How many of you have been involved in a high speed chase ?

Should be interesting.

I ran in '88 from the Mandeville cops from east approach of 190 to the west approach at 100 MPH. They blockaded me at the end of the west approach. I denied running as a nice young college grad from LSU. I denied the run and played it as a simpleton. The cop then tried to recruit me for their police force and he knew I was playing it. Good times.

I was in one yesterday. I wasn't the one running.

17 and riding through neighborhood throwing firecrackers out the window. Car starts coming after us. Driver runs at incredible speeds. After a couple of minutes will hear dinky siren and realized it's an unmarked cop car. Pull over and it's incredible the number of marked police cars that appear instantly with sirens and lights flashing. Guns raised, jerked out of car, searched, and thrown in the back of cop car. Cops pissed when all they find is a few firecrackers. Fingerprinted, photographed, and booked for possession of fireworks. At least I wasn't driving. My friend's dad slapped his son silly.

Ran from the cops at 100+ mph on a Yamaha R6 about 5 or 6 years ago. I think the cop gave up pretty quickly, but we were on Hwy. 90 heading back into Slidell so we assumed the Mississippi cop radioed the La. police - there really isn't anywhere to go for a long stretch on that road. When we got back into Slidell we tucked into a neighborhood, and my buddy laid his bike down in a turn and ended up on someone's lawn. Really ignorant - there are a string of little bridges along Hwy.90 and we were making passes where you couldn't really see oncoming traffic. After I got home, I thought, "You're a 40+ year old dentist with a wife and 3 kids at home, and you're running from the cops at 100+ to avoid a ticket? WTF???" I never rode on the street another day after that - I stuck to track days once a month and never touched my bike otherwise.
