  Yep. Can get a 600cc sport bike for not much. Of course, you also have, like, a 50% chance of death if you try to outrun the cops on it.

  Otoh, iirc the cops in my area just have a standing order to not chase bikes that run. Too much chance of someone getting dead, which is more paperwork and bad pr than they want to deal with.

    And two bags of fuel so you can refuel on your way to Mexico!

  Not always true, but outrunning the helicopter is damn close to not doable.

  Still agree with the motorcycle.

    Outrunning the chopper is more about endurance. Or its a lotus carlton and it just… leaves the chopper behind and disappears into the night.

    40RA was one of the most prolific getaway cars in britain.

    This is the way.

  Agreed. Depending on the offence you committed and where you are, the cops might give up the chase rather than risk you killing innocent bystanders or yourself, because it’s not worth the risk.

  There’s nothing faster than Motorola.
