Always enjoyed the South Yorkshire Police video of a Trials Bike Versus Police Car. It lost them completley despit them whinging about "unsuitable tyres for the road". The tyres on a Trials bike have to be road legal in the EU and they are used to propel the bikes up and on Rocks.

Hi, Ive recently bought a CBR400rr, im loving it so much it often temps me above the speed limit! Yesturday i was on my way to work, off a roundabout and a quick blast up my local dual carriage way.

A policeman obv saw me off the roundabout and gave chase. About a mile down the road i turned to see a fat police galaxy storming up behind! oh shit! I slowed down to 70, waiting for him to pull me over. To my surprise he pulled along side and gave me a stern finger shake and left me to go on my way!

Wether he didnt get a chance to confirm my speed or not, i think it was my lucky day.
You cant say that police are pure evil!

I think that scene comes from Ghost rider or Getaway in Stockholm...performed `for` the camera...although they do not pay the police any attention anyway...

Hello andylewis1986. Glad you are on good terms with the Police I have to say that over the years I've found the Police to be ok. I've been stopped a number of times and never got a ticket. Usually they just want to chat to you, check out your bike and perhaps give you some friendly advice Most of them seem human and are a world away from the devisiveness of automatic enforcement.

As for Ghostrider. I know it's wrong but I just can't help but admire him.

Not all police are nice

I was given a ticket by an unmarked biker policeman for 34mph in a 30. WTF!?!?!?! On top of that he wanted to do me for my exhaust and my tyres even though I had just left the then Motorcycle City for a service and had papers to prove they were low, but not illegal.

He was rude, arrogant and a total tt. He searched my bag, checked EVERYTHING on my bike and then had the cheek to tell me that if I didn't get my tyres changed and he caught me, he'd do me for those.

Before you all say I must have been rude to him....I was carrying a friend to uni with a helmet and gloves (totally legal), and I was completely polite to him and I stayed totally calm (not an easy thing to do).

If he is on PH and he recognises this (Suzuki Bandit 600N in March 2003 on University Road, Portsmouth), you are a tt!

There's my peace.... and relax

Rings an annoying bell.

I was pulled over the other day for a slack chain ffs! Despite the fact it wasn't. I tried to persuade the copper for 45 mins that he was wrong and also unjust but he wouldn't have it.

Haven't heard from the cps yet though......fingers crossed.
