205......holy Crap

[IronReload04]

See the guy that got a ticket for going 205 on the bike??

****

That guy that was riding the bike was interviewed by a local radio station after the incident. It turns out that he was "only" going 165 mph at top speed. The guy even went to a dealership to have the bike dynoed and a top speed estimate that proved that he couldn't reach 205mph. Seems that the cops clocking technique was a little off. I guess the cop was in a spotter plane and was also clocking another motorcycle at the same time. It will be interesting to see if that is enough to get him out of the ticket or not. I mean despite the fact that he wasn't going 205, he was definetly going over the speed limit.

i got a ticket at 568mph in a neon..i swear..

it was the R version, right? took out the radio and a/c and bumped up the engine by 3hp? that's sick, bro

lol, that's so not true. Displacement does not begat speed. You could put a V8 in it and gear it poorly and an 600 would smoke it.
