[h=1]Kitchener man charged with racing – 177 km/h in 80 zone on motorcycle[/h]




STRATFORD, ONT. — A Kitchener man has a court date next month after police clocked a motorcycle going 97 kilometres per hour over the speed limit near Stratford.
Provincial police say it happened Sunday on Perth Line 20 between Highway 7 and St. Pauls Station.
Police say the motorcycle was clocked at 177 km/h in an 80 zone.

And another nice catch!
 
Rural road with no hills, little traffic, and few driveways. Probably not very hazardous.

Oh that makes it ok then. The only potential victims of this idiot would have been the half dozen residences and farms with driveways entering onto the 1.5 km center-stretch between St Pauls Station and Highway 7, plus the residents in another few dozen St. Pauls Station homes and area farms who also would use that road to get to nearby Stratford for shopping and such. Yes, they would be most happy that this idiot chose THEIR "not very hazardous" road to be a fool on, and would be perfectly understanding had something gone wrong on their road.

This guy wasn't nailed for doing 10 or 20 over. He was doing 97 over. Big difference. Nobody would reasonably expect or allow for approaching traffic with that sort of speed, and at that speed he'd cut right through a car pulling out of a driveway, never mind some kid on a bicycle or some farm hand coming out of a field.

good that he got nailed and i hope he gets everything the courts can throw at him. It's my first year on a motorcycle this summer and all I see on the roads are the experienced riders breaking the law every chance they get. C'mon it's very easy to spot nubie's vs experienced. I wonder if he would of driven his car down that stretch of road in the same manner. What a loser!

Wow, so much hate for the guy. Yes, what he did is wrong, but wait until it will be your turn to be in his position.

Barring extremist police, it was his CHOICE to drive that fast and thus he accepted the risks of being caught and the punishments that correlate with that choice.

+1. Depending on the bike, this might have been a blip of the throttle in 2nd gear.

Well if he can't handle his throttle blips more appropriately, then maybe he should trade what he has in on a CBR125 or maybe a Vespa.

Yep, you're right. He twisted his wrist = off with his head. lord knows we need to spend all our traffic enforcement efforts getting these speed demons off our roads and protect our babies. Besides, dealing with the morons that can't safely operate a motor vehicle actually takes some effort.
