A man has had his motorcycle impounded after he was allegedly caught speeding in Albert Park.
He might have thought he was on the F1 racetrack, but State Highway Patrol officers spotted the white BMW S1000R sports bike speeding on Beaconsfield Parade about 9.50am on Wednesday, 26 March.
The bike was allegedly clocked doing 145km/h in a 60km/hr zone.
Officers safely intercepted the vehicle and spoke to the rider.
They were shocked to find he was not prepared for the ride, and was wearing shorts, socks and Crocs.
The bike was impounded at a cost of $953.30.
The 31-year-old Brighton man is expected to be charged with speed dangerous, drive manner dangerous, careless driving and number plate offences.
State Highway Patrol is focused on reducing road trauma involving motorcyclists as part of Operation Protect.
Motorcyclists continue to be over-represented in road trauma, with 17 rider fatalities on Victorian roads so far this year.
Excessive or inappropriate speed continues to be one of the major factors in fatal collisions involving motorcyclists.
