Wild biker caught going faster than a 737 takes off

Anthony Anderson apparently has a serious need for speed. So much so that when the reckless motorcyclist blazed by cops who clocked him at 193 miles per hour on the New York State Thruway (yes, that is 193 miles per hour — faster than a Boeing 737 takes off), the trooper had to deploy officers down the road before they could catch up with him in a different town and issue a ticket. Or rather 14 tickets, one of which was for speeding. Authorities said it was raining when the 28-year-old was clocked at a speed of nearly 200 mph, so we assume the others had to do with the myriad ways this situation involved reckless driving.

Only tickets? He is luck they did not arrest him!

[Franco Tirador]

14 of them lol, but i ask myself what is this guy thinking, he must be trying to kill himself

[Sinfix_15]

That ticket will be framed and hanging above the fireplace. I cant imagine 193mph, i've got 17X on a motorcycle and its absolutely terrifying and feels like the wind is going to pick you up and throw you. Maybe on a souped up busa or something that would accelerate super quick, but i cant imagine it at a normal rate of acceleration. Shame they didnt give the model of the bike in the article.

In my personal experiences, cops seem to weigh the potential life altering punishments vs the crime in cases of super speeding. I've been fortunate enough to get a "slap on the wrist" ticket in a circumstance that probably could have ruined my life if i received the actual legal punishment. If i caught someone doing 150+ on an empty stretch of highway, id give them a normal ticket and a "talking to". If i caught someone doing 150+ on a highly traveled road on a sunday evening after church let out, id hit them with the full extent of the law.

Most new bikes do over 100 in 1st gear. How easy it is to speed makes it almost irresistible

[Sinfix_15]

check out this crazy fucker

[bondo]

hes not scared to DIE thats for sure

I live down here near Savannah. Last year a group of us got stop by Ga Troopers. The front bike was going 160+, I was right behind him. We stopped like regular(dumb, but smart) people would and took our chances. All they did was lecture us and told us to slow down. We were lucky.

DAMN

[ISAtlanta300]

193MPH? He should have told the cop "But I was in the left lane. That is the "go as fast as you want and do whatever the fuck you want" lane. " (lol)

[BanginJimmy]

cops should have used a spike strip to stop him.

Not a very good rider if those wheel stands werent on purpose. If they were, just further proof of his stupidity.

[C230K]

I went to court the other day on pryor st and this asian guy for a speeding ticking for going 91 mph. He got a day in jail and a fine for $700. This guy got lucky

He was more than likely wearing a biking suit, with a helmet and pads. To reduce drag, you however, were wearing shorts and a t-shirt and laceless shoes.

i watch this video about once a month, a good way to die:

Ive been in several car accidents, but they are nothing compared to the one time I highsided off a suzuki sv650. Its completely different falling off a bike lol. I could never drive that recklessly but to each their own lol.

^X2^ You couldn't make me ride a boosted busa.

[teh bri]

Any one going that fast on a bike.. Deserves a falcon punch.

[§treet_§peed]

I've done that before.

[Elbow]

I've done that before.

Want a cookie?

Shoooot, if somebody offered to let me drive there boosted busa, I would be on it in a heartbeat. Life's about experience and that is one that I would like to have.

What?! 193 in the rain? I have my doubts..

This. I can believe he was going fast. Maybe 130 tops, but not close to 200 with a wet surface on a bike that has a grand total of two square inches of rubber contact and no downforce. At 200 on wet pavement, emergency lane changes and braking would be fatal. Must have just started raining when they got him to stop

[§treet_§peed]

Hell yes I want a cookie

Yeah, that's not true at all.

[Matt300ZXT]

People caught doing retarded things on bikes like that on the crowded streets, need to have their bikes impounded and crushed. That's fucking stupid and a danger to innocent people. They should do the same thing to idiots who street race in traffic.

Have you ever ridden a race bike? The power is there. At one point or another, you will test it.

And they should take away any 6000+ lb SUV from any soccer mom who is talking on the phone while driving also. Crush all of those as well.

I agree with this more. I can't tell you how many times I almost got hit from idiots like this.

[NaNissan]

Speeding never killed anybody.

[Halfwit]

there were videos on here of me a few years back doing over 200 on my 2008 hayabusa.

really not THAT crazy if its on a decent stretch, although cars in the distance come up pretty quick, and can change lanes since they dont think you are near.

and numerous 2007-8 gsxr 1000's i have topped out at 186 (still had governor)

It is AMAZING how fast new literbikes will get to those speeds, and be perfectly steady and humming along.
