I seen a video on streetfire.net where a cop is parked on the side of a road and a Suzuki Hayabusa flys right by him doing like 190mph... Cop just sits there and does nothing lol. Good luck trying to catch that guy!

I remember that story. There is no way in hell he was going 205mph though. I believe he was riding an RC51. He should have fought it.

Yup. I got caught doing 120 in a 70. Cost me 9 hours in Galveston County Jail, $330 in court costs & $272 to get my bike out of impound.
