RE: dt rider dies

Ay but if your trying to get away and every time you look in the mirror and see a police car there you only gonna try harder to get away, might aswell say your being chased

Luke · Guru

As someone who used to ride around illegally and know chav's that still do, outrunning the police is easy. You can lose them on a 50CC with a shagged out engine.

If you or a pillion have no helmet, or you're dangerous going on path etc they'll call it off and not pursue. They'll put the blue lights on to try and get you to pull over, if you keep riding off they'll turn the lights off and follow slowly this means they don't have permission to pursue from control. Then you just go off-road through the local fields / walkways and lose them. Easy.

Just make sure the bike is brimmed and you're laughing all the way through the chase. If you go in the direction the local lads use to lose them, they'll send a unit around to try and catch you out on foot, always change up the routes you take. If you have a helmet and are going quite slow, they can drag you off the bike. Sometimes they'll put their car in your path to block you off as well.

Meh, them days are over for me. But even a 50CC scooter can out run a riot van, which they often use for anti-social behaviour around here, which motorbikes fall under if on parks etc. Sometimes they'll send out unmarked units or regular panda cars, but usually they don't even bother unless you're on the road. Only ones that get stick from all of them is the ones on blatant stolen bikes, road bikes with the lights still etc will get chased, but I don't associate with them, they were friends of friends. And popped up at the parks the odd time. disbelief

But running from them with your number plate isn't even worth it or if you have a remotely distinctive bike. Which DT's are.

Hmm i guessing you never got chased by their offroad pursuit unit then? Not fun, dont know what bikes they were on but they were good, just not good enough...

Luke · Guru

Nah, never even bother with the off-road units here. Only bikes they use are the road ones, soon as you go off-road and rag it with your enduro wheels, they can't catch you. Had a clamp down on off-roaders, were just stopping (trying to) off-road bikes. Couldn't catch them.

They get the helicopter out sometimes, but you'll have to be unlucky or on a blatant stolen bike to get chased by it. Around here you can lose any local cars within two minutes as soon as off-road on a park, you have ten different exits to come out of, and they know it. The frequent ones they'll go to next, to see if they can flush you out from the park. As soon as you've been chased get the bike to your friends house or in the bushes hidden and leave it there for an hour or two. As they'll have units all over the area looking for your bike. Also look out for any cars following you, they'll get the unmarked ones to follow you at a distance.
I happened to have a friend right at the end of a walkway so no chance they could see where I went unless I led a bobby on foot to his house, which I never would.

Then a mutual friend got caught riding down a road near his and pulled up on his front, two cops got out and ran after him, he never saw them so he reckons. Must have been blind were in a panda car lol. Confiscated his bike and arrested him under suspicion it was stolen (it wasn't just had a bad rattle can spray job NFA'd him a month or two later.)

What a lovely calibre of people...

2strokemx · Guru

Jesus are you a pikey or something? I never went on the main road, just woods

Dt Danny · Guru

thats what i dont understand if someone is on a bike in the woods or somewhere away from the general public and there not causing any hassle why do you need a licence or insurance the only thing there you could hit is a tree ?

2strokemx · Guru

Noise, and if your ripping up someone's land obviously thats illegal to even be on there

Luke · Guru

The feds send local bobbies on foot through the parks / fields. As soon as they see them its either hit the roads or get caught. When you're on a bike you've saved up for, I know which option I'd take.

And yes Calum, not the nicest of people to hang around. Not all the bikes were stolen, only the odd one came up with a stolen moped or something like that. I were just nice to them so they didn't come after mine. It isn't what you know, it's who you know.

Also learned a fair bit from them. Made mutual friends, but obviously I don't trust them with a pinch of salt. But you get people like that where ever you go. Even in the posh areas there's thieves, just more sophisticated than chav's that take mopeds.

And the main road is only a short blast, on the road, straight to another park and getting off. Also the adrenaline from a chase is addictive. I'd deliberately wind them up to chase me... Then I wrote off hahah. Fell off about four times off-roading and once during a chase, still got off. Came off as a pillion on a bike as well.

And I know even rougher people. When you come from a rough council estate you end up crossing paths with these people on a daily basis. But anyway, one of the ones I liked the most is about to serve some years behind bars. I never committed crimes with them, I know crime doesn't pay and wouldn't want a criminal record. Can't get a job with a criminal record. disbelief

Just don't leave a moped or motorbike in Leicester with no decent locks or it'll go walk abouts. Just talking to them they'll tell you what bikes they'll never go for or what security they can't bypass. All later model superbikes by Yamaha, R1 and R6 etc they can't get started at all, as they have immobilisers. So if you lose one, it's a van job.
