BSeevers Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Brian Don't get pulled over before you fix it. You might have a warrant and if its a weekend capture, maybe a few days in the pokey. PS Call if you need bail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chriss Grube Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Remind me to do a warrant check on you before Nationals. Might find a way to write the trip of yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDH Posted July 17, 2004 Author Share Posted July 17, 2004 The latest.... I spoke with the 'CLERK' at the County court..... supposedly, they made a 'NOTATION' ... in 'THEIR CUMPUTER'... that I had 'at least' tried to pay for breaking the LAW!! As long as I sent the certified check, they should be able to keep me 'out a jail'.... Spent my time... spent my money... went to the BANK to get something that CLINTON County Ohio could deal with... funds in the mail.... As long as the USPS cooperates, I MAY be a free man soon.....

tewlman Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 i just read the orginal post on this thread, and must share my particluar speeding to a match story. Last year while at the 3g nats 3 out of the 4 of us got speeding tickets. Two were at the same time! cop comes up to to our vehicle and motions for us to follow while he proceeds to pull our friends over in the lead vehicle and writes tickets to both That was in In, the other was while i was driving in Hannibal. That trip cost us about 325 total in "speeding taxes" Unfortunately, that wasn't as bad as our gambling loses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeFoley Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Tewlman, we're gonna get those losses back next week. We'll probably never recover the speeding taxes though. Just one more example of living on the edge in this sport. Besides, we got to find out your middle name, and that was worth $100 each. God speed and so do we.

BDH Posted September 7, 2004 Author Share Posted September 7, 2004 That trip cost us about 325 total in "speeding taxes" You guys weren't even close to the record on this one! If I remember correctly, the Team Shroom guys got nailed on the way to either the 2002 or 2003 Nationals in Oregon, doing something like 110 in a 55 (or maybe it was 65). I thought they told me that it cost them five or six hundred bucks. What was funny was that they seemed cool with it and said that they were just glad they got caught AFTER they had slowed down!!

wide45 Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 The other time they got stopped, not only did they talk the Cop out of writing the ticket, they got him to pose for pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tewlman Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 onw day last year at the nats , we are leaving pasa, headed back to hannibal. We left the range and got stuck behind a dualie leaving the range also. We are thinking this guys gonna be slow, but can't pass. Well we start getting the speed up and next thing you now we're running 100+. all of a sudden the radar gones nuts, my friend hits the brakes and we pass the hwy patrol. he swings a big u-turn in the road and hits the lights, then blows past us andnails the guy in the dualie. not sure who he was, but i know he was a vendor, and had a truck load of powder and primers. hope he didn't get in too much trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDH Posted September 8, 2004 Author Share Posted September 8, 2004 tewlman, I assume they are using instant on guns in IL. Can you confirm that?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErikW Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Mongo impressed... Sep 22, 7:37 AM (ET) WABASHA, Minn. (AP) - With a State Patrol airplane overhead, a motorcyclist hit the throttle and possibly set the informal record for the fastest speeding ticket in Minnesota history: 205 mph. On Saturday afternoon, State Patrol pilot Al Loney was flying near Wabasha, in southeastern Minnesota on the Wisconsin border, watching two motorcyclists racing along U.S. Highway 61. When one of the riders shot forward, Loney was ready with his stopwatch. He clicked it once when the motorcycle reached a white marker on the road and again a quarter-mile later. The watch read 4.39 seconds, which Loney calculated to be 205 mph. "I was in total disbelief," Loney told the St. Paul Pioneer Press for Tuesday's editions. "I had to double-check my watch because in 27 years I'd never seen anything move that fast." Several law enforcement sources told the newspaper that, although no official records are kept, it was probably the fastest ticket ever written in the state. After about three-quarters of a mile, the biker slowed to about 100 mph and let the other cycle catch up. By then Loney had radioed ahead to another state trooper, who pulled the two over soon afterward. The State Patrol officer arrested the faster rider, 20-year-old Stillwater resident Samuel Armstrong Tilley, for reckless driving, driving without a motorcycle license - and driving 140 miles per hour over the posted speed limit of 65 mph. A search of speeding tickets written by state troopers, who patrol most of the state's highways, between 1990 and February 2004 shows the next fastest ticket was for 150 mph in 1994 in Lake of the Woods County. Tilley did not return calls from the newspaper to his home Monday. A working number for him could not immediately be found by The Associated Press on Tuesday. Only a handful of exotic sports cars can reach 200 mph, but many high-performance motorcycles can top 175 mph. With minor modifications, they can hit 200 mph. Tilley was riding a Honda 1000, Loney said. Kathy Swanson of the state Office of Traffic Safety said unless Tilley was wearing the kind of protective gear professional motorcycle racers wear, he was courting death at 200 mph. "I'm not entirely sure what would happen if you crashed at 200 miles per hour," Swanson said. "But it wouldn't be pretty, that's for sure."

diehli Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Niiiiiiiice. Musta been a turbocharged 1100XX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear1142 Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Got me beat. The fastest guy I ever chased was around 175 mph. He was riding a Honda CBR 900 RR than had been worked for racing. He told me he could do the standing 1/4 mile in about 8 seconds at 145 mph. Catching him is a whole other story. Erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 It's pretty hard to beat the speed of light and the other officer down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehli Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/a.../205_mph_ticket RC51 won't hit 205. Grab one of Colin Edwards' old bikes and I doubt it'd hit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Norman Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Interesting about the 205 on a cycle. The officer watches him accelerate, hits the start and stop in 4.30 as the rider crosses into and out of a measured 1/4 mile. THat calculates teh AVERAGE speed as 205. If the rider was accelerating as the story seems to indicate, then he was going even faster when he exited the 1/4. Just how fast is the rocket bike?
