Sliding biker snapped by speed camera at over 80mph
THIS DUTCH biker has just clocked a new record in the Netherlands, for getting caught speeding by the cops on camera at 137kph – while sliding along on his backside.
The unnamed 50-year old suffered a broken hand in the spill, but wasn’t charged because when the picture was taken he was not technically riding his bike.
We bloody love this story!

Jammy Bast@rd.....

Surely the bigger issues here is that the poor bloke probably fell off because he was breaking like crazy to avoid getting caught by the camera and stacked it?
Ok - so he shouldnt have been speeding. But you can hardly call them safety cameras when they're making motorists crash to avoid them.

Good point about the safety camera. Glad the rider was OK.
Is that a Ducati in the picture - I've heard the handling is a bit suspect.

So if you are not actually connected to the bike you can't get a ticket. Brilliant! I'm sure the police here would find a way to get around that loop hole.

it's not the speed you fall off that hurts it how quickly you stop after you fall off.

how the hell he could crash in a country with very little bends and flat as a witches tit

Perhaps he already had 9 points and had to avoid the ticket to keep his licence.
Is that what you would call ''Going flat out !''

If you see the way the Dutch ride ie like wankers you would not be suprised that this happened. But then again it is like most of the power ranger types who only ride when the weather is fine and think they can ride.
There are lots of people who ride bike's but few real biker's.
