Reckless Driving can be a lot of trouble.
Go hire a lawyer, it is a criminal offense and you are lucky it's not after Oct 1, 08 in your state
Nasty new law

I'm not gonna give you any advice, cuz I'm sure I'll end up being told I should be smacked for it.

Get a lawyer. The previous failure to yeild, was that towards a cop or towards a yeild sign. If towards a cop, this will be your 2nd offense for running. Get a lawyer.
If the fines are gonna be more than $500 get a good & recommended traffic atty, it's amazing what they can do.

My cousin got clocked at 122 last summer, didnt know he was being chased either, he stopped 15 miles down the road, cop lit him up, impound and jail. He was charged with eluding as well . He lost his license for a year, even after $4000 in attorneys fees. But he was looking at a year in jail. This is in Va. Good luck
It was actually for doing a rolling stop in my impala...i didnt do a complete stop...oh and i wasnt charged for eluding, just the wreckless charge...so i guess i better lawyer up then...
That's good it was not eluding, a 2nd offense would not look good to a judge.
Depending on how they clocked you, if they lost sight of you, etc... A Lawyer might work wonders for you.
Hopefully you didn't give them any statements...
First of all this is wreckless driving.
120mph at night, Back roads, 2am. Do you know what kinda people are out at 2am? Drunks and Cops. Not to mention they can hear a motorcycle running hard (120mph) from a long way.
You don't have much of a leg to stand on. You need to beg for mercy. 120mph is wreckless in most places in the daytime. With the increased attention all the squids have given sportbikes it does not look good for you. Judges and DA's watch youtube. They have been waiting for you.
You may have to pay the tab on this round.
If you find an attorney, he or she needs to have a very close relationship with the DA.
Try to get the wreckless reduced to the speed.
Wreckless will probably always be on your driving record. It depends on your states coding regulations. Serious violations or repeat offenders never have their record cleared.
You may have to offer to sell the bike.
Do community service, something to show you made a very bad choice and it will not happen again.
Good luck
I didnt say anything 2 them cause they were saying stupid s*** like, "i kinda wish he would have ran, it would have been a good chase"...the lady that booked me said their the youngest cops in the area...they looked around my age...
