Okay guys, lemme give you MY insight, and I have some since I AM a cop. First there's a MONSTROUS difference between a speeding ticket and a potential criminal charge of dangerous driving plus HTA offences like Fail to Stop for Police and careless driving. Personally, I'll take the speeding ticket.
God forbid you ever do run and crash, which is proven to be the case in a scary proportion of motorcycle chases. People get excited and try to overdrive their abilities... not me making this up, it's TRUE.
Imagine trying to get a vehicle insured down the road. Imagine losing your licence. Imagine losing control and crashing bad. It just ain't worth it.
People in general (bikes or cars) who do it aren't thinking. Period. You're so focussed on getting away that you are putting lives at risk (most notably yours). Your judgement is all off.
Like you said, cops have manpower, radio, video, the ability to "call" a chase from a central location with maps and a thought process, and more importantly if you're on a bike, less to lose. Having said that, I personally would never initiate a dangerous chase with a bike while on duty but I'd do my best to i.d. you or at least grab your plate.
Hope you guys don't think I'm preaching at you, it wasn't my goal, but I mean, what's a ticket compared to the possible consequences of trying to run? The truth is, most chases end up BAD for the driver, and normally in a short period of time. It just ain't worth it.
Again, apologies, had to be said.
