Hoon loses motorbike twice in fortnight

A 30-year-old Doncaster man has had his motorcycle confiscated twice in two weeks for speeding under new anti-hoon legislation.
The man, who police have not yet identified because he is yet to be charged, was caught driving at approximately 120 kilometres per hour in a 70kmh zone along Manningham Road around 9.30pm on Monday. It was the same section of road where police also caught him speeding only two weeks earlier.
On both occasions, the rider had his Ducatti motorcycle seized for a minimum of 48 hours, under anti-hoon legislation, which was introduced July 2006.
Police said they expected to charged him with traffic offences. The court could order his motorcycle to be impounded for a period of three months and cancel his licence up to 12 months. Senior Constable Mick McGill, of the Manningham Traffic Management Unit, said that riders were mistaken if they though hoon behaviour was simply so-called burn outs or wheelies.
Under the laws, motorcycles can be impounded for exceeding the speed limit by 45 kilometres or more
