    This is very old in fact from sept 2004. Note the court date on the ticket.http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0922042speed1.html

    At 205 MPH, Speed Thrills
    Minnesota biker cited for driving 140 mph over limit
    SEPTEMBER 22--The below Minnesota speeding ticket should be in a museum someplace. That's because motorcyclist Samuel Tilley, 20, was clocked Saturday afternoon going 205 mph on his Honda. That was 140 mph over the limit on U.S. Highway 61. Tilley was clocked at Indy car speeds by a State Patrol pilot flying overhead, stopwatch in hand. The pilot radioed ahead to a state trooper who pulled Tilley over and issued the reckless driving citation. Tilley, the son of a sheriff's deputy, displaces William Faenza at the top of TSG's speediest driver list. Faenza was nabbed last September when Pennsylvania cops clocked him doing 182 mph in his Lamborghini Diablo.

    The guy was riding a Honda RC51, their name or an SP2, no way could it do 205 mph. He was clocked by a cop flying in a plane who used a stopwatch to calculate his speed. B*llocks.

    There is a secondary knock on effect of this type of ticket for any of ye with "Green Cards" on other forms of non-US citizen residency might wish to be aware of.

    Usually these tickets are considered a "felony", and usually result in arrest, etc. and you only need to be going 100+ to get one.

    With security being what it is at the moment, it is possible to be turned away at customs is you have a felony on your record. The guy looking at the screen does not know or care if it was for a speeding ticket or being an Axe murdered.

    Iten 2, the figure of $215 looks pretty cheap for the thrill.
