Hey I know this is not car talk but I thought this was nuts. If you are from Chitown you know the road its hard to do like 50 on..

A motorcyclist from Calumet City was ticketed for driving 160 m.p.h. on Lake Shore Drive early Wednesday--so fast that police double-checked their radar gun and asked the cycle's manufacturer if the two-wheeler could go that fast.

"It seems almost unbelievable," said Chicago police Traffic Unit Cmdr. David Dougherty. "The officers, who have been in the radar unit for 20 years-plus, say this is the fastest speed they can recall."

When the radar went off in Officer Maurice Burks' car at 2 a.m. at North Lake Shore Drive and Grand Avenue, one of his first reactions was to check for errors in the radar, Dougherty said. Satisfied the radar gun was working, Burks flipped on his emergency lights to give chase but quickly realized there was no chance of catching the motorcyclist. So he turned off his lights and watched as the driver pulled off the drive at North Avenue, police spokesman David Bayless said. Burks then saw the driver double back and head south on Inner Lake Shore Drive, Bayless said. He stopped the rider, Daemon Rogan, 32, at 336 N. Michigan Ave., police said. The motorcycle was towed, and Rogan spent the night in the Central District lockup.

After checking the radar gun again and determining it was in working order, police said they contacted a Honda motorcycle dealership to ask if that speed was possible on the 600FX model Rogan was driving. Police said they were told the top speed for that model is 165 m.p.h.

Rogan, who has three speeding citations since 1999, was given eight traffic tickets: speeding, passing between vehicles, no insurance, no state plates, improper lane usage, failure to signal, running a stoplight and failure to yield. Dougherty said police are in discussions with the Cook County state's attorney's office about other charges, including reckless driving.

"They don't realize the peril they're in when they're traveling at that speed," Dougherty said.

I have hit 145 on my bike twice this past week (Fri night and Tuesday night). After a while, speed just becomes a part of you... I think I average about 80 or so in the CL-S and about 90 on the bike. It just feels so good, the pipe humming, music on low, wind around the body... I am very aware of my surroundings and there are only a few places I do that speed, but when you can get 0-60 in about 3.5 seconds, why not push it? For all those bike-haters out there. Stop being jealous. You want to do it, buy a bike. Remain respectful of the road, respectful of others, but remember - you toy with your own life. The advantage to speeding on a bike compared to a car is that you are dealing with your own life, and not really puttin as much physical harm to others. You are a lot less likely to hurt someone on a bike, then if you speed at 145 in a car. hmmm 400+ pounds compared to 3400+ pounds... 96 HP compared to 260HP..

astro

the bike I have this year is the Suzuki GSX-R 1000 with a full Akrapovic exhaust system and a power commander 3r...

it is an amazing rush to go that fast...I've been in the 180's a good 20 times prolly...sometimes for as long as 40 km's...although that only took minutes...ehhe

the bike feels so planted though, completely unlike any car..including my porsche which begins to feel a little less planted when you hit 280km/h...
