A motorcyclist has lost his wheels for a month after being caught travelling at more than double the speed limit in Glen Waverley this morning.
Nunawading Highway Patrol members were conducting laser speed checks on the Monash Freeway when they heard the roaring of a rapidly approaching motorbike just after 3am.
The officers could barely believe their eyes when their laser clocked the rider at the alleged speed of 225km/h.
They caught up with the Honda when he exited the freeway and stopped at a set of lights at the Clyde Road off-ramp.
The 22-year-old rider could provide police with no reason as to why he was in such a hurry.
Not only was he travelling at dangerously high speeds, he was wearing only a tracksuit which would provide zero protection if he came off his bike.
The Narre Warren South man's motorcycle was impounded at a cost of $1120.50 and he can expect to be charged on summons with speed dangerous.
