Minn. Trooper Writes 205 Mph Ticket

WABASHA, Minn. (AP) -- With a State Patrol airplane overhead, a motorcyclist
hit the throttle and possibly set the informal record for the fastest
speeding ticket in Minnesota history: 205 mph.

On Saturday afternoon, State Patrol pilot Al Loney was flying near Wabasha,
in southeastern Minnesota on the Wisconsin border, watching two
motorcyclists racing along U.S. Highway 61.

When one of the riders shot forward, Loney was ready with his stopwatch. He
clicked it once when the motorcycle reached a white marker on the road and
again a quarter-mile later. The watch read 4.39 seconds, which Loney
calculated to be 205 mph.
