1. Commit- be serious,either go or don't go. Don't change your mind and don't half ass it. Get the fuck out!

2. Break visual contact ASAP! Get out of their sight.

3. 2 or 3 exits rule. Get off the freeway within a couple exits to avoid a 2nd cop trap. Don't leave the freeway until you've achevied #2!

4. Try to get going the opposite way if possible. Very confusing to the police and their tactics.

5. Stop running. As soon as you're away and on a different road,hopefully headed in another direction,stop speeding. You'll only invite other chases and bring attention to yourself.

6. If you are part of a group,split up and go different ways.

7. If a different Cop wants to pull you over later,PULL OVER! It makes you look innocent and they can't prove anything if you acheived #s 2,3 and 4.

8. Get off the road for awhile. If you're far from home,stop somewhere and eat,get gas,a drink,etc.

9. If you're not too far from home park it for the day.

10. Above all be CALM. Don't panic. If there is traffic or whatever,pick your way thru and don't take un-necessary chances. Use your bikes strengths to accellerate,brake and change direction your ass on out of there!!!

I personally don't run in the city but if you do,my advice would be to get off the street and home or a friends quick or at least hit the highway or backroad if possible. Also,either ride with friends you can trust or don't tell strangers too much about you. The only ways I've ever seen (in person) someone get busted was by narc(aquaintances had his cell #) or crash(in town). I've never heard of the police actually running a guy on a sportbike down on the highway or backroads(again personally). Oh and I don't know what the gas mileage figures for a GSXR1000 at WOT are but they have to be at lease 10-15 mpg,I'd think. At top speed you could be 3 miles away every minute. How long will it take that cop top slow down,cross the freeway,and come after you? If he's stationary,how long to get on the freeway and accererate to 100+ mph?

Wish I saw this last week. Four tickets in one week! Damn coppers!
