2 riders caught by OPP

[Rob MacLennan]

And not to mention all the charges that *may* get tacked on to that e.g. resisting arrest, assault, etc. seeing that once you get caught (whether they catch you and cuff you or collect your still-breathing broken body from the side of the road), the po po isn't going to be in an overly-friendly mood and the takedown isn't going to be gentle.

Still get a good laugh that there are people out there that think they're Ghostrider and believe the odds are in their favour in outrunning the law...

For a competent, thinking, and experienced rider they actually are in their favour. The possible outcome, however, is not something I'd be willing to risk on the odds.

Ahhh, but that's the catch, isn't it though - you need to be competent, thinking AND a experienced rider.

I'd wager that many who run may have at most 2 out of those 3 qualifications, which invariably leads to disaster given that all 3 have to be present to make you a Ghostrider-type...

Not arguing that it can't be done, just saying that a lot of folks who do run are lacking in the traits you list.

I almost edited my post to add that point, but figured people would pick up on it anyway

running or not running, to some the outcome is just as costly...
