I read a big thread about this on another site. They were doing the math on the stopwatch method of writing speeding tickets...kind of amazing how much just simple human reaction time (in relation to hitting the stopwatch button) would change your 'estimated speed'. Seems kinda shady to me...

Of course, once you are going that fast its not really about speeding tickets anymore anyway

Well yea the hayabusa can do almost 200 stock (I have seen one video of a stock busa breaking 200 tho)...

Thats not what I was saying...

The point is they are trying to write 'accurate' speeding tickets by using a stopwatch.

nice... Although he can technically get out of the speeding ticket as the method used of timing the guy to find his speed is illegal. That is what most lawyers would call a speed trap. When you used pre-determined objects and time to base a speed.

The new ones have a speed limiter on them but that is easy to fix.
