The Minnesota State Police allege that the individual named in the below article was going 205 mph on a
motorcycle last fall. I simply don't believe that nonsense.
BTW, the gent's preference in cars? A 1995 Aurora!........
WABASHA
Speedy motorcyclist arrested again
The Stillwater motorcyclist arrested last year on suspicion of racing 205 mph near Wabasha during the "Flood Run" motorcycle charity event is accused of failing to abide by the terms of his probation.
Sam Tilley, 21, failed to report to his probation officer, and there is no record of his having paid the $125 fine or performing the 200 hours of community service as ordered during his December sentencing, Wabasha County court officials say.
Tilley did not appear at a March 24 hearing to explain himself, so a judge issued an arrest warrant. He was picked up early Thursday, after Woodbury police pulled him over in a 1995 Oldsmobile Aurora.
He was slated to appear before a Wabasha County judge today.
Tilley pleaded guilty last year to misdemeanor counts of speeding and driving without a motorcycle license. Prosecutors dropped a misdemeanor charge of reckless driving.
When state troopers said they clocked him driving 205 mph on U.S. 61 last fall, it caused a storm in the motorcycle world. Tilley maintained he was going at least 111 mph but never 205.
His guilty plea averted a trial — but also the analysis that may have proved whether he'd actually reached 205. The prosecutor said the court record probably wouldn't note his speed.
