ROSENDALE, N.Y. -- Authorities say a 28-year-old man in upstate New York has been charged with driving his motorcycle at nearly 200 mph on a highway in the rain.

State police say a trooper clocked Anthony Anderson of Poughkeepsie driving at 193 mph around 8 p.m. Wednesday in the southbound lanes of Interstate 87 just south of Albany - the same stretch of road where another motorcyclist was spotted doing 166 mph earlier this month.

The trooper was able to get a description of the high-performance bike and alerted nearby patrols.

Troopers eventually stopped Anderson in the town of Rosendale. He told them he was headed to a hospital to visit a patient.

Anderson was issued 14 traffic tickets, including one for speeding.

It couldn't be immediately determined if he had a lawyer.

14 traffic tickets? get that bullshit out of here. charge him with one count of reckless driving and that's that. assholes.

I dont understand how it could be raining, going this fast. your bike would not even fkn stay on the road if it were wet. dead straight would be dangerous as alllll hell, nevermind the slightest bit of turn. (having done 155+ too many times to count, that's just a scary notion. always in perfect weather.)

when the first trooper spots the guy...why doesn't he radio the other guys down the highway and they stretch a rope across the road and clothesline the dude off the bike, then bet on distance flown?
