Below was taken from the daily telgraph.
20 minutes to get from Jamisontown to Glenmore Park? He must have taken a wrong turn somewhere or like everyone else he got lost once he entered Glenmore Park.



A MOTORCYCLIST captured on film riding at more than 200km/hr in heavy traffic along several major roads, including a freeway, has been jailed for a minimum of 12 months by a Sydney magistrate.

And 37-year-old Craig Douglas Thompson has been disqualified from driving for another 20 years.


At the time of these offences he was riding a stolen motorcycle and under the influence of drugs.

His dangerous riding was captured by a Polair camera during a pursuit which commenced at Jamisontown, in Sydney's west and ended more than 20 minutes later at Glenmore Park.


Full Storey.

I don't think he would have any luck. The artilce states he is a career criminal with B&E heading th elong list of offences he has been charged with previously. It wouldn't just be the speeding he would be charged with. The bike was stolen, he was on drugs and in posesion of stolen goods other that the bike. Throw in risisting arrest and several other traffic infingments from the police video and he would be racking up the sentance pretty quickly.

He'll get better drugs inside anyway, I reckon they did him a favour.

We Should tatoo his forhead "USA all the Way" & send him to Back packen' through the Pakistan Highlands.
Save my tax dollars on the Oxygen thief.

And you'd reckon there'd be a fair chance he was on a bond or suspended sentence for something else from the past if he hs priors and was not in the clink already.....

And like he will respect his lack of ticket to drive when he gets out Another great advertisment for the rest of us who ride motorcycles

I agree NOT a good reflection on motorcyclists THe speed is one thing. Now we are all criminals too
Means more heat for you and me..........NOT happy Jan !

You can take drugs, steal shit but it takes the dreaded speeding to get locked up. He should have stuck to the crack and stealing peoples hard earned goods.

Speeding.....What a loser!

It's funny; the big deal was only made about the speeding... nothing about being jailed for stealign the bike etc

yeah he was labeled a 'motorcyclist'

not a thief
or criminal
or drug addict
or farkwit
