My experience has been be calm and polite and all will be ok. Doubling the speed limit only gets you thrown in jail if your a ass to the cop cause at the end of the day its up to them what happens. The worst thing about doing 150+ on public streets is listening to the cops freak and melt down for 5 minutes until they catch there composure, chew you out for a few more minutes and then let you go all in all its a 15-30 minute ordeal.
Sooo many do LOL!
First you have to be proven to be the person in the car at the time of the chase which isn't too hard to step around with window tint / a mask.
your thinking is ingenious......
I grew up tearing up the Autobahn at 18 near Hahn AB, Germany...the American attitude that every moron gets a drivers license to get in your way and the exorbitant actions of our criminal justice enterprised rigged police state fiasco is just that. my 02...... :bash:

I got caught doing 80 in a 35 once...I was 16 and the police literally planted weed in my car to scare the shit out of me. Almost went to jail but I was given a court date for a month later.
Went to court and saw the judge. It was my first traffic violation ever and he asked me if I was sorry. I said yes and he told me to have a blessed day. Never forgot that judge....

I got 127 in a 45 about five years ago. Was arrested and got a $900.00 court fine, plus $600.00 to my lawyer. Received court supervision for two years I believe it was.
I have nothing against law enforcement, they were just corrupt cops. If you're saying that there aren't cops who would do that then you're full of shit even though its 0.0001% of them that are crooked.

Minnesota anything over 100mph is an automatic one year license suspension, I'm sure there's more penalties involved but that's the main one that gets my attention.
4 years ago I was caught doing 102 in a 35. It was an Indiana state trooper who saw me and he was going the opposite direction of me. He had to do a 3 point turn in the highway to turn around, and when he finally got to me I had been sitting stopped for a good 30 seconds waiting for him. He was, to say the least, unbeliavably pissed off and I don't blame him. A 19 year old kid doing 100+ in a dodge neon coming out of a town is a very incredibly stupid move. I was respectful and honest with him and apologized for my stupidity, which at that point is already a given. He ended up only writing me a speeding ticket. Which my lawyer got reduced down to 4 points and a fine I cant remember.
Looking back on it now, I knew the highway extremely well. It was dusk, I had a huge headstart and lets face it there are a shit ton of silver neons running around that look like an SRT-4 (my previous one, not current). But running was not something that I ever considered. No matter what your chances are of avoiding them are you should never put your own or other peoples lives in danger to that degree. I understand it's a bit of a fine line between us getting on our cars because that is still dangerous. But running from the police is just something I hope everyone would be smarter than to do.

I would not run in a dodge neon either. lol
+1 :lol:
One of the reasons I didn't run when I got my 120 in a 55 ticket was because I was in a '97 GT (with just bolt-ons). Ain't no way I'm putting that up against a Dodge Charger that can likely do 140-160 if need be. No thanks!
Now if I were in my Cobra or on my bike, see ya! :burnout:
It was my old SRT-4 that ran high 12's and trapped 113, it moved out of it's own way for a stock turbo lol

Way too obvious that you are new to bikes and you haven't been riding long. Sadly, I have a good feeling that you are going to end up a grease spot on the road.
May want to focus on not dumping the bike in parking lots before you consider outrunning police. :nonono:
You just won't let that go will you? :bored: I'm sure you've NEVER made a mistake, be it on two wheels or four, have you? :rollseyes
Everything other than speeding and open container. However the speeds the OP is talking about is easily considered reckless driving in Texas. To the OP it is all going to depend on the officer and situation. in Texas something like that can get you reckless driving which can get you up to 30 days in jail and/or up to a $200 fine. This is assuming your not racing because that is a whole nother offense. Now all you people talking about running, in Texas evading in a vehicle is a Felony punishable by at least 180 days in jail up to two years, and a fine up to $10,000. Thats if NOBODY gets hurt. If ANYONE is injured due to you evading then it gets bumped up to a 2nd degree Felony. Now think about that next time you decide to see if you can get away. If you just pull over when the cop tries to pull you over you MIGHT get a fine of $200 and have to go to jail. If you run and get caught you WILL go to jail for at least 180 days and have a fine of up to $10,000. Once again all this is Texas not sure about any other state.

Here in Va. Expect to go to jail on the spot and car impounded. I know 20 + the posted speed is reckless and anything over 80 since the speed limit is 70 a few areas. Haven't kept current with the laws ( stopped doing dumb stuff to need to care ) but at one time anything over 100 carried a totally separate charge.
Use to sit in court on slow days at work and listen to judge Harvell recite the tickets and statues that covered them. Everyone that cleared a 100 was given 90 days in jail and some state restitution fine he would say. Even with lawyers pleading , once the method to clocking them was established accurate to jail you went. Oh and mandatory 1 year suspension with SR22 to follow.

Pretty much.
Running from the cops is pretty much assured prison time if you get caught. Versus a nasty speeding ticket which at the officer's discretion, you may not even see jail.
Which is preferable?
