September 27, 200422 yr http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6064129/ WABASHA, Minn. - A motorcyclist in Minnesota has been arrested for speeding — while allegedly going faster than 200 mph. The speed limit was 65 mph on U.S. Highway 61 near Wabasha. Police say Samuel Tilley was breaking that limit by 140 mph. They say a state patrol pilot who was flying overhead clocked Tilley doing 205 mph while racing with another motorcyclist. Pilot Al Loney says the bike was traveling nearly twice as fast as his plane. He radioed ahead to another state trooper, who pulled the two cyclists over. Only the faster one was arrested. Tilley is charged with reckless driving and driving without a motorcycle license — in addition to the speeding charge. :lol
September 27, 200422 yr I dont see how thats possible if there are other cars on the road. :notworthy
September 27, 200422 yr please, its not like he was doing 250 in a 65 zone. most that he deserved was a warning.
September 27, 200422 yr Author please, its not like he was doing 250 in a 65 zone. most that he deserved was a warning. 574623[/snapback] That's even being nit-picky, he should have to go at least 200 MPH over the limit before he gets a warning. :plain

September 27, 200422 yr damn. thats just stupid. even nextel cup drivers rarely reach those speeds and when they do its generally just for a couple seconds if that. i wish i could say i envy him...but damn.
September 27, 200422 yr I think he should have raced the cop and if he won, the cop had to pay his ticket.
September 27, 200422 yr I just wonder how the hell he never lost control at 205 MPH on a motorcycle... :o
September 28, 200422 yr Acctually there is a follow up article, I'll try and find it. The guy proved there was no way he was going that fast so he might get off since he was going at 150 and change instead of 200. The cop didn't use a gun, he timed the guy and estimated the speed, so there are legality loops here.
September 28, 200422 yr Yeah, cuz it's against the law to ticket someone for speeding without a reading.
September 28, 200422 yr if he lived in florida, he would go out in the middle of a Hurricane to "check out the scene", that's the type of person this idiot is
