Noob lurker here. You stunt on a cross-plane R1??? Is it stock gearing and did you buy it w/ damage or something?

I don't stunt, I race. Bike came with the cage. Previous owner dropped it before, broke front left fork boot and scratched up the tank a bit.

Man that is crazy I live in DFW area and regularly cruise around at 100+ on the Freeway and rarely see state troopers
19
George Bush is my haven. That’s where they got me at, or at least started following me with the chopper. I couldn’t believe that shit either. Usually I’ll just run or do fly-bys on them for fun but this time it was no joke lol. HMU if you ever wanna ride.

Remind me to stay out of DFW. Austin usually just blip light/siren at me if I'm going fast enough. Austin policy:
Officers will not engage in a pursuit under any of the following circumstances:
(a) The subject evades after having committed only:
- Any Class C Offense, including traffic; or
- A non-hazardous traffic violation, regardless of the class of offense.
Of course, Dallas PD says:
\ 3. An officer may initiate a pursuit under the following circumstances:
a. When the officer has probable cause to believe that a felony involving the use or threat of physical force or violence has been, or is about to be, committed, and the officer reasonably believes that the immediate need to apprehend the offender outweighs the risk to any person of collision, injury or death, or
b. to assist another law enforcement agency that has initiated a pursuit under the same circumstances.
c. All other pursuits are prohibited.

R1

Got pulled over in Vanderpool and had three squad cars pull up. They thought we were gonna run but no fuckin way I’d try running on an fz09. Got us for going 96 in a 65. Luckily we’d slowed down because I was going 115 not two minutes prior.

did u get a ticket?
3
Oh yes lol, if he’d clocked me in triple digits pretty sure we’d have gone to jail.

They’ve been ridiculous out near the sisters and PR37 lately. Heard a month or two back they had 3 guys in cuffs face in the grass, I’m sure for speeding.
1
Not enough top end on the Fz?
1
Haha hell no, especially when they had two other troopers waiting around the bend. My boy was on a z650, not enough on that either.

Air control we gotta live one! Stunt bike no plates! Davey Crochet Crotch Rocket play that shit!

3 State Trooper squad cars and a chopper, all for lil’ ole me. Texas by the way.
dang how’d they get ya
Hypothetically I was going to run, then I seen a chopper, and it turned out to be their's lol. Good thing I didn't. They gave me a BS ticket for no plates even though I purchased the vehicle no more than 30 days ago. They were following me in the sky for a while too, named where I was 10 minutes prior to the stop.
haha wtf america police are crazy.
All that money to keep a chopper in the air to catch... speeders?
Too much funding man.
A lot of that has more to do with bureaucratic red tape than actual law enforcement. Pilots have to log x amount of hours per week/month/year (can't remember the interval) to maintain their license. A lot of it gets spent doing fun training exercises like manuevering traffic cones with the skids, but I'd guess something like this is kind of like, ground patrol: "hey you guys busy? Got a stunt biker out here with no plate, thinking he might try to run" air patrol: "just flying in circles to make my hours, be there in 5". Still absurdly wasteful, but not necessarily for the reasons people assume.
What if it was already there... already going to fly around, and needed something to do? So he chased a biker.
Or yeah, whatever scenario you envisioned.
Helicopters are good for an hour and a half tops with the crew in it due to stringent weight management. They also usually can't fly much over 100 mph so you have to outrun them. Even if at slow speeds burn their fuel as much as possible. Then go duck into the woods and you''re gone.
good to know!
If that's true then stateside day to day heli ops are super restricted. I've done 200mph as a passenger in a UH-60 doing map of the earth. We flew a lot longer than 1.5 hrs too.
he stopped
We need to start flying helis so we can run from the cops faster.
Although the Air Force has pretty quick airplanes with really quick missiles.
