I thought this story was going to be about someone from Boiseriders..except there was no wheelie.

Wash. trooper clocks motorcycle at 152 mph on two-lane highway

Anyone know what speed radar guns top out at?

$411 fine and sent on his way, that's all? You've got to be kidding me.

I don't know what the top speed is, but damn $411 ticket and a lecture from the cop. I'm surprised the cop caught him after taking 3 readings with his radar

"Eighty percent of fatal motorcycle collisions are now the fault of the rider," said State Patrol Chief John R. Batiste. "Half of fatal collisions don't even involve a second vehicle."

I'd like to know where he gets these number from.

As for him speeding, hey everyones gotta open their bike up at least once in the springtime!!

i think that's funny, he got caught only doing 152 on a zx-14. If it were me, I would have taken the gamble of informing Johnny Law that "I was actually behaving officer, considering that 152 is not even approaching the 190 I know this bike could do. Aren't you happy that I'm showing some discretion?" :-)

Only if by a 67% chance that a blonde person wearing a Journey t-shirt is within 100 feet of the incident. So my psychic told me.

That's what I was thinking. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt, he was probably going faster than 152 and it was the radar gun that couldn't read any higher.
