3yrs for Speeding in School Zone

http://www.ktvu.com/news/13938235/detail.html Good, lock his ass up. :arsenal

three years should get him to rethink......what a stupid thing to do. :headshake

Chock 1 up for the good guys. FWIW, I think after 3 years.......he will still go out and pull off stupid shit like this.....Remember "YOU CANT FIX STUPID!" Next time he will end up killing someone or getting himself "DRT"

I'm glad to see this kind of stupidity taken off the street. No place in society for people with the level of stupidity this guy showed. Need to lock him up for good.

:clap: From KTVU.com: Motorcyclist Gets 3 Years For Speeding Man Going More Than 160 MPH In School Zone POSTED: 6:30 am PDT August 21, 2007 UPDATED: 7:06 am PDT August 22, 2007 PHOENIX -- A 20-year-old Mesa, Ariz., motorcyclist was sentenced to three years in prison on Monday for blasting past a school crosswalk at speeds exceeding 160 mph. Mathew Englebeck was arrested on April 2 after a pursuit and foot chase. Arizona Department of Public Safety officers said they first observed Englebeck on his 2006 Honda CBR motorcycle traveling around 140 mph in morning rush-hour traffic on U.S. 60 near Mesa Drive. After exiting the freeway, Englebeck then drove through a crosswalk near Whittier Elementary School at more than 160 mph, officers said. DPS motorcycle officer Mike Fields said at one point the speeding biker was coming right at him. "Unfortunately the position of my bike, he was able to work his way around it nearly colliding with me as he went off and over the on-ramp and back onto westbound U.S. 60," Fields told Phoenix television station KPHO. About 30 minutes into the chase, Englebeck abandoned his motorcycle near Rio Salado and the Loop 101 and a foot chase ensued. Officers said they found Englebeck a short time later in a nearby apartment complex and took him into custody. KPHO learned that he has riding with a suspended license and has history of reckless driving. Officers said Engelbeck told them he was a former racer who was heading for work. On Aug. 20, he pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated assault and unlawful flight from law enforcement officers.

Oh yeah, I forgot my original post... ahem... Good, glad he went to jail before he took an innocent child with him.

i feel better now :bounce im glad weve put th@ behind us :rofl:

140 im morning rush hour? come on dude....3 years is minimum for the stupidity. We all like to run our bikes to their potential now and then, or have some fun.....but 1) morning rush hour 2) rediculous speeds for city roads 3) the usual stereo-type for motorcyclists 4) runnin from police and a foot chase what an idiot. just aother story to remind us all how privelaged we are to have bikes, and how some people ruin it for the rest of us

Thank god he didn't kill a kid. I just wonder when Dragunov is going to post that it's all the cops fault...blah blah blah

:needpics: :thefinger

& its all the cops fault :laughingr :laughingr

wow... absolute crazy idiot. most of you would call me an idiot though for running from the police, but that has ruined my life and was the worst decision ever. my friend would always talk about how easy it is and that was the first thing on my mind when the lights were on

what an idiot. at least he was on a honda and gave them the bad wrap and not gixxers. even though it kinda hurts all sportbikers because thats the exact reason why people dont like riders.

Do you really think the general public knows the difference between a Honda or a GSXR?

not all....actually probably not most. but at least some will.

I wonder what type of CBR... 'cause inless it's the 1000 I'd pull out the ol' BS-Card on speed exceeding 160mph.

WTF!!! Three years in prison??? That`s just wrong...he didn`t do anything!

WTF!!! Three years in prison??? That`s just wrong...he didn`t do anything! I hope ur kidding. Cause if you're not...Lets put your kid in the middle of a cross walk in front of his school and Ill shoot through it at 100, not even 160, and see how you feel then. If you are serious, you deserve 6 years in jail for being to stupid to learn from this idiots stupidity. :rant:

I wonder what type of CBR... 'cause inless it's the 1000 I'd pull out the ol' BS-Card on speed exceeding 160mph. I wouldnt. The 600 is capable of that speed, even though it's near the limits of 6th gear. Considering the situation and his blatant stupidity i'd say he was pushing that honder to the limits to get away. Anyone else notice he was charged with "unlawful flight?" Wtf is that. Is it like evading but fast as shit?

alright i know ill get shit for this and im young so my views will probly change as i get old and wise. But most likely he didnt know a school zone was coming up if hes doing 160. He could have easily killed someone but he didnt. i say 6 months to a year is more than enough time to think things over, but three YEARS i dunno:headscrat

I'm young too, i've had my bike at those speeds twice. Both were on roads with absolutely no outlets on either side. Doing it in rush out traffic on his way to work... He KNEW there was a school zone coming up. I see where you're coming from but this kid shouldn't be allowed in anything with less than 4 doors or more than 90hp.

alright i know ill get shit for this and im young so my views will probly change as i get old and wise. But most likely he didnt know a school zone was coming up if hes doing 160. He could have easily killed someone but he didnt. i say 6 months to a year is more than enough time to think things over, but three YEARS i dunno:headscrat This is what we grown-ups call ... Making an example. When someone commits so egregious of an act, you make an example of them to encourage the rest of the flock to behave appropriately. It always sucks to be the getting an example made of, but do your duty and learn... Otherwise his 3 years are for nothin lol.

Must of gone over a bump... Smart aleck. I had my own snarky comment, but it's too late now... Chango

Smart aleck. I had my own snarky comment, but it's too late now... Chango Muuuwaaahahahaha! :woot:

He could have easily killed someone but he didnt. i say 6 months to a year is more than enough time to think things over, but three YEARS i dunno:headscrat they should give him a life sentence scholar patrol at that same crossing guarded by GSXR riders with cattle prods.seeing this was rush-hour morning kids were most probably crossing round about that time and I don't know if you have ever noticed but a coule of hundred yards before all crossings you see those warnings? have you ? he knowingly, blatantly and wrecklessly endangered kids's lives and if I was dropping my son off and witnessed this my desert eagle's .50 calibre would have caught up with his helmet in no time.

The problem is that people DO kill people and get less time in jail then this kid? Not saying he dose not deserve it but come on, punishment should fit the crime, he would have got less time for trying to rob a bank and if he did not get caught he would have a lot of money.

This specific example definately raised awareness in that area without a doubt and a million $ says a life,bike or car has allready been saved due to our pioneering honda convict's sentence not only from him but all like-minded riders. go and kill youself in the canyons don't endanger other lives is the message and I hope everyone gets it.

What state do you live in where Murderers get less that 3 years??:headscrat

There have been people who are DUI and kill someone out after 3 years, I do not agree with his choice at all. Think about this though, when/if you make the decision to run from the police the last thing on your mind is a crosswalk/speedlimit/or any other traffic laws. The penilties are getting so stiff and costing so much money now adays the amount of people who flee from accidents and such has doubled in the last 3 years. I see it every day.

So he went fast...big deal. These bikes are made for fast riding. I think the traffic laws shouldn`t apply for sport bikes...those rules are adapted to an average car with an average driver not for a sport bike driven by an ex-racer. A half blind grandma going 30 in her pickup is a bigger hazard on the road than a sportbike with a capable driver going 100. I mean the guy did a wrong thing...but 3 years in prison-no fu..ing way. I drive above 2xspeed limit all the time and with such a high performance vehicle the riding is still prety safe. Not to mention if I had to wait for the doted line to pass...you just couldn`t ride if you`d have to follow the law.

What state are you from so I know to watch out for a similar article about you.... :headshake Yes, these are high performance bikes. If you want to push them to the limit there are places to do that. The street with other cars and pedestrians around is not that place, though. You aren't above the law any more than a person driving a high performance car is. Sure, Grandma could run into a car because she didn't see it, that doesn't mean it's ok for you to ride recklessly. Not to be too much of a dick, but if you don't understand how much damage 500lbs of metal and person can do to a car at 100MPH, maybe you need to rethink your choice of vehicle.

I drive above 2xspeed limit all the time and with such a high performance vehicle the riding is still prety safe. Not to mention if I had to wait for the doted line to pass...you just couldn`t ride if you`d have to follow the law. If it was so easy for people to avoid things @ high rates of speed like that, they would let spectators cross the track during a race... Come on now. At 160mph you aren't getting out of the way of ANYTHING that gets in front of you.

I love how when these guys get a sports bike they are automaticly Mladin or Speis!

Similar story: A guy I used to hang out with bought a new 2005 corvette, spent months building the motor, fast as hell, decided it still wasnt enough and put nitrous in it, went out one night to test the new system and decided to see if he could top it out on this 2+ mile stretch of straight road, well there was a school towards the end of the road, there was an officer just comming out of the school lot after a small patrol, caught him doing over 200mph When the kid got towards the end of the road the right rear tire blew, not rated for the speed Im guessing, and his front brake welded itself to the rotor as soon as he hit them and he crashed the car. Got an insane amount of tickets and 5yrs in jail. got injured, but I dont remember what it was. Some people are just a bit too speshal :headscrat

Sure 160 is too much in a school zone or on a narrow road with lots of traffic and like I said the guy way wrong. You have to asses the road and the conditions, but in my experience twice the speed limit is still prety safe on most roads...much safer than doing the speed limit in an old car. Also the no-pass zones are designated for average cars not for a sportbikes with acceleration 0-125 in 7s. Thereby a lot of these traffic rules shouldn`t apply to sportbikes and the police need to learn to tolerate this.

Like 2 signs posted, 1 Cars & Harleys, the other Sport bikes?! While this would be enjoyable, come on.

I can see you without a licence and a bike very soon in the not so distant future with your outlook on safety and the LAW. You are the exception to the rule.............That is that ignorrance is not something you are born with. EX-Racer....? Who did you race for what team?

EX-Racer....? Who did you race for what team? M4 Emgo Squildly Team?

although i agree somewhat in speed limits today... they were engineered for cars way back in the day.. they should all be adjusted due to the extreme increase in braking, turning ,and safety in vehicles... but its not just the vehicles bro.. who cares what performance the bike or car has... its the rider/driver.... the USA promotes shit drivers and people who just suck. there is a reason why europe has higher speed limits and nicer cars.... they respect the road

This could possibly be the dumbest post Iv ever read....did you even read the entire article??? Going fast is one thing but you dont do it in traffic and you damn sure dont do it through a crosswalk near a Elementary School. I hope the cops beat the shit out of him when they found him.

They also have alot stiffer traffic laws. You think 3 years is alot, break the speed laws on the autobaun, an yes they do have speed limits. It is persuient to the amount of traffic.

Ummmm..Negative on Europeans respecting the roads more. I STRONGLY disagree with that, and Ive been here for over a year. And Ive been in more than one country....People here drive like idiots... But Im glad that asshole got 3yrs......I ran from the cops once, and got caught. 6mo license suspension RIGHT before I came overseas...Got my license back in august (06). I went home for two weeks in april, and was able to drive cuz I had it back. By the time I get home it will have been two years since I have consistantly driven something other than a Humvee.
