Luckily, MC police on the continent ride RT1200

[911Viking]

I heard yesterday about somebody passing a MC police parked road side in Belgium in a Nine Excelence 9E25 with 280 kph, the driver put his foot down and went into 300+ kph land and disappeared. Sometimes I wonder why motorway MC police on the continent doesn't ride something faster than RT1200

nothing is faster than radio waves ...

Probably because they have radios, and chums further up the road.

I know someone who was chased after a 170MPH blat. The Police chased him but couldn't keep up, the driver presumed they had radio'd ahead so turned off around the back doubles never to be seen again!

Supercar -v- Traffic Volvo = FAIL!

I wouldn't be so confident pulling that move on the other side of the Atlantic.

Some of their chargers are absurdly conservative on their officially published hp and top end. Even in a 1000hp 9 second Mustang they were the one thing you were never entirely confident of being able to outrun if you were so inclined. A belief that was only reinforced when an Ohio state trooper gave me a very interesting look under the hood of his intercept car at Mid-Ohio one evening!

I suppose in Europe it'd have to be one of the UK Hayabusas, or perhaps one of the non-show Lambo blood transfer cars(for whatever reason that would be pursuing someone)?

light waves?

the best thing about the continental-police-issue RT1200 MC is the side-mounted-gun-compartment

same speed relatively, but light can't pass through walls unless they are transparent

I beg to differ here chaps. After my recent bout of food poisoning nothing is faster than diarrhoea!

Did you travel forwards in time after each bout ?

Indeed! It seemed like I'd been reincarnated to the fairer sex and every visit had the seat down.
