Highway Patrol says biker clocked at 176 mph

Associated Press

BISMARCK, N.D. - A motorcycle rider clocked at 176 mph east of here was charged with speeding and reckless driving, the state Highway Patrol says.

Capt. Mark Bethke said Vitaliy Poberezchnik, 19, of Lincoln, was on Interstate 94, in a 75 mph zone, when he was clocked at 176 mph Friday.

"I can't recall in my years with the Highway Patrol, that we've ever had a speed that's ever been that high," Bethke said.

He said Poberezchnik turned his motorcycle back toward Bismarck, and a trooper was waiting for him.

Poberezchnik was given a $505 ticket for speeding, and he has 14 days to pay the fine, Bethke said. He is slated to appear in court June 6 on the reckless driving charge.

Poberezchnik could not be reached for comment.

Could have been faster if he was on that Minnesota RC51.

I know what 180 MPH feels like at Daytona... I can't imagine doing that on the street  :o

What a jackass.

I topped out my ZX11 on a public road once.  The road was in downstate Illinois, and was built along the top of a flood control levee, with farm fields on either side.  I could see ahead for more than a mile, and there were no crossroads.  It still scared the hell outta me.
Later, I road the same bike at Keith Code school, held at Road America.  No fear of speed in THAT controlled environment.  Go figure....

In Ft. Myers we had a guy on Interstate 75 get clocked at 183 mph :banghead:, and the police didn't even bother to chase him.

Our sherrif told my brothers class this, because a kid asked what the fastest speed recorded was. he deserves this :kicknuts: :kicknuts:

LJ wouldn't call, he'd just send someone over to "persuade" Ralph to give it back.  :biggrin:

Is that why Paul's suit was shedding on the front straight at Gingerman?   :err:

And, uh, Ralph?  Wouldn't your pre-modified leathers make you look like the Stay-Puft marshmellow man?  Maybe I'll see if Rich Miller can remember...
