Motorcyclists fined $20,000 after pursuit on Pacific Highway
7, November 2003
A group of 12 motorcyclists has been fined in excess of $20,000 following a
15km police pursuit on the Pacific Highway near Newcastle today.

Police from Tuggerah Lakes first observed the riders about 11am travelling
north in formation on the F3 Freeway at an estimated speed of 140kph.

A Lake Macquarie police car with lights and sirens activated attempted to
stop the motorcyclists near the Toronto exit.

The riders ignored police warnings to stop and increased speed to 150kph,
weaving in and out of traffic as they travelled north through Hexham.

The motorcyclists eventually pulled to the side of the Pacific Highway near
Heatherbrae, about 4km north of Hexham Bridge.

Every member of the group was issued with a $1559 traffic infringement
notice for exceeding the speed limit by 45kph or over. The offence carries
an automatic license suspension of six months.

Several of the riders were also issued with infringement notices for defects
and other traffic offences.

Lake Macquarie Local Area Commander Michael Kenny praised the efforts of the
police involved in the incident, which passed through three local area
police commands.

"This is exactly the sort of offence for which this legislation was given to
us, when a gang of motorcyclists tries to out run police," Supt Kenny said.

"This has been a very good result."

 

If its a 'gang' patches, WGAF...

 

Do we know what "gang" they were from?

 

I wonder if it's Mark Bracks? There's a cryptic comment in AMCN today.

 

150? Not trying very hard. Not too many bends on the F3. If you're going
to get the maximum, you might as well test the red-line while you're at it.

 

it.

Obviously on Hardlies. The XX could have passed them at 150...



Dave ZZR600 => ST2 (stolen) => '03 XX

 

only 140.... must have been 250's on an L & P ride..

 

Sounds like the Ulysses Club

 

TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo fast for the Ulyssians...........

Huh!!!!! I'm old and still do 250ks. Cheeky youngsters.

 

Our local Ulysses group has to do that kind of speed just to get to the
next toilet after the last coffee stop.

Someone let Madeyes at loose on an internet
connection and the result was:

someones gotta 'fight for the right to.....party',
musta been ulysees members, a decent outlaw harley should do 200 kph
and 15 km @ 140 on a freeway is a bit limp wristed...you could do that on a
goldwing...with the cruise on...good lord, i've ridden a harley from bris to
syd at an average speed of 140...wouldnt do it these days tho...and i pity
the younger generation...missing out an all
if the cops keep this up people will die...they should give in like they
always have and watch from the side of the road as the pack thunders by

 

what type of bikes ?

 

Motorbikes (I think).

 

It was the VFR riders group, trying to break 160 km/h by slip streaming.

I heard it was pushbikes. Got done for breaking the laws of physics.

A fortune awaits the man or woman who invents Travel Toilet - a hose
clamped on to your weener, leading down a trouser leg to a disposable
baggie. Save all those stops, fumbling with gloves while bursting
desperate, ripping at zips and buckles etc with numb frozen hands. Hang
on, I just did invent it.

 

However, no simple solutions for the ladies present themselves to the
inventive mind.
