Dyno test reveal there's no way the bike could go that fast unless there was a hurricane at his back,but the State Patrol refuses to change their story. The kid plead not guily today in court: (http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/5050395.html)

Al Gore Jr. strikes again.

The prosecutor said he has worked with the State Patrol pilot who clocked Tilley, and respects his professional skills.

If that Honda was going 205 MPH then the State Patrol Cessna was going 410 MPH. Nay to both, dismiss the case.

That's probably the motorcycle John Kerry used to go from his fundraiser in Boston to Game 6 of the 1986 World Series where he got there just in time to watch Bill Buckner bobble the ball 30 feet away.

Anyone with half a brain would have looked at his calculation and realized he screwed up. This cop make a first class fool of himself.

So he pleads not guilty to going 205mph (which is impossible) and proves that he could in no way been going more than 150mph what will the judge do?

I've been to traffic court. I'll tell you how it will go. The judge will pretend to listen to both sides, and say "it is your word against the officer's, and I have no reason to believe that the police officer is lying."

In traffic court, you are not innocent until proven guilty. You are guilty, and must prove your innocence. If it is your word against the word of a police officer, you are the liar. It doesn't matter if the officer is wrong. You have to prove him a liar. That's how it has worked every time I've been in traffic court.

That kid was riding a CBR-1000-RR, it has about 160 BHP and weighs about 430 lbs. In stock trim it has gone 173 mph, so while it isn't likely he was going 205 mph. With the right tweaking that bike is capable of that kind of speed.

Was he wearing his Seatbelt?

28 yrs. ago I tried telling the judge that I wasn't going the ticketed "in excess of 100 mph", but less than 85 mph.

Not much symphathy....
