At approximately 11:28 hours this date an officer of the Traffic Management unit was conducting radar operations northbound on Municipal Road 80 near McCrae heights when he observed a Harley Davidson motorcycle travelling at a high rate of speed southbound.

 

 

The officer’s suspicions were confirmed by use of radar and a speed of 162 km/h in a posted 80 km/h zone was obtained. (82 km/h over the speed limit). The vehicle was subsequently stopped and a 31 year old male with an M2 drivers licence from Hanmer has been charged with the following offences:

 

• Stunt Driving – Driving in excess of 50 km/h over the speed limit

 

• Speeding – 162 km/h in a posted 80 km/h zone

 

• Drive motor vehicle – no current validation (Plate expired in 2010)

 

 

Traffic officers as well as uniform officers will continue to conduct radar enforcement to identify aggressive driving throughout the City of Greater Sudbury during Road Safety week.

And to think someone tried to tell me that there were no straight stretches that go down hill in that part of the country.......and I almost believed them.

A Harely at 162?

 

How long did they have to wait for the rest of the parts to catch up?

 

What kind of truck was towing the trailer it was on?

There are many parts of Texas where we can run almost that fast legally. Eat your hearts out.

I find riding on a super slab pretty boring....and the max on secondary hiways is 80 km/hr....so I hardly ever get into 5th!!!!

Sport biker at my work got caught at 160klm/hr in 50klm/hr zone outside work 2 weeks ago.(Ingersoll Ont.) Guy many years ago hit car going into parking lot at that speed and died on impact-landed 400 feet from bike which was in-bedded in car. DUMB! Lessons never seem to be learned.
