Bonner man's ride in north Canberra ends with $1891 fine

A 50-year-old motorcyclist has lost his licence after he was allegedly caught speeding on Horse Park Drive in north Canberra.

The Bonner man was pulled over in Harrison about 11.20am on Thursday, July 23, days after a weekend blitz spotlighted motorists caught travelling at "ridiculous" speeds across the city.

ACT police officers patrolling the area allege the rider was travelling at 131 kmh along the 80 kmh road.

The man, whose licence has been suspended for six months, was fined $1891 and received six demerit points.
