Stupid Biker of the Month- This One's From Australia
Buckland, from The Mercury- A rider, whose name was not included in the article, was stopped and ticketed at 1:20 on the Tasman highway buzzing along at 207 km/h. Six points and a $400 ticket later, he was back on the streets, chastened but apparently none the wiser. The four-month automatic license disqualification there doesn't go into effect until the fine is paid.A short time later the same rider was caught and ticketed for cruising the same stretch of highway, this time at a more cautious 157 km/h. For the conversion challenged, 157 translates to about 98 mph! In case you were wondering, production bikes sold in the US are limited to a top speed of 87 mph out of the box.
The additional 6 points qualified the driver for an automatic suspension, this time extended to a total of 11 months!
