I've had trouble with those darn French coppers too.In about July 1975 my wife and I were just getting into our tour of Europe on the trusty 850 Commando.We were cruising along a country road at about 70-75 mph when a Gendarme stepped out from the bushes and gave me an imperious"Alt"salute.I briefly thought about stopping but then saw his corrugated tin pursuit vehicle on the side road and thought ,bugger it , and opened the throttle a little more.Missus shouts to stop cos they've got guns and he might shoot. "Won't hit me " I replied as I gunned it a bit more.Man was I in the***** after that.
Darn French cops.

I see the french copper was about as effective as the Maginot line.
