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.

Definitely something to hang on a wall for a long time!
At the least he could be a great salesman for Moto-Guzzi.

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