Default Dude cruising at 160mph on Lake Shore Drive in Chicago this morning at 2am on a Honda CBR600F4i..(m)

Chicago cops actually checked their radar and see if it's working alright....(wonder how they did that....) Cops at first gave up going after him but this dumb guy took an offramp and travelled at the opposite direction "slower", and cops finally caught up with him and arrested him.

AND cops called Honda to see if the bike can go 160mph....and Honda said yes it can go 170mph.

This dude just got back his license 5 days ago after the cops took it away for 10 years....guess it's a good way to celebrate huh.

Glad I wasn't there last nite cuz I don't want a bike going at 160mph crashing into me on a 40mph road....(although avg speed there is like 60mph).....so that's like i'm standing still and he crashes into me at 100mph to 120mph. GEEZ.

ANYONE wanna race that guy? Be my guest. What a dumb idiot.

Default Did you know that It was the HIGHEST recorded speed on radar in Chicago history?! (more)...

He better have been going southbound. I dont know how he would have managed to do that going northbound on Lake Shore Dr.!

Default I think he was going northbound, doing 160mph clocked by cops, and then....(m)

turned southbound but was going slower and eventually the blue and white caught up and arrested him.

Yeah....the highest recorded speed. Ridiculous.
