    Meh. Some bloke hit 170+ on Lake Shore Drive in Chicago a few years back on his Yamaha. This is more impressive because LSD is a dodgy minefield of shoddy patch jobs and potholes.

    Rumor has it the guy was hired on by Yamaha as a test rider...

    @alexander_the_car_salamander: I watched the police appear from thin air a couple of times when I visited Scotland earlier this year. They don't so much patrol like they do in the states... you get a definite creepy 1984 vibe from it sometimes.

    @klaud: Sure it does: October 28, when actual sentencing has been rescheduled. Third sentence from the end.

    Of course, at that point, they may go ahead and impose a lifetime ban afterall..

    @beercheck: There is scope in sentencing guidelines for a custodial sentence at this sort of speed. If they're prosecuted him for speeding and the Procurator Fiscal has asked that dangerous or reckless driving be considered, he could go to jail.
