A rider has had their motorcycle impounded after allegedly doing a "mono" in front of police, during the final moments of Operation Amity, in West Melbourne late last night.
Melbourne Highway Patrol officers allegedly spotted the motorcycle travelling at speed and only on its rear wheel along Footscray Road about 10.10pm.
The rider ended up in wheelie big trouble when they were clocked at an alleged speed of 127km/h in an 80 zone, more than 45km/h over the limit.
Officers pulled over the motorcycle.
It is alleged the rider, a 42-year-old St Albans man, couldn't provide any explanations for the circus show.
The long weekend antics will prove costly as the motorcycle was impounded for a period of 30 days and will cost the rider $999 to get the vehicle back.
The man is expected to be charged on summons for excessive speed and other driving offences.
The detection formed part of Operation Amity, a statewide road policing operation conducted over the Australia Day long weekend.
Police were highly visible across the weekend while enforcing road safety rules in an effort to reduce road trauma, targeting impaired driving, speed, fatigue and distraction offences.
The operation kicked off on Friday 23 January and concluded at 11:59pm on Monday 26 January.
