An unlicensed rider of a “Honda 1000” was arrested September 18 for riding at 205 mph on U.S. Highway 61 near Wabasha, Minnesota, according to the September 21 online edition of the St. Paul (Minnesota) Pioneer Press.

The 20-year-old rider, who is the son of a law enforcement officer, was hand-timed over a marked quarter-mile distance by a Highway Patrol pilot flying overhead. The elapsed time was converted into 205 mph by the pilot.

The posted speed limit was 65 mph.

I call BS on the cop. A motogp bikes cost around $1 million and can go just over 200mph. I contend that there is no possible way to make a CBR1000 go 205.

You know what they say about the B.S. you read on the internet..... It's usually B.S.


In 93 I was arrested for Speeding in excess of 130mph...
The State Trooper informed me his radar only went up to 130mph. They can't calibrate radar to speeds higher than that because they read some type of frequency. Radar guns (at least back then) are actually calibrated with tuning forks set at specific frequencies.

Now days Laser is coming on the scene... It is only acurrate if the person using it is at a perfect standstill.... As far as a stopwatch goes start and stop points are points that are not regulated unless the person rides over a trip sensor....

Stop watches don't hold up in Court....

I really appreciated this quote from the paper, and so will you:

"The culprit turned out be Samuel Armstrong Tilley, 20, of Stillwater, who is either completely goofy or is a professional, there often being little distinction if you have seen a professional drag his knee around an S-curve."

The Wild Bunch syndrome lives on...

OK, call it 185. This is not good for motorcyclists, and gets the anti-sport biking blood running hot.

Moral of the story: Never try to run a chopper (at least the kind that is designed primarily for flight).
