🕯You fought the law and the law won,ha,ha.😁 Good job EPD.
The nicer weather seems to bring out the worst
in the worst people.
Good job EPD.
If this is an example of “the worst in the worst people”, you have lived a sheltered life.
I’m not advocating running from the cops, but… even a slow bike, like one of mine that topped out at 73mph on a loooooong straight away, should’ve been able to evade them. That area has a lot of hard left & right turns, lots of short straights where a bike can get up to speed much quicker that a car, lots of pot holes a bike could miss but a car couldn’t avoid, a few twisties even. Once in town, even easier, as long as one doesn’t mind hopping curbs, going through parks, etc. I suspect the rider was trying to dump some evidence. Once that was out of possession, he stopped.
As fast as a bike may be, they are not faster than a radio.
An experienced rider on a full size bike, no question. The car doesn’t have a chance in a dense area. Bridge to town is pretty straight on a highway, likely within close sight the whole time.
They race thru Manila all the time, glad one got caught finally… thank you EPD!
