Jupiter is famous for being somewhat unpopulated out west. You can ride 150MPH on a Sunday morning (don't ask how I know) and not even pass a single car. Wildlife is your biggest concern (deer, wild boar, gators etc). If this guy only took the west bound exit he would have been home free, east bound is a cork screw that leads into town. Wesley Snipes got arrested for trying to ditch the cops on a bike after tossing a bag of weed in this same spot about 15 years ago. He wrecked also and got arrested.......
This guy didn't get off as easy....
Motorcyclist killed in Jupiter crash was speeding away from state trooper

A motorcyclist killed Sunday morning in Jupiter was speeding down Interstate 95 with a Florida Highway Patrol trooper on his tail when he made a fatal choice to take the eastbound Indiantown exit - a tight curve that sent the 20-year-old into the metal guardrail.
In a report released Monday afternoon, Florida Highway Patrol officials say that Christian Holmes of Coral Springs in Broward County caught the eye of a trooper clocking southbound traffic on the interstate near the Palm City exit about 11:25 a.m.
In a span of about six minutes and 12 miles, the trooper tried to overtake the motorcycle until the motorcycle approached the State Road 706 exit, Florida Highway Patrol spokesman Lt. Tim Frith said. While the westbound exit from the interstate is rather gradual, the eastbound exit is not. The curve is tight and the posted speed limit for those exiting is 20 mph.
The driver failed to make the turn, crashed into a metal guardrail and died at the scene, the report released Monday said.
