    That is the one thing we always tried to warn the guys in the motorcycle club about. They always though they could out run the cops. And yes, i can out run 1 cop car, but you can't out run the radio.

    Burgman put that bitch on a track and you will never have the urge to speed on the streets again and you won't have to worry about the popo giving you tickets.

    I learned along time ago to stop and take your lumps. Running will only get you into more trouble. (learned that as a kid in dealing with parents, but same philosophy works with cops).

    After my first time putting my fathers Porsche on the track I didn't care for driving fast on the road, there is no comparison.

    I'll be honest with you guys

    I don't believe driving on a track would hold any comparison for running code 3 to a hot call

    it's one thing to run 120-150 on an open track

    it's another to drive as fast as you can safely while dodging 23423423 idiots on the road while your adrenaline is blowing thru the roof because an officer is in a fight for his life and screaming for help

    nothing will ever touch that rush i dont think

    Exactly. You can go balls to the wall and no one can tell you no (unless the track officials think your being a dumbass). On the bike there is no better feeling than 100 mph with your knee dragging the ground through turn 3 at Heartland Park Raceway. :D

    2.5 hours... Been there once to watch a super moto race. That was insane, knew a guy that worked for a Honda House and got free tics. Ended up getting drunk,19yrs old, and having one of the besr days of my life. Those bikes flew, they ran 3 different groups, 600, 1000 and unlimited

    The closest track to me is 2 hours away and it was flooded last year so i'm not sure if it will come back. The next tracks from there are 5-6 hours. Still worth every penny to go and have a blast at the track.

    If i got a call from a family member about somehing like that i would do the same.

    When i was in middle school my grandad had his first heart attack. They lived in bfe, mom was going 100 down I85 called the cops and told them what we were doing they said without him in the truck they couldnt stop us from being stopped. Didnt see any cops on a usual speed trap. Got to him and raced him to where a ambulance met us

    Need a track car tho... 2 ton m35x is not the right car, has a weird traction control too. Awd kicks in under hard cornering but means it doesnt engage until you have compensated for the rear sliding, half way through the turn. Dont ask me how i know this
