I know this story is true,I found this arcticle on the internet. I live about 30 minutes from where this ticket took place. its a straight stretch or road and you see the majestic Canadian Rockys through you your windshield. Its hard not to twist the wrist, but I haven"t had the Valk to that speed!!
In 2008, a 31-year-old resident of Hinton, Alta., was stopped on Highway 16 between Edson and Hinton, about 280 kilometres west of Edmonton, driving 263 km/h -- 153 km/h above the road's limit - on his motorcycle. The judge hearing the case let the motorcyclist keep his license, as long as he paid the $12,000 speeding ticket - one of the most expensive speeding tickets ever issued in Canada. The same traffic court handed a 25-year-old from Prince George, B.C., an $8,500 fine for driving his Chevy Cobalt 206 km/h along the same stretch of highway.
263kmh is 164mph 153kmh is 96mph or 125 bucks for every mph over the posted speed limit. That ticket had to hurt the pocket book
