LIVINGSTON, La. -- Brian Samuel Willis is in the cooler, accused by troopers of setting a blistering speeding record.



Louisiana Trooper Ryan Riley said Willis was clocked doing 155 mph on Interstate 12, more than double the speed limit of 70.



Riley said there are no formal records kept, but no one can remember anyone who was caught going faster.



Willis was jailed Sunday, with a bond hearing set for Tuesday.

According to Riley, Willis told troopers he thought he was only doing about 120 mph on his black Yamaha R6 motorcycle.


Riley said Willis pulled over once he realized state police were after him.

How did they measure the speed...it's a cinch that a CV wasn't traveling at that speed...so, VASCAR, radar, or LIDAR...airplane? Or a non-typical police car?

If he was going 155mph, I don't understand how he even saw them.

I agree, if he was doing 155, how in the hell would you catch him or for that matter, why would you even bother to try and chase him. Killing myself just to catch up to him is not worth a speeding ticket, but then again I'm not a highway patrolman.

It is possible for that bike to do 155, however only for a few quick seconds. Road conditions and traffic couldn't possible allow for that type of sustained speed.
