Australian police have finally caught a high speed motorcyclist who had repeatedly eluded them by racing through the Sydney harbour tunnel.
The rider had for weeks been clocking up speeds of up to 220 kilometres (137 miles) per hour - and prevented police from tracking him down by covering his number plates.

He was arrested after police launched "Operation Knievel", named after the renowned American stunt motorcyclist, Evel Knievel.

They staked out the tunnel's entrance and exit, along with a freeway leading north of the city, but the motorcyclist was still too fast and police had to call off the chase because it was too dangerous.

The motorbike rider was eventually traced because officers managed to identify some of the figures on the concealed plates.

A 31-year-old man from an eastern Sydney suburb has been arrested and charged with speeding in a dangerous manner and obscuring a number plate.

His motorcycle has been confiscated and he is due in court in March.

you are entitled to your opinion.

mine is that i love it.

Why should i grow up, i like being a twat (your opinion) just as much as you like being a motorcyclist/commuter/tourer and your flying.

Bikers were bad boys, modern day outlaws and have always had a fixation with speed and risk.

 

[Cruser]

I don't think he should be judged on the report,

there isn't enough info in it about time, type of road etc etc.

Hanging the guy on the strength of a news report is exactly the problem that we all suffer from when peeps ('ordinary' car driving folk) jump to the wrong conclusions about bikers....

 

[AV8TOR]

Your so right Wolfie Dont grow up, thats your right :bow:

Wolfie you REBEL:k

 

[Wolfie]

shhhh dont tell everybody :neenaw: :neenaw:

bikers still are bad boys, modern day outlaws, its the motorcyclists that spoil it all now.

 

[Jono]

Speed is fine......where its safe......but lose control of the bike and DO YOU KNOW WHERE ITS GOING..... NO, you just dont want to go with it, so you get/fall off, then you have a huge chunk of metal flying down the road out of control, to land where? In amongst your family or mine.....and the consequences/excuse....."bikers are bad boys",.......B*****KS!:xm :xm

 

[Wolfie]

who said do it when others are about??????

Borrox back to yer!!


if you go to a meet where the boys are doing their stuff, you are accepting the risk, just as they are, if you don't like it dont go.


Also by the same token the TT should be banned then eh???

 

[Jono]

No problems at organised events, everyone is aware of the risks and most are well controlled, it's the wannabes that try to emulate their heoes in public places that present the real danger, we've all probably witnessed them coming away from some event or other, if your bike aware it's not so bad........unfortunately the majority of road users are not.:rant:

 

[skippy]

Ya wanna play Ya gotta pay..........

He played now he's gotta pay. so what's the problem :dunno:

 

[Geoff James]

Ahem.....

Surely everyone enjoys being a twat on the odd occasion???? It still involves weighing up the risks though (after all, I didn't say a COMPLETE TWAT)!

Well ive read all the posts and Ive gotta say that the Aussie was a completely ingorant posing twat. His idea was to show everybody how fast and hard he was. (lots of people around in built up areas to be "impressed" NOT) Wxxxxr!
He loses it and wipes out a few people walking to the shops with 1/2 ton of aluminium travelling at 120+ mph!!!
In my local coastal town we get twats like that in cars and on bikes that think its "cool" to do twice the limit along the seafront over the sleeping policemen with their stereos running at 130db.
(delete the stereos bit for the bikes(and delete this bit if you drive a goldwing!)) whilst little Johnny is thinking of the beach and Ice cream as he runs across the road!!
wxxxxrs!
I speed
whats the point in having a Blackbird if you dont (red is best!)
But I take into consideration the road conditions, where I am and what my bike will do if I part company with it. Anyone can go fast down a straight dual carriageway (boring)
The bendy bits where its at!!!
Blackbird does it well for such a lard arse.
I had a Hayabusa for 13 months and it was shite!!!
Fast but theres more to it than that!!!


I feel better now

thanks for listening


bye

(lots of people around in built up areas to be "impressed" NOT

where does it say that there was anybody else about????

I know a person who races sometimes, totally illegal, but it is at 2am - 3am and the only other people about are the other racers and their mates there might be 2 or 10 of them, and belive me they do alot more 137mph on the roads they use.

Until such time as the full facts are known to me then i will give him the benifit of doubt. if then he has acted like a twat or whatever then i will call him one.

 

[Jono]

Agree with that M8, recently a modern day outlaw lost control of his machine while attempting a wheelie.....killed himself and the guy in the car who valiantly tried to avoid him and ended up having a head on with another vehicle. result for a bit of bravado.....2 dead, 1 seriously injured (may not walk again), fire crews to cut the dead out of the wreckage, Ambulance crew to attempt to resucitate and convey to Hospital, Police to go to the next of kin and say sorry your husband, dad, son, or whatever is dead X 2.

 

[adethefoot]

man8um
point taken but have you been to Sydney?
There are always people about!!!
Very cosmopolitan, people just wander and shop and look cool..
If he does it through the harbour tunnel, he will do it else where..
Its a built up area, nuff said. there is no point or need or reason to do this in built up areas. The roads in Aus and NZ are awesome, better than ours by a long way (ive travelled them extensively) I have been lucky enough to experience the roads on a VFR400R. You dont want to be in a built up area, noooo way...

Top man Wolfie, well put. And that is the point that every one misses, the risk.

This is a phenomenon that is completely incomprehensible to some people. And so is that speed, if you have been travelling fast for a while 140 can feel pretty slow. But a car driver or a steady rider would never be able to understand this, 140 would petrify one person and bore the next.

The very controversial and equally hard to explain bit is, fast riders and drivers are more dangerous when they are "dumed down"
than when they are travelling at a speed they feel comfortable at.

One of the many reasons I ride is for the risk, the adrenalin moment, the near death experience. But the way I look at it is I am still far less likely to kill someone if it all goes tit's up than the paper reading, mobile texting, myopic, 20mph driving twats I encounter every day on the road.

please note that at no point did I condone speeding in a built up area, but I recon tunnels are fair game :m
