German Shepherd Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 Allright I have a story for you guys of how I messed up. Ok here is how it goes. I month ago my buddy calls me up and wants to go riding. He had a 2004 cr 125. He talks me into going and also riding on the street. I had an 01 banshee with the below done to it. Now to get down to the gravel pit hills we would ride up the road (in town) and then take alleys to get down to the Rail road tarcks. And then from the tracks we would take a long trail threw a no atv park and then drive a little on the street. But this time we drove the street the whole way. It is about a mile stretch of (high way but its not a highway) type road. We were one city block on it and we see a cop pulling out. I am in 5th gear and in front, my buddy is behind me by like 15 yards. I top it out into 6th and fly down the road. Then by the stop light I slow down, he passes me goes about 100 yards in front of me and then turns into a park. Now I slam on my breaks and slide for about 50 yards before I turn into the park. Now in the park it is about 1 and a half car width paved path with a fence on both sides. I hit all my gears wrong in the park and I drive 2nd for a while then hit 3rd. Now I turn around and the cop is about 4 inches from making contact with my rear. LET ME TELL YOU THAT WAS EXTREMLY SCARY! While I am riding 3rd my buddy is way ahead of me to the point where I cant see him. I am very scared b/c It is slipery and I do not want to get killed by the cop. So I continue down the path and at the end it either goes up a hill to the left to a club or to the right down a hill into grass i.e. not paved. I turn down into the grass and I see my buddys cr laying there with the rear wheel spining. He flew into the river. I see him get up and try to get the water out of his goggles. The cop then comes flying down and hits my buddies bike, and then a tree. I seen my buddie was ok so I continued down the trail that we usually took. I get to the end and cross the street onto the rail road tracks. I was extremly surprised that there was no one there to cut me off. I then road 6th gear on the rr tracks and hid down there for a while. I ended up getting away only to find the cops at my house the next day. I also ended up selling it before the cops could get to me for 2500.00 . I got fingerprinted and charged with the following: REAP "Reclass endangerment of another person, no license, no registration, no insurance, evading arest. Now I took a huge loss 2500 for an 01 in exretmly good shape with work done to it. I mean sikloene everything the best of everything. My point behind this story is if you are caught pull over. ITS NOT WORTH RUNNING!!! Luckly I was only 17 when this happened and considered a minor. I am getting probation, fines, and half the cost to fix the 04 crown vic. He ended up sellinbg his 04 cr125 for 2900.00 ITS NOT WORTH IT!!! Please learn from my misteak. I MISS MY BANSHEE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
German Shepherd Posted September 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 By the way my buddy could have died in a few ways, 1 he could have been laying with his bike and been hit by the car, 2 he could have got knoked out and drowned and when he feel he was in 5 th gear. What would you do if your buddy rated you out? I miss my banshee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nater006 Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 (edited) It sounds like you just got stuck with bad luck. My motto is that if you know where you're going and weren't being a dick or doing anything totally out of the normal, run like hell.. run like hell. edit: oh yeah, forgot to mention. evading an officer is a felony in Michigan. kinda throws a damper on things..

MX Black Beauty Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 Did you say your buddy narked on you that's how the cops caught you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
German Shepherd Posted September 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 Yes my buddy ratted me out t. I seen his statement that he wrote to the cops and my name was all over it. He said that the whole thing was my fault and my idea, and said that when we seen the sop that I yelled GO GO GO. Thats impossible because we were both wearing full face helmets and he had loud pipes and my pipes were semi loud not to mention he was way behind me. I actually had it sold before the cops came to my house the next day. I could have lied and said that I sold it to someone and it was them riding and not me...... oh well i guess I know who is not my friend now .

Nightrider Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 It sucks that you have to learn the hard way,You were probably one of those idiots who thought they would never get caught.The idiots that are constantly running from cops when they see them. Then when someone like me,who's tooling 15 mph down a rural road with one tire on and one off the road gets pulled over,stops immediately,display all the right paperwork and they still tow the quad. Assholes like you are the reason cops give respecting law abiding citizens like me and others a hard time.I would say I feel sorry for your situation,but people like you are ruining the sport of atving. Just like the Biker gangs of the 60-70's.Even today,people have very little respect for bikers.No one remembers the good you have done,but they'll never forget the bad.Do your part to help promote this sport,not destroy it.

You don't find out who your true friends are until push really comes to shove. What's that quote again.... A good friend will bail you out of jail, while a true friend will sit beside you in the cell and say "man, that was cool as f***". But, anyway, it does sound like you got a bum deal. I guess the moral of the story is to keep everything as legal as possible so if you do have to stop, the man can't stick it to ya too badly. Or, keep an extra different colored set of plastics around for those days and run like hell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meat Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 (edited) What would you do if your buddy rated you out? Dude you got the shaft.... first of all NEVER admit anything to the cops. I realize your buddy did the admitting, but NEVER EVER EVER talk to the cops. Get a lawer instead. Now about your rat buddy. Never talk to him again, tell EVERYONE that he is a nark and if you ever get the chance..... kick his crybaby rat ass. All he had to say to the cops was "he didnt know who was on the Banshee". This buddy can never be trusted ever again. Nothing worse than a nark. Edited September 27, 2004 by Meat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crbanshee Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 ok for starters if im running from cops on a banshee im going to head for an area that the car wont be able to go..and second if my so called friend rats me out when he gets caught then he is no longer a friend and will be eating through a straw for quite a long time. and everyone that knew him would know that he is a rat and not to be trusted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
