Total Sign Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 == 205-mph motorcyclist sentenced to 200 hours of community service == Randy Furst, Star Tribune - December 23, 2004 - A 20-year-old Stillwater motorcyclist charged with going 205 mph down Hwy. 61 in September pleaded guilty on Wednesday in Wabasha District Court to speeding and was sentenced to 200 hours of community service. Judge Terrence Walters placed Tilley on probation for a year and ordered him to pay $125 in court and probation fees, said the Wabasha County attorney's office. He will not serve any jail time. Wabasha County attorney Jim Nordstrom offered the plea agreement and Tilley accepted. Tilley also admitted to not having a proper motorcycle license. Under the agreement a reckless driving charge was dropped The plea agreement states that Tilley was going 205 miles mph in a 65 mph zone, 12 miles south of Wabasha. He was clocked by a Minnestate state police pilot on Sept. 18, during the Flood Run, a motorcycle charity event. The pilot radioed from his aircraft to a state patrol officer in a squad car who arrested Tilley and gave a ticket to Tilley who was driving a Honda 1000.

Ziggy1647545504 Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Damn! He got off light! I'd have been walking for the next several years if it'd been me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1647545498 Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 They probably realized that there was no way he could be going that fast. So they offered him this in order to save face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pg Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Damn... thats not a bad sentence considering, although 200 hours of community service that sucks. I had 20 hours and it sucked real bad I got to choose what I did so I cleaned stalls at my barn for 3 days it sucked so bad. Cleaning horse shit is hard work I was barely able to move my arms after. He won't get all that community service done for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pomade Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Didn't I read a post that was allegedly authored by the motocyclist (i.e., Tilley) going on and on about how he wasn't going that fast, there's no way they could ever prove it, and how he would fight it and prove it? If so, then I surely wouldn't haven't accepted a plea bargain that would have tied me to 200 hours of community service and be on paper for a year. Also, on a related tangent, you would that thought, given the publicity of the case, that some attorney, and maybe even a quasi-famous attorney, would have stepped up, made a case and tried to get the guy off (and, in the process, gained themselves some publicity). In any event, this I know to be true: the name Tilley is badass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Harris92 Posted December 26, 2004 Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 200 hours is a lot, but that is being let off pretty easy I think considering how damn fast he was going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
