If it is a game of life or death, I'd run and doubt I would be caught, but remember the car only has to 'tag' the bike and your life could be over in an instant. It would be a rare case for me to run. Some drivers/cars/suv's are just damn fast. I might not run from UP's bad ass Chevy SS (nah, I'd probably still run) Bikers like to believe they are so much faster than the cars. The reality is, on backroads, your only advantage is acceleration. Braking is about the same for bike/car. Cornering - car has advantage. One category is a push, the other two are split. Yet the rider has so much more risk. Advantage - sporty car. Chris
