An unlicensed rider of a “Honda 1000” was arrested September 18 for riding at 205 mph on U.S. Highway 61 near Wabasha, Minnesota, according to the September 21 online edition of the St. Paul (Minnesota) Pioneer Press.

The 20-year-old rider, who is the son of a law enforcement officer, was hand-timed over a marked quarter-mile distance by a Highway Patrol pilot flying overhead. The elapsed time was converted into 205 mph by the pilot.

The posted speed limit was 65 mph.

At post time, Roadracingworld.com was unable to contact the rider to determine what laws of physics had been repealed, allowing him to get a streetbike to go 205 mph.
