Iowa
A Cedar Rapids man was arrested Thursday afternoon after a high-speed motorcycle chase through Cedar Rapids that saw speeds up to 164 miles per hour, according to the Iowa State Patrol.
Kyle Russell, 20, faces a number of charges, including a speeding violation (164 mph in a 65 mph zone), four other speed violations, two counts of eluding police, reckless driving, unsafe passing, two stop sign violations, a registration violation and no proof of insurance.
The chase started when four motorcycles were clocked going 104 mph traveling eastbound on U.S. highway 30 near the Iowa Highway 13 intersection, according to the state patrol.
When a trooper pulled out to stop them, the motorcycles accelerated rapidly and split up. The officer, aided by another officer in a helicopter, stayed with one of the vehicles.
The aircraft radar recorded speeds of 164 mph.
Police caught the man after he entered a storage area and was found hiding in a boat, which was parked in the building, police said.
Russell was driving a 2002 Yamaha YZF R1 1000cc.

Am I a bad person if this kind of makes me want one?
i never knew they actually used helicopters??????
he should've fitted a "Racefit" directs and power commanders....that'll shake the po po's
Nice to hear he didn't kill anyone before shedding his dignity.
It will be interesting to see if he gives up his friends.
Man, he missed 100mph over the speed limit by ONE mph! Go Team HTO! (Habitual Traffic Offender)
I am very happy there are no helicopter chasing in my country.
