motorcycle going 147-miles per hour

Juneau County Deputy Leigh Neville-Neil said she initially clocked the motorcycle going 147-miles per hour traveling east on Highway 21 west of Necedah. The pursuit started at 7:10am Thursday morning. The motorcycle then turned south onto 7th Avenue and passed a school bus with its flashing red lights. The deputy said the operator slowed the crotch-rocket style cycle....but did not stop. Then he turned east onto 22nd Street West and then east onto Highway 21 again and headed towards the Village of Necedah. He turned south onto Oak Street near the fire station...went onto some grass....then back onto Highway 21 again going east.....then turned north onto Highway 80....still going about 100-mph in the Village of Necedah. Deputy Neville-Neil said she was going 132-mph and he was still able to out-distance her. Juneau County Sheriff Brent Oleson told her to back-off the pursuit at the wayside about 3-miles from the Wood County line. The chase ended at 7:30 Thursday morning with the suspect not being stopped. The deputy said the motorcycle was lime green and black in color and the male operator was wearing a full, black-colored helmet.

  2. John! Well, I guess anybody can drive FAST, but to be GOOD at it is pretty rare nowadays. Apparently the guy on the motorcycle was better at driving fast!
