A friend of mine posted this on Facebook. Unfortunately there is no video of it.

HAHA

On that day, Pigsley said, he was concerned about the safety of not only the motorcyclist, but also everyone else traveling on I-29 in his path.
“I not only watched him pass on the shoulders at high rates of speed, but I saw him go on the centerline between semis and cars,” Pigsley said.


Sounds like a normal sunday drive?

Sky cops suck he would have made it if it wasn't for them and we never would have heard a thing about it! Dangerous as hell to be doing it in traffic could have got someone else hurt of killed although Ive had the the thought cross my mind during a few traffic stops ;)

No, what sucks is the idiot doing 188 on a bike whipping through traffic. Should put him in jail for a year or 2.

i agree with sparkles with how sandy the roads are right now all that would of had to happen is the front tire to wash out a bit and he and whoever was in the car he hit would be dead... i love my motorcycles but i think in addition to a safety test they should have an iq test that decides how fast a bike you can ride

It happened back in August of 2009, he was just now convicted though.
