:iagree:
Average superbike/bulletbike only does up to 165+- (maybe they meant 200 KILOMETERS per hour?)
Average rider isn't capable of operating it at that speed for any distance
Average police car tops out at 130+-
But over a long chase they still caught him (And I didn't see any mention of a helicopter as part of the pursuit)

Somebody is exaggerating...... :totap:

Yeah, the fastest any of my patrol cars would go was 157, brand new 92 Crown Vic. The only place we could test them was the local airport at night.
Any time the police are being outrun, the speed the BG was going, seems to increase dramatically.

The gun isn't illegal...his CARRY, however, is UNLAWFUL...depending on license or lack thereof...

Well, a person on a motorcycle can still carry just like you can in a car, under the castle doctrine, however, if you were to flee from the police in your car, the act of committing a crime, would also carry the same penalty.

Re: Fort Hood Soldier flees DPS going 200 mph on motorcycle, while illegally carrying gun

While committing a crime i.e. fleeing or evading arrest, reckless driving etc. Also since he abandoned his bike, and wasn't on property that he owned or had control of, the possession would then become illegal.
