still ride like
that,

As Hog said - bollards rock . . . .

Of course.

Worse, when I was 18, I got *caught* after doing a runner from a bike
plod (I got lost...). And I *still* didn't get done.
