I thought this would be a fun read.

I want to here the stories of when you hid, out ran, or all most got caught by the law.

It has only happened to me once. I was riding with 2 buddies, one in a kart, the other on a mini bike. We were just having our usual good time riding through the parking lots of a corporate business park, where we have an office/warehouse. It was the weekend so there was no one there. We had been riding all over the place and had made our way back to our home lot...All of a sudden a huge wagon came flying in lights flashing...Needless to say, we all took off in different directions...I under estimated the area I needed to turn around and nailed the curb, doing some damage to my kart and myself....I was still able to ride however. I got turned around and took off around the back of the building and managed to fly into the open door of our warehouse...Got off started pulling the door down, and here comes my buddy on his kart....He made it in, we slammed the door shut and turned off all the lights. The other guy on the mini bike was nowhere to be found. We thought for sure, with the size of the police vehicle, they were going to take our karts...Luckily they hadnt found us....We assumed that our buddy on the bike had to have gotten rolled, but we werent really about to go out to find out. We sat there for probably 45 minutes peaking through the office windows until we saw the cop was finally gone. About 5 minutes later we heard someone pounding on the warehouse door. We figured we were screwed. Thankfully it was just our buddy, who had ended up hiding in a field behind the warehouse. The cops didnt get any of us. Needless to say, we were done riding for the night. We loaded up my kart into my vehicle and I headed for home. Got out of the parking lot, and there was the cop sitting there, waiting for us to be back out on our karts. Thankfully he didnt put 2 and 2 together and stop me, so I got away scott free. About 2 weeks later my buddy did get a letter sent to his office with a formal complaint about the karts....That was late fall, and we havent ridden there since....

I was pulling out of a field onto the road once and when I checked for cars, a state cop popped over the hill. He didn't stop but it still scared the **** out of me.

Oh ya , thats what I'm talking about.
I got chased about a block and flew into my drive way. by the time I got out of the kart and went to turn it off the cop grabed me through me on the front of his car and handcuffed me, well to make this short I got a ticket and the judge droped the charges after I told him it was a 6.5 hp and it went about 20mph

I used to ride a two stroke KX 80 in my neighborhood when I was a teen. It was pretty fast. Way faster than their cars (on accel at least). I always hit the trails if one came after me. I could come out so many different places in my neighborhood. Including a trail that led to my house, so I could just sneak it into the garage and go in. Happened a few times.

I stopped for the cop one time, and he told me I had to ride it home. It was about a block up the street, but I went to another house as if it were mine, then went through their yard to the woods. I'm sure they weren't pleased, but I didn't care at the time. hah.

Riding my 125 around my cottage, Cops always seem to come into the bush around Canada day time for some odd reason and watch one party in particular. I was riding down the road when I looked into the lot of one cottage and saw a couple cops there. I was sure they saw me but I just kept going as if nothing happened. When I was about 10 years old I used to ride my homemade 3 wheeler around my neibourhood and I was always very carefull, Always had a helmet on and whent very slow. There was some other teens in my neiboirhood that drove there karts around the block but pretty fast. One night a cop comes to our garage at around 11 o clock while I was in bed at the time claiming I was riding around at 11 on MY 3 wheeler. We open up the garage door and show the cop my 3 wheeler just for him to see the thing had no chain or fuel line on it as we where working on it. He then trusted we werent riding it just 15 minutes ago.

I got caught doin 85 in a 45 once. The only time I actually got pulled over in my Supra. Had the top off, he walks up to me and asks me for my license/etc. Asked why I was going so fast.
I tell him that I had just put a new water pump on because the car was overheating. I explained that I was simply building all my boost in 2nd to see if it would overheat again (He did catch me at the top of second gear).

I told him that I was sorry that second gear happened to be so fast, and even noted that I had taken into consideration the empty/straight/dry road that I was on.

He ran my license, it was clean, good insurance, the works. So he just let me off with a verbal warning and said "Keep the speeding to the highways".

i was in traffic one day on 94 west bound (in san diego, cali). i hadn't opened up my bike yet, fzr600. i saw a nice sized opening in traffic (they do 90 in a 55 on the highway there), anyway, i get into her, am doing 135, when i look up and see a bike cop. i think oh hell, i'm busted. i slow down when i catch up to traffic, i did try to hide in the traffic, and about a minute later, the cop comes by me, he doesn't even look over at me. whew!!!!!!

not kart related, but me and a friend were playing cops and robbers with black cap guns, and i guess the neighbor saw and called the cops, and 14 cop cars pulled right up to us in my front yard. i got 8 real guns drawn on me. i dropped my plastic weapon and got tackled by like 3 cops. got a disorderly conduct fine :censored: the neighbor is getting payback... :stir:

I was 15. It wasnt worth it to take it court, it would have costed more to do that then to just pay the fine. The cops here are dicks, ive had 2 other fines, for b/s reasons. Also i wouldent sue my neighbor, hell if i was old and saw 2 kids running around pointing real looking guns at eachother i probabily would have done the same thing.
