Blowing By Cop At 160mph+

This guy blows by a cop car on the left shoulder at about the 30 second mark of this video. Looking at the digital read out he was doing 160+. I wonder if the cop even bothered?

speaking of pics and vids of stupid speeds, I used to see Avatars of one of those roadside radar readout signs. Instead of the speed it just said DAMN... anybody have a decent resolution image of that?

Like this only with different text and in color.

I dont see how the cop got his *** handed to him: The cop was simply on the side of the highway when the bike went past. An unsuspecting spectator to foolish stupidity, is more like it.

Right on, Rob!

I think there comes a point in an officer's mind when he knows that the great distributor of justice, i.e. fate, will be the best teacher of lessons and that chasing down foolish young men just to ticket them isn't worth the risk.

I learned my lesson with two close calls on bikes in deep triple digit speeds: I consider them my strike one and two. I don't want to strike out. ...I guess I've had my risk/reward ratio switched to "too much risk".

I'll stick to track events from now on, where I dont have to worry about deer, oncoming traffic, pedestrians, slow cars, or gravel on the apex. Plus there's usually an ambulance handy just in case!
