Victoria police have clocked a learner motorcyclist riding at more than 140 km/h in suburban Melbourne.

The 30-year-old Reservoir man was caught speeding at 144 kmh in a 60 zone on St Georges Road, Preston, about 3.15am today, police say.

The motorcycle was seized under Victoria's anti-hoon laws.

The man will be charged on summons with speeding and dangerous driving.

He would appear in court on a date to be fixed, a police spokesman said.

I've always thought St Georges road should have been atleast a 80kmph zone. It's dual carriage way, two lanes each side..

Used to live on it

Motorcyclists 'caught 100km/h over limit'

Article from: AAP

NSW police said two motorcyclists caught speeding more than 100km/h over the limit at the weekend have been charged with multiple offences.

They allege a 28-year-old man was clocked about 7am (AEST) yesterday travelling at 200km/h in an 80km/h zone near the intersection of Gore Hill Freeway and the Pacific Highway on Sydney's lower north shore. He was breathalised, returning a blood alcohol level of 0.105 - twice the legal limit - and will appear in North Sydney Local Court on May 29.

In another incident around 10.25pm yesterday, police spotted two people on a motorcycle travelling about 180km/h in a 80km/h zone on Wyong Road, Berkeley Vale, on the NSW Central Coast. The motorcycle accelerated away from police following in a marked patrol car. The pursuit ended when the motorcyclist lost control on a grass shoulder. Both he and his passenger were thrown from the bike but escaped injury.

Police said the 24-year-old male rider driver had already been disqualified from driving until 2015. He was charged with numerous offences, including using an unregistered and uninsured machine, riding while disqualified and resisting an officer in the execution of his duty.

Yeah and add to that a motorcycle fatality at Heidelberg-Kinglake Rd and we have the right ingredients for a nationwide blitz, any minute now I expect police to be targetting motorcyclists in Vic at least.

the age wrote: The speeding L-plater was caught just hours after a 25-year-old Mill Park motorcyclist was killed after losing control of his bike on the Heidelberg-Kinglake Rd, Kinglake, about 4.40pm on Sunday.

And on other unrelated random statements..... This incident happened within days of me cutting my toenails...

I farkin hate the sensationalisms that the age puts in sometimes.... the other rider was on a country road, going to fast and came off the bike.... this rider was on a suburban road, and didnt fall off........
