It's something that's left plenty of drivers unnerved – motorcycles, sometimes referred to as crotch rockets, roaring by in a blur.

On Friday, Michigan State Police called out two motorcyclists on Twitter for doing more than that -- they were clocked at 118 mph on I-75 and zoomed down a closed construction lane at speeds of 90-100 mph, heading toward an area of construction workers.

"Today’s Shake My Head Award: Over night two motorcycles were NB I-75 at 7 Mile traveling at 118 mph, entered the active construction zone with 3 lanes closed down to 1," Michigan State Police said in the post.

Troopers arrested one of one the motorcyclists for reckless driving. The driver also didn't have a cycle endorsement.

"Congrats, you've earned 6 points on your license and your motorcycle is in the tow yard," the agency tweeted.

Troopers haven't caught the other driver yet, according to Michigan State Police.
