What would you sooner fight : 10 duck-size horses, or one horse-size duck ....?

I'll take the duck sized horses. Although it could be a bit like that scene in The Lost World where the guy gets bitten to death by all those chicken (duck?) sized dinosaurs. That's no way to go

My next door neighbour is Trafpol and he rides bikes as part of his duties. He's an arse and his psychopathic bh of a wife is a complete .

Just thought I'd share

I bet he's faster than you too..

Of course he is, he's got 10 duck sized horses and I've only got a horse sized duck.

On standard gearing.

Like it says in the Police Riders Manual "power is nothing without control"

People get away from police riders because they take more risks or they fail to see hazards which the police slow down for. Some exceptions of course.

This R1 had a lot more power than all those police cars parked nearby. I wonder which one is faster now?

That's Western Australia. Pretty much everything I the world is faster than the Ford AU Falcon in the background. The bike test is a joke, you need not experience anything over a 250cc before riding an R1 when that shot was taken, the road surfaces are st, the other drivers are st. It's like a magnificent canvas of stness, that picture.

But I digress.

I wonder if a 3 way like that could happen?

Used to ride with a Traffic cop, he had a Hayabusa, I had a GSXR-600 and couldn't keep up with him even on the twisties. He could throw that bike around like a Thai hooker Cagiva Mito.

Police BMW R1100. 100 bhp. 250 kgs with all the gear.
Yamaha R1 1000. 190 bhp. 180 kgs.

400 bhp per tonne.

Yes, the rider affects things a little, but the noddy bike really hasn't a hope in hell if the sports bike rider isn't a complete clown!

Haha!

What the fk? Please stay, you're hilarious.

You obviously don't ride a bike like mine then!
PS the above is factual, what you have offered is just childish.
But if you'd like to tell me what is incorrect please try!
Oh wait, you are excused. I just looked at your garage. A poxy 325i and NO motorcycle.

You've reduced the whole debate to the power to weight ratio of the hypothetical vehicles in the discussion. Which ignores so many other very relevant factors that your whole post was (in isolation), a complete waste of your time.

I looked at your garage and I'm really, really impressed. Blown away in fact. Can I have your autograph? Of course, we can judge the validity of any person by their forum profile and how many toys they own, cant we?

Is it a 2CV? I'd like one of those but need to practise a bit more before I try to handle all those horses / hamsters / ducks.

If you really really believe that you are a riding god and the no copper could even come close might I suggest that you put some time and money into confirming that belief. To start with do a Bike Safe day and then if you still think they're crap part with some cash to these guys http://rapidtraining.co.uk/index.html and watch them hand you your own arse.

If you live in Yorkshire it's £70 & an utter waste of time.

They are pulling people over or leafleting parked bikes and giving out vouchers to do it for free. That's how I got mine. TFL has a target to lower accidents of motorcyclists in the city and contributes 1.5m quid a year to the programme. And as a result the programme is targeted to get as many riders through as possible.

I've outrun the police. Does that make me better than them, or was I just crazy??

Agree with your point.
It all depends what you were both riding! Police are not hard to shake off if they are on an 1100cc flat twin and you or i are on a 1299 Panigale.
Some won't get it though! They will think the copper must always be quicker! Even on a moped!
