BIKER CLOCKED DOING '383MPH'

A BIKER has appealed after losing his licence when speed cameras clocked him riding at an impossible 383 mph.

Motorbike mad Paolo Turina of Cernusco Lombardone, Italy - who also copped a £200 fine - claims the speed camera was clearly so defective the charge should never have been brought.

The 26-year-old said: "If I could go that fast I'd enter my bike in the MotoGP world championships. What did they think they were clocking - a jet fighter?"

Police claim the camera was working perfectly but bungling staff botched the charge paperwork, as reported in the Austrian Times.

I’d like to say that this ticket must have gone out without a cop reviewing it first, but sadly I highly doubt it.

That’s a purty fast bike there.......

[goseminoles]

383 mph??? Wtf? LOL!!!!
That’s haulin’ ass!

[Daffynition]

Melted the tyres.

[Billthedrill]

Feh - that bike won't do more than 350 mph, tops.

(Man, I'd be framing that ticket...)

[driftdiver]

The fastest production bikes will go 168-190 mph.

The world record for a motorcycle without the fairing is just over 212 mph. With the fancy aerodynamic fairings its around 360 mph.

DAng.

Even turned the wheels part red........

My money is on THIS guy...

[Recon Dad]

Maybe they were supposed to convert

Answer: 383 km = 237.985 mi

They have cars that do that on the Autobahn.

[NormsRevenge]

If that don’t get him a date..

I’d have the citation screened onto a Tshirt

and wear it to biker bars..

that ought to impress the chicks.

HAHAHA! Perfect! How could we forget Dr Emmett Brown; “Dr. Emmett Brown: Roads? Where we’re going we don’t need roads.”

[RabidBartender]

LOL - you’re priceless.

[libertarian27]

That was great - if there was a way, you should send it to the guy - what a riot!

[GladesGuru]

That ticket probably was checked by a cop, likely the cousin of the one in Miami, FloriDUH, who wrote the following on an accident report:
“Found 37 feet of squid marks on pavement”.

This is hialrious and worthy of a “wow”...but he had done this in the US, he be sitting in jail with his bike impounded.

I was in a ski proshop (back in the day), and Steve McKinney was handing out autographs. I asked him to autograph my skis, and he obliged.

"Steve McKinney 125.4 MPH" (his world record at the time). The "dooooode" factor on the chairlift was priceless.

My Hero!

and on an ancient Moto Guzzi at that.

[MaxMax]

Ok, I clocked you at 245mph on that last lap
and you need to get it up to 265 mmmmK?

World speed record for a piston driven motorcycle:

24 September 2009 Bonneville, U.S. Chris Carr BUB - Lucky 7 streamliner 2,997 cc (182.9 cu in) 367.382 mph.

Per Wiki.

Two words: in sane. ;-)

It’s even faster metric!

Foreigners don’t understand miles and feet and furlongs and fornights and shilling and ha’ pennies.

[incredulous joe]

Nor do they comprehend stones.

Definitely something to hang on a wall for a long time!

At the least he could be a great salesman for Moto-Guzzi.

[isom35]

looks like Fred Flintstone scenery in the background.

[grey_whiskers]

Reminds me of this thread.

Cheers!

Oh, I thought this was about Lance Armstrong’s training for the Tour de France.

[Don W]

Do you think he could catch this VIKING KITTY on a motorbike?

[Daffynition]

Impossible.
