I take it you meant talk to the cop?
In your paragraph, "Him" is referring to the 22yr old speeding on residential streets, big guy. 6/10 - correct and resubmit.
Worry less about my riding/comprehension.

NO, I wasn't with him when he died. I think he was riding alone that day. But we did ride together in groups and he wasn't a daredevil or anything. In fact, he rides pretty much within the speed limits on those rides we were together. He is a relatively new rider, only got his gixxer last summer, had a ninja 250 prior.
Whatever that is in that police report I cannot comment since I wasn't there. But I have never seen him swerve through traffic and doubling the speed limits on any of the rides we rode together.
Maybe it was a bad decision. The point I wanted to make is that a lot of people have this idea that as long as you speed up, a police cruiser will not give chase because they had been instructed never to chase a motorcycle. Perhaps as an informal rule or perhaps they fear that the rider will fall and kill himself and they could lose their job. Whichever the case maybe. As we know now, this is a FALSE belief. A cop CAN chase and WILL chase!
All I am saying is, DON'T RUN FROM THE COPS!! ITS NOT WORTH RISKING YOUR LIFE!!

The guy is a troll and a goof. He probably doesn't even know considering his responses.
you're correct here, the orange speed limit signs are only advisory; they can not be enforced!
unfortunately, what this also means is that the courts will default to 50kph/80kph in ON; so if you're on a residential street and see an orange 30kph sign... technically it's 50kph zone... i'm guessing on-ramps they default to 80kph zone
It's truly officer discretion but the courts default to the 50/80 when people are given tickets for advisory limits like the on-ramp, see Durham (Regional Municipality) v. Snowden, 2012 ONCJ 676 (CanLII)

Running home: R. v. Armstrong, 2011 ONCJ 325 (CanLII)
-- he was clocked at 155 in a 80, police chased him to his house...
"Officer was able to grab his shirt and tell that him he was under arrest for “stunt driving”. Being much the larger, he shrugged her off and said, “**** you, this is private property” and hurried into his house. Armstrong says his doors were unlocked but finicky. Officer says he locked her out"...
needless to say the rest of the story was ROFL--

"In the officer’s words, “He was well above the speed limit. There’s no question in my mind. He was flying. It doesn’t take much for those sports bikes to achieve great speeds.” In cross examination, he stated, “… and when he took off like a rocket, that’s when I obtained the reading with the speed measuring device.”...

I don't judge people for speeding, I only judge when they get busted and then complain as if the cops were in the wrong to interrupt their speeding.
I also think the idea that SS=certain speeding is dumb and bound to get bikers in trouble. SS should equal Selective Speeding.
Very well put.
This year's batch of M1ers are very bad ass and highly misinformed.
An SS is capable of outrunning just about everything. The rider on the other hand is the weak link, but hey, we're ALL PRO right?

In regards to the ramp speed signs. Those are advisories for the corner, speed limit down the ramp is 100. However, doesn't mean that as soon as you hit the ramp lane from the road you are leaving you should be doing 100, as that would probably get ticketed. Once the ramp is clearly diverged from the road you are leaving I would say it's safe to speed up.
The new Twin Turbo Police Interceptors can keep up. Don't ask how I know and no I did not run from anyone

How do you know?
Published stats. And no I did not break in a police station to get them
Are we talking about Ford Taurus SHO's? I thought cops only had regular V6 N/A versions of those.
Either way they'll take forver to get to that speed.

good read indeed
You heard wrong. They are twin turbo V6 which spits out around 385 hp.
These cars are fast. And handle well.
And this isnt something " ive heard " like most of the crap in this thread.
How do you know?
Maybe I have PC friends that got assigned the new vehicles and showed me, maybe I even did a rolling acceleration test next to my 675. Then again maybe I'm totally full of crap.
This. Rumours were that the N/A V6 is what were being ordered, from what I've been told none of the services opted for anything other than the Twin Turbo version
Will read later...
