A 40-year-old Point Cook motorcyclist who was clocked going 60km/h over the speed limit has had his bike impounded for a month.
Westgate Highway Patrol members first detected the man doing 120km/h in a 60km/h zone on Heaths Road just after midnight on Sunday and, after overtaking several vehicles, was clocked again at an alleged speed of 167km/h.
The rider was directed to pull over but rode off and cut through a grass reserve before losing control, dropping the motorcycle and running.
Police arrested him a short time later and he tested positive to a preliminary oral fluid test but refused to undergo a further test.
In addition to having his motorcycle impounded, the man is expected to be charged on summons with offences including evading police, speeding, unlicensed driving, having an unregistered motor vehicle, refusing to undergo an oral fluid test and learner riding a non learner approved motorcycle.
