I'm not surprised. You'd go to jail for that here.

To me it looked like a lot of voters being scared, and they will remember it, if someone
wants to pass legislation the rest of us will have to live with.

He was driving a little unsafe passing the cars like that. But I hope they don't find him regardless.

If you want to take the risk and go that fast..go for it. Do it right..at a strip, empty highway but not in conjested traffic, in other words..don't put anyone else at risk!

Well, there aren't that many Lambos in the Phoenix area that DPS couldn't figure out who it belonged to. Turns out it was some dentist.

200MPH at night? I thought dentists were supposed to be smart?

This morning on the radio they were discussing another want-a-bee action figure and one of the announcers brought up this bike video saying that the police had now caught the guy, not sure if it is a rumor.

Oh and the other stunt they were first discussing? Some jerk and his girlfriend decided to post pictures on face book of them siphoning gas from a police car. They have been charged with theft.

On the National last night, they found and ID'd the bike, it is owned by
the supposed rider's mother.
She is being fined $1500. Evidentally he won't be charged, as they can't
prove it was him that was riding it. The fellow has numerous traffic infractions
and has lost his license several times. And does not have a license at the time
this incident was filmed.

Well the smoking gun is there Gerry, who posted it on U-tube, the mother? I Imagine they found him through his IP address.

I didn't hear the whole story, I was walking into the room after the segment had started.
If you can get by the ads the story is in this segment.

Thanks for the link. Seems some of his friends ratted him out after he boasted to them.

Here too, if your caught.

Maybe he needed to be ratted out before he killed himself and or other Innocent people. Over 20 infractions, lost his license 5 times, no license or insurance at the time of the incidence.

He should be locked up, he is obviously irresponsible and a danger to others. Maybe mom should sell the bike and let him take the shoe leather express.

The bike has been impounded and they said on the news "he will never get this bike back. ......If the mother was the reg. owner and has been fined wouldn't she be intitiled to have the bike back? Unless his mother is finished with him too at this point and told the C.O.P.'s to keep the bike.
