Man arrested for going 140 mph over limit
Wabasha, MN, Sep. 21 (UPI) -- The Minnesota State Patrol pilot couldn't believe his stopwatch when he clocked a motorcycle on U.S. 61 traveling at 205 mph.
"I was in total disbelief," Al Loney told Tuesday's St. Paul (Minn.) Pioneer Press. "I had to double-check my watch because, in 27 years, I'd never seen anything move that fast."
In fact, Looney said the motorcycle was traveling faster than his airplane.
Loney radioed another state trooper, who stopped the two motorcyclists Saturday and arrested the faster rider, Samuel Armstrong Tilley, 20, for reckless driving, driving without a motorcycle license -- and driving 140 mph over the speed limit.

typical media "Honda 1000" which could describe about 5000
models.
no way it was stock and no way was it going 205.
fuzzy math.

205 mph? Back in the seventies (statutes of limitations) I drove a GTX at 160 mph down I-271 in Ohio and it got my attention. That guy had to be cooking!

A Stopwatch? I question the timing of this...

Reckless driving? No one could afford to be 'reckless' at that speed ... not even a tiny bit!

There was a car passed a speed trap on I-85 north of Atlanta
several years ago. The radar or whatever device they were using had a max out indicator of 220 mph.
A car went by that maxxed out the speedgun. The cops never even tried to follow and never knew what kind of car it was.
The guess was a Ferrari or such.
