I was told by someone that the police do not even attempt to catch these high speed bikes because they are so fast they can't do it. That may be hearsay.

I can say that almost every single night after midnight 2 of these bikes flash down the road in back of my house. My son says they are doing over 100 mph, and they are so loud they wake us all up. One day they are going to get in a major accident, I just hope it's not us.

Wanna hear something funny?

Here in CT if ya get caught on the interstate speeding over 90 mph with a passenger you get charged with "attempted murder".

They pile on a whole bunch of silly charges in an effort to have one stick.

Having said that the roads (highways) here in CT are so crappy and congested....you'd have a hard time escaping from a cop who radio's ahead to have the exits blocked....which is common practice here.

They can't out run the radio though. I do believe that high speed chases involving bikes are discouraged though because the rider will probably die if he has an accident.

From message boards, fellow bikers have expressed the best the way to run from the cops is to pull over and then take off once the cop car stops. That should give the rider enough distance to get off at the next exit and lose the cop.
