170mph POLICE

Sorry to be kill joy but I wouldnt have been doing that sort of speed on a public road - motorway or otherwise! Police wouldnt give chase at that kind of silly speed anyway.

There are plenty of trackdays and airfields around for that sort of speed where the risks are not so great and fewer, if any at all, lives are at risk.

The Police would not need a plate. A simple check with the Police computer, connected to the DVLA's network and they can get a list of cars/bikes owned in the area by colour/make etc. Then its just a case of finding you. Sadly to say that if the cop car was equipped with on-board camera its just a case of matching any distinguishing marks/wheels or features on the car/bike and they gotcha!!

you really have to be a complete idiot to do 170mph on the public highway and think "if (you) can actually drive/ride, this isnt a problem".

you will normally get away with it, but it is extremely dangerous with other innocent road users lives.

even really good race drivers...gilles villeneuve, dale earnhardt, joey dunlop, randy mamola, etc etc etc etc have come unstuck even in safer environments and with lots of skill.

christ here we feckin go again, the non bikers having a go for doing big speeds down a straight road. sanctimonious shite. i dont believe for one minute that the vast majority of you havnt at least seen 150mph in your evos or whatever. as for doing 170mph plus or whatever down a straight road with low traffic endangering other road users, what a complete lot of pish.
btw getting back to the original question i dont and wouldnt stop if spotted by the cops travelling at that speed (the very few times ive done it) why bother? they ban you for doing 100mph no matter what the conditions and id lose my business house etc and go to jail so why give them the satisfaction?
looking forward to hopping it up on the back wheel later today down a nice quiet stretch and maybe break the speed limit, shocking isnt it

No beard, not as sad as you may think just adverse to the '**** strain' of bikers after one of those muppets slammed into my grandads car at 165mph at 3pm on the Wirral a few years back. Sadly a perfectly healthy member of my family was comatosed as a result.

Yes I'm sure I break the speed limit from time to time but not by such ridiculous margins and certainly not in built up areas.

Cheers for the insults - nice to see we're all so grown up and responsible eh?!

Mate sorry to hear about your grandad, but i was not in a built up area and it was 2.30am in the morning on a Motorway where i could see plenty in front of me. i could say the same about car drivers as my Brother was killed in 1985 on his bike by a car driver, BUT I DONT.
