If you were wanted by the police and you had your bike.. would ya try and flee the country?

what would ur plan of action be?


And yes.... i'm really this bored

First thing i'd do is dump the bike! as soon as your bikes plate was spotted they'd be on to you! you'd probably be better off on foot and using public transport, holding out in disused buildings or even B&B's if you've got money, and make your way to one of the ports. dunno how youd get out of the country, maybe sneak onto a freight truck at a truckstop and hope it doesn't get checked, or i'm sure there are criminal gangs who can get you out of the country for a price if you make the right noises, kinda like an underground railroad. after that the world is a big place and the authorities are not as good at tracking people down as they make out! cost loads of money and if your out of the country then..........they probably dont give a sh!t about you until you show up again but depends what you did i suppose!

Quiet shift tonight then Vaanen

Danny, it's hard to run forever.

I would not attempt to evade the police using a motorcycle. I have a plan for getting out of the country clandestinely but I am not about to state it on an internet forum.

PM it me? :P

i think i would withdraw all my cash out of the bank max out my credit cards, steal some plates from another bike ,jump on a ferry over to belgium then take it from there, i don't think it would be too hard.

No chance, the trick is to be invisible to the police, and riding a motorcyle attracts the police.
There are ways of getting around that raise no attention at all. Even getting out of the country un-noticed is not much of a problem.

P S you live in Cornwall. Haven't you already left the Country...................?

I am glad you realise that.

After seeing this clip I don't think I'd go the bike route myself:

well



don't know how you would get out of the UK


but if you can make your way to Brazil with a bit of £££££,,,


I am sure I can get you a nice place by the sea,,,, cold beer and even introduce you to some of the local Honeys

More easily than you think, but it is a route not available to many.

Light aircraft.
(Microlight if you're brave)

when me and ruby got our first house i worked out a great escape route (not that i would need it!) if a bike needed to get away and assuming a helicopter wasn't involved (not likely in 1985!)
a guy i know did the "smokey and the bandit" thing hiding along side a big rig on the inside and got away for a little while up a slip road, but got knocked off by the boys in blue 30 mins later, police man sed" nice chase m8, shame we have to do you!" and they did a 5 year ban!
a bikes def not the way to run, its hard enough just to stay alive day to day without the added pressure and panic that must over come you

I suppose... but you could lose a panda car in a matter of seconds on a zx10r or sumthin cudnt ya

I'd have said if ity came down to a police chase in this day and age of copters, radios and infrared camers your are already screwed.

The only chance you have is not to get into the chase in the first place, stay covert.

There are loads of ways out of the country if you know how, small aircraft, small boats, hell even a small fishing boat could easily get to france, a small dingy or rowing boat could get to france if your desperate enough but that would be rather risky.

I reckon best bet would be to steal a car from a long stay car park, airport or somesuch where the owner isnt gonna notice too soon (even better if its pay and display, you can see just when the owner is coming back!).

Either that or public transport, either trains from a small middle of nowhere station or long distance coach.

I think the biggest problem would be money, you couldnt use any of your plastic as that is instantly traceable, paying for large sums in cash also tends to make people a bit uneasy. Maybe cheques but then they tend to be frowned on even more than cash as their a pain in the ass to use and cash.

Possessing the skill of social engineering always helps.

Give 'em a ring , quoting your reg. no., tell 'em it's just been nicked from outside your house. You'll be able to ride around for ever then.

Except they'll pull you over when they see the nicked plate..

All this pre-supposes that the police have enough resources to come looking for you?

More likely they will wait for you to get flashed by a speed camera, use a ferry/plane/Eurostar, or otherwise highlight your own whereabouts.

Borrowing a rear plate from another bike, keeping below the speed limit, and staying in the UK I reckon you would never be caught as long as you use cash and not your credit card.

You could also get a copy birth certificate from a name in a graveyard, with that get a library card and various other ID that won't alert plod, then use that to apply for a passport. With that you can leave the UK without any worries?

which is exactly what i did 20 years ago.....
aww sh!t, i've gone & blown it now havent i?

Why Belgium?

I know a B&B in Holland that would let you hide out in the chicken shed for a couple of weeks...

Now,,,,,,,


who has done what???


all this thinking about running away....


or are you just planning ahead.....????

Nah, go to ground.
If you want, risk using the bike to get there, but disappear out in the middle of nowhere. Dartmoor or the Highlands perhaps.

You are on the run and must give up an awful lot.
If you don't know how to survive in a hostile environment, take a large strong knife (nick a 10" from the kitchen) and a sharpening stone, grab some warm clothes (perhaps disguise yourself as a camper and take a tent and big rucksack of stuff) and steal one of the many SAS-type Survival Guides from WH Smith on the way out of town.

Then vanish into the middle of nowhere. It'll be very hard and very awkward, especially in winter, but you minimise the chances of getting caught. Boredom will be your greatest enemy.

You should be able to hold out indefinitely and how long you stay there depends on whether you think it safe to return to civilisation.

Hey.. we haven't heard from him in a few days...

D'ta think he's gon n done it??

One thing that I find really stupid when I see the things on telly about cops...

Imagine this, if you are planning a robery, stealing a car, whatever it is that you have a chance of being chased by police...
why don't they remember to take a bag of nails/bolts/screws with them?!

That would end a chase in no time, except if there was a police helicopter involved.

I see that American shows, and if it was me, that would be the first thing to have in a car.
It's pretty hard to run away from a police car, but if you have a bag with screws..just throw it out of the window and the police tyres will probably blow....

Wouldnt work JP for one reason, tubeless tyres!

You have had a puncture in the Cat and did the tyre blow or deflate straight away ?

If however you were to hypothetically take 4 nails and weld the heads together into a kinda 4 pointed pyramid which no matter what way it landed would have a nail pointing straight up you would have a caltrop.

Throw a bag of them behind you and I bet you would get better results.

Even better if you copied the idea behind the stinger and the instead of nails used some kind of hollow metal spikes like really heavy duty hypodermic needles , then you wouldnt even need to wait for the base of the caltrop to rip the nail back our before the tyre blew..

Sweet idea. You'd only need two lengths of metal for each spike (just bend each one to make two "legs"). I wanna sit and make some now!

UK Bike Forum- for Biker's who don't take cops too seriously

ok.. we have loads of ideas now, where should we go? HSBC?RBS?Loyds?

no i'm still here unfortantly

i got home alone the other night i was wanted by police and i didnt want to lose my licence...

Don't need a litre bike to do that...Losing the cops in London traffic on a 600 is dead easy. Not crashing into said traffic is the hard part.
