Got this one too:

Police Find, Seize Bike Used In 186 MPH YouTube Speedster Video

........Police have already fined the woman who owns the bike, but officials believe that her 25-year-old son was the one on the bike for the video. The Globe and Mail report that he has over two dozen tickets for speeding and driving without a valid license.

Knucklehead? Organ donor, more likely. Hopefully something remains useable!

In reply to BBsGarage:

he didn't have a motorcycle endorsement. I'd still take his license away. Although, he'll have a hard time driving while he's in jail.

If he's a knuckle head for doing ~150 mph without a licence on a public road, then I agree.

If he's a knuckle head for saying the bike can do 190 mph, and the cops give him a ticket for doing 190, then the cops are the knuckleheads.

It's unclear the way the story is written, but you can't give a person a valid ticket for unsubstantiated claims of speed. I can say my bike can do 210, you can't give me a ticket for it unless you catch me actually doing 210.

In reply to foxtrapper:

I didn't understand it to say that the cops gave him a ticket for 190, but who knows. But even in that case both the cops and the rider are knuckleheads!

True, Im just sayen that if he has no problem doing a buck-n-a-half on a bike with no license, not having an auto license isnt going to stop him. He needs more of what he got, jail time with a new friend named BIG Bubba.

The talk show on WMJI-Cleveland had (has?) a segment called Knuckleheads In The News.

I find it... odd that they gave him a ticket for eluding police, yet the police didn't even try to chase him and "picked him up" at a gas station.

Police generally SHOULD NOT pursue fleeing vehicles, especially ones that are going at excess speeds. All that does is make a dangerous situation even worse.

I've been... told... that generally speaking, in Ohio, police will not pursue motorcycles, because the likelihood ratio of fatal accident : catching the guy is not very favorable.
