A MOTORCYCLIST with a pillion passenger has been caught travelling more than 100km/h over the speed limit on a busy inner city road.
Police intercepted the 31-year-old Rowville man on Queens Rd, South Melbourne about 9.30pm on Saturday.

He was clocked travelling at 176 km/h in a 70km zone.
Police media spokeswoman Kendra Jackson said police were stunned by the rider's recklessness.

His bike was impounded immediately and he was charged on summons.
He is expected to lose his license for at least a year.

why do people think they can get away with a stunt like that...on one of Melbournes busiest
and most policed roads???

He's from Rowville Smitty, probably never travelled to the big city before and never knew about these things called police. Or maybe he was late for a round of golf at Albert Park golf course

only you Kaz would think of glowing balls....

Ok Smitty, no arguments from me this time around
except to say.......................
Kaz and glowing balls....I'll have fun in the morning when I go into resiplex plastics and ask them to "polish my knob"
crash that is

Obviously had his head up his arse...otherwise he would have done a runner wouldn't he!!

But, if he was travelling towards the city, it's a great spot to open it up in first and second . There are no side streets on the left and traffic from the right is clearly visible entering the road. I reckon he picked the right spot, just didn't have his eyes open enough for the plod!!

plod have a habit of sitting at either end of that stretch (which is why I made the comment about the policing)
...both marked and unmarked cars and bikes. I have seen them there at 0500 in the morning and at 2300 at night
its just not the best place to play funny buggers, particularly in the current climate of crackdowns and blitzes
