If the officer has good sense, he wont even try to catch up. You have a 100 mph head start, and the liability is just way too high for the end result, a traffic violation. However, if the unit happened to actually be right behind me, I would pull over. Running just puts the motorcyclist, the officer, and the other motorists at too much risk. Just my 2 cents

I hopefully never have to find out the answer to this question. but it involves too many varriables to answer just yes or no

is the traffic thick? am i near my home? how close is the cop? did he already get my plates?

Until I see lights on my ***, I take the first exit and find some nice quiet back roads. You're not technically running until they've attempted to pull you over...

Pull over if he's behind you. I'd consider it selfish to put the officer and any other vehicles at risk. If you are willing to be going 100+you'd better be willing to deal with potential consequences. If he's not chasing then do whatever. My 2 cents

Here is florida is isnt a traffic Violation after 30+ mph. It turns into a felony and immediate confiscation of the bike and a do not pass go direstly to jail card.

I would do any rider would do, slow down to let him catch up with me, then i'd take off hoping to lose him, then i'd let him catch up, and repeat for the next 200 miles. Then I would put on my cloaking device pull over and let the cop pass me. Easy question try something harder next time.
