A motorcyclist is going nowhere fast after a Washington State Patrol trooper caught him driving nearly twice the speed limit Tuesday on I-5 in Marysville.

Trooper Mark Francis tweeted a photo Tuesday afternoon showing the rider was clocked at 119 miles per hour in a 60 mile per hour zone.

“#PoorChoice” Francis wrote in his tweet. The rider was arrested for reckless driving.

If convicted, the rider faces up to a year in jail and a $5,000 fine. The rider could also have his license suspended for 30 days.
