Re: CBR 1000RR sets new speeding ticket record
205 on a public road. God Bless Him. He deserves the ticket regardless if it was 168 or 205. But a Lightly modded street bike ain't gonna go that fast.
Branyon, you had to bring up parralax didn't you? I think the aircrafts altitude/speed/point of reference might have somthing to do with a descrepancy but more likley the start/stop on the lines on the ground. .5 second error on the stop watch would lower top speed from 205 to around 180 and a whole second descrepancy drops it to around 168-170 so ...

Good thing he wasn't in South Dakota and running into a politician's car at that speed and killing someone...
He'll probably serve more time, knowing our justice system.

So.. as it turns out, it was an RC51 "heavily modified" with a slip-on.

Re: CBR 1000RR sets new speeding ticket record
Yeah, VASCAR works and holds up, etc. I got a ticket in AZ with it.
Just as the officers are trained to use radar and lidar, they are trained to use VASCAR. The road is marked with stripes and they fly up behind you and keep the same distance/angle from you and clock you when you pass the start and end points, therefore, keeping parralax to a minumum.
After they got a speed on me, They sent a trooper out to write me up. I actuall saw the trooper WAY in advance and slowed down, but it was too late by then.
Oh well
