I saw this too.. hehe.. a few years ago, a friend of mine got a ticket for
106 in a 60 and when he went to court the judge got an irritated tone in her
voice as she was looking up the penalty for 46 over and said "The scale only
goes to 40 over!" I think it cost him $250 or something like that. I cant
imagine what the fine for 140 over is.. :-)

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.
