just bring your VHF along on the rcmp freq. and key the mic with duct tape. probably would only give you 20yrs-life if you were caught too

Damn, sobo, I know it looks like I'm picking on you, but there's a quote I'm not too fond of.

Whoever said you can't outrun the radio has never owned a crotch rocket. With one of them, you're doing Warp 20 before anyone else can think of responding. Or, say you're traveling on a two lane Texas road with a red bike, red helmet and red/white striped shirt, during a summer day, and Mr DPS clocks you at 95 or so. Well you can go to jail (55mph limit) or give it a twist of the wrist and fly down the road at over 130 until some of the adrenaline has subsided and you realize you're in real deep shit if you get caught. Lock the rear brake trying to stop, hide bike and yourself in bushes till nightfall and then find another way home. Long story short, but that's an old trick... hiding in the bushes.

Maybe the other stipulation is you need to be young, dumb, and...

My sentiments exactly.

My cop buddy tells me he and many of his fellow deputies refuse to chase bikes. He says that when they wreck it's always gawd-awful messy, and usually into the side of a building.
