$12,000 Speeding fine
Biker's big brake
Man's $12,000 fine for doing 263 kmh on his motorcycle may be record
A motorcyclist has been slapped with a whopping $12,000 fine after RCMP clocked him at 263 kmh on a stretch of Highway 16 between Edson and Hinton.
The 34-year-old Hinton man, whose name was not released by Mounties, struck a deal Wednesday with a Crown prosecutor that allowed him to keep his licence in exchange for the hefty fine, Edson RCMP said yesterday.
And it may just be a record.
"It's the most expensive fine I've seen for a traffic offence handed by the court in Alberta," said Edson RCMP Sgt. Ron Lyons.
Around 6 p.m. on May 1, a traffic officer noticed the high-flyer on a Honda CBR motorcycle on the four-lane highway - driving at more than twice the posted speed limit of 110 kmh.
The traffic cop tried to chase the speed demon but couldn't keep up with the sport bike.
The same officer later caught up to the motorcyclist in Hinton - 286 km west of Edmonton - where he was ticketed.
Well I wonder if that will slow him down a bit?

OK I admit at 36 I occasionally like to get her up there. I guess the closer to death you come, the more alive you feel. I have never gone as fast as this guy, though. The fastest I have gone is 110....
