A few years ago I was doing ~170mph (273kph) on the Pacific Coast highway outside of LA. It was ~3am and nobody else was out. The road is very well lit and glass smooth. Was bored and thought I'd open it up a bit.

After 3-4 miles of holding the throttle at the stop in 6'th gear I dumped all my speed to stop for a red light (I try and only break one law at a time). The the traffic lights along the PCH don't have sensors, just timers and they take forever. I dig in my pocket for the mobile to read a text message somebody had sent me.

I do my thing and then put the mobile away just in time to see a member of the local constabulary in my mirror nearly rear end me.

He jumps out the car waving his gun around and tells me to step off the bike.

I oblige his request as he proceeds to search and cuff me.

He sits me down on the curb and asks me "Do you have any idea how fast you were going!?!!?" (as to not incriminate myself) I reply "honestly, no officer, I was too busy watching the road".

He says "Really. That's very interesting. I only ask you that because I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST YOU WERE GOING".

At this point I became full of glee at the prospect of getting out of all this because the police have a very high burden of proof for speeding tickets over here.

He interupts my happy thoughts with the statement "I have no idea how fast you were going because when you flew by, me my radar gun simply displayed an error message. I called into the station house to ask about that error message while I was coming after you. It turns out that my gun won't read any higher than 155mph and that error was telling me it had just picked up an object faster than 155mph. So I'm going to ask you again. Do you have any idea how fast you were going?"

At this point I knew I was completely hosed and I came clean.

Total damage was spending the night in the county jail. Suspended license for 2 months. Nearly $2,000usd in fines to get the bike back. A lesson learned.
