Motorcyclist nabbed for 150 mph run on Highway 18 | KOMO News - Seattle, Washington | News

A man cited for going more than 150 miles and hour told the troopers who pulled him over Friday morning that he was late for work.
Trooper Cliff Pratt said the 23-year-old Bonney Lake man was spotted about 8:30 a.m. by a State Patrol aircraft monitoring traffic on Highway 18 near the Green River Bridge.

The aircraft followed the man north on Highway 18 for 15 miles as he sped his motorcycle through rush-hour traffic, and troopers on the ground finally caught up with him near the Interstate 90 interchange.

When he got off his motorcycle, the man told troopers that he knew he was doing 150 mph and that he was speeding because he was running late, Pratt said.

"He knew he was caught," Pratt said, adding that the man had no idea he was being tracked from the air.

"That's the key points to our aircraft patrols," he said. "That's where we're getting a lot of these extreme high speeds from vehicles. You never know where the aircraft is going to be."

The man was given a $675 fine and also cited for driving with an expired motorcycle endorsement on his license.

There's a video in that link. Crazy speeds, for sure.
 
This is the map from where they spotted him until he was pulled over at the end. It looks like a pretty long pursuit for sure. The cops on the ground sure can't keep up with him until he slowed down, possibility.

Sorry for off-topic, but please excuse me :)

When I was 4 years old, my babysitter's brother, Tommy, who was 16 years old, he have been wanting me to ride on his motorcycle with him, somehow the babysitter allow me to ride on the motorcycle with him. I sat on the front and Tommy was sitting on the back, I remember how hard the windy blow on my face while riding on the motorcycle and then we was about to go on the interstate. When we get on the interstate, a old woman (sorry I have to call her old woman) coming from other side, was drunk and didn't stop at the stop sign, so she hit us, Tommy fell off of the back of the motorcycle and I fell over the front of the motorcycle and I think I was trying to grab something on the motorcycle, but the motorcycle kept push me and the wheel pulled me so I was twist in the wheel on my head, and my finger almost cut off because I didn't let something that I was holding go before the wheel pulled me. I was laying on the road, I still remember looking at my fingers bleeding so lot as it make my arm turn into red, I also still remember the houses saw what happened, they was hurried and calling, the old woman came out of the car, look so worried and Tommy was close to me, trying to help me, but I fainted.

I was in coma at the hostipal, I haven't woke up till the doctors use the x-ray on me, I have been staying there for about 2 or 3 weeks, they cut a piece of bone from one of my hips and put it in my finger on the right. But someday a doctor came in my room while I was sleeping, he throw the driller on my leg and cause bruisie, then awhile later, my mom found out about the black spot on my leg, and the doctor start to panic because they thought I have the blood clot so they make another surgery on my leg to test my meat if it was blood clot, but that doctor who threw the driller on my leg finally admitted that it was only a bruisie. Another day, my mom found some liquid which look so dark brown like Pepsi on my bed and she figured that it was from my urine so she alerted the doctor to take a look, and they found out that I was very weak, my mom kept tell me to push her hand with my foot, but I can't push at all. I also can't walk, I still remember I was trying to get off the wheelchair so I can sit on the tiolet, and fell on the floor. The doctor found out that I was allergy from the medicines that they fed me.

After those horrible happens, my parents sued that old woman and the hostipal. When I went back to home, I refuse to go outside for probably like 2 months, my parents did tried to give me a little plastic motorcycle bike and I told them that I don't want it. Tommy was very qulity about me, he was very mad at his motorcycle, he destroyed it with his bat.

This is my most worst accident I ever had in my life and I got total of 6 scars on my body from those happens, one on my leg, one on my hip, one on one of my eyebrows, one at below my nose, two ugly with scars all over on the finger at my right hand. Those scars and the fingers will remain there whole my life.

Now that explain where I got the money from for my house.

Yea I know.. The lawyer did very good, the old woman and the hostipal have nothing to win.
 
When I read this thread, I can't help thinking of that picture of the motorcycler's head in the back of the semi-truck somewhere on the AD. This guy in this thread is lucky he didn't end up like that guy.
