Police have arrested a disqualified motorcyclist from Coonalpyn for allegedly riding more than 100km over the speed limit using incorrect number plates, while under the influence of meth and wearing a pirate hat instead of a helmet.
Just before 12.30pm on Friday 27 September, a speed detection camera on Kulde Road at Tailem Bend captured a motorbike travelling at 151km/h in a 50km/h zone. The same vehicle returned a few minutes later travelling in the opposite direction and was captured going 146km/h.
The rider was photographed on camera with wearing what appeared to be a pirate hat and goggles.
Local patrols attended a Tailem Bend address where they located the motorbike and the suspected rider.
A 54-year-old man from Coonalpyn submitted to a drug test where he allegedly returned a positive result for methamphetamine.
He was arrested and is due in the Murray Bridge Magistrates Court today, Monday 30 September, charged with two counts of driving at an extreme speed, driving whilst being disqualified, driving with incorrect number plates, failing to wear a helmet and contravening mandatory alcohol interlock scheme conditions.
