[QUOTE="LDRydr, post: 404053, member: 6691"] Most of us locals know that Oregon is shorthanded on state troopers, but still, this is just plain dumb. And a construction zone no less. :crazy: :headbonk: [I]Police arrested a Eugene OR man on Sunday after he allegedly rode his motorcycle over 160 miles per hour on Interstate 5. Ben Howard Kelley, 37, provided police with the evidence against him, authorities said. [/I] A trooper was northbound on I-5, north of Eugene, when he noticed a motorcyclist speeding and estimated the man was going 100 to 115 mph. When troopers stopped Kelley, they noticed a digital camera was set up near the handlebars, pointing forward; Kelley had been filming his speedometer. “After examining the digital camera video, troopers got a big surprise when it showed the speedometer registering speeds up to 164 mph,” said Oregon State Police Lieutenant Gregg Hastings. Kelley was arrested for reckless driving and lodged in Lane County Jail pending a future appearance in Lane County Circuit Court. Police seized the digital camera as evidence. :haha: A review of the camera's video shows the motorcycle being operated in a dangerous, reckless manner through the Interstate 5 Eugene/Springfield highway construction zone at a high rate of speed, according to Hastings. Police did not release video to the media. [/QUOTE]
