All i have to say to the cops is ha ha you bit(hes.
NEBRASKA CITY, Neb. - Speeding is not necessarily reckless, even at 128 mph, a judge ruled in the case of a motorcyclist who tried to flee from state troopers.
With some reluctance, County Judge John Steinheider ruled last week that Jacob H. Carman, 20, was not guilty of reckless driving on Sept. 5, when he was spotted by a trooper who then chased him at the top speed of his cruiser's odometer — 128 mph.
"As much as it pains me to do it, speed and speed alone is not sufficient to establish reckless driving," the judge told Carman on Friday. "If you had had a passenger, there would be no question of conviction. If there had been other cars on the roadway, if you would've went into the wrong lane or anything, I would have convicted you."
Otoe County prosecutor David Partsch acknowledged that Carman could have been charged with speeding but, "We felt that the manner in which he was operating the motorcycle was reckless."
Carman didn't get off entirely. He was fined $300 for expired tags and other violations

Re: Ftp!
haha so that sets a precident for the rest of us...
As long as we don't cross the lanes, don't have a passenger, no oncomming traffic, we won't get a wreckless ticket!
But what if there was a group of bikes flying home from a truckstop resturant after eating the sloppiest wet burrito in human history and they all had to go boom boom???
haha
