You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™
Going 143 mph on a motorcycle.
With your family jewels gripping the seat, and the wind ripping the flesh off your face, the world is a blur of speed and adrenalized fervor.
At 143 mph, a pebble could catapult you into a ditch where your only option is a dirt nap that lasts forever.
143 miles an hour on a motor-cycle is like riding a taser gun set to kill.
So what would prompt a man to climb onto a revving chain saw, and ride it like a wild boar into the concrete ether?
Love? Crazy? Lust? All of the above?
DATELINE: Melbourne, Austraila.
Joshua Kelly has apparently never had conjugal relations with a woman. So when his girlfriend said come on over stud, I want you to take me like a thief takes a carton of cigarettes from the Circle K, Kelly’s blood pressure went through the roof.
Kelly climbed aboard his Japanese Rice Rocket and gunned it.
Next thing you know the American born wild man is being chased by cops Down Under.
Kelly was a bat out of hell, traveling down roads at speeds 3 times faster than what 4 out of 5 dentists would recommend.
Kelly didn’t explode like a water mellon stuffed with M-80’s during fire works prevention week. He survived, and was taken into custody.
The dude’s lawyer told the judge: his 27-year-old client had been swept away by love but was sincerely remorseful, the Herald Sun reported.
“He says it’s the stupidest thing he’s ever done.”
Police say Kelley was initially caught on a laser speed detector doing 111mph, then he gunned it up to 143mph in a roadworks zone where the speed limit was 50mph.
97 over! But who’se counting, right.
A little weave in and out of traffic. A little driving on the shoulder. Blue lights.
Bam. Handcuffs. It’s over.
The court fined him $2,000 and put him in the pokey for four months.
Despite the roaring start to their relationship, Kelley and his girlfriend plan to marry in February.
143 MPH.
After a couple of years of marriage, Kelly will wish he had hit that wall.
And that is crazy.™
