The man of a high-powered motorcycle caught exceeding the speed limit by two times had bogus license plates, was uninsured, and had been barred from riding for more than eighty years.
NSW Police claim Jason Flood had sixty years remaining on the license suspension he received in 2001 when he was discovered riding a black Suzuki superbike in the southwest of Wollongong.
When police attempted to stop Flood on the Princes Highway in Unanderra on Tuesday night, he allegedly reached speeds of up to 160 km/h, double the speed limit, before the pursuit was terminated.
Flood was riding a Suzuki GSX-R1000 that can go from 0 to 100 km/h in three seconds.
Jason Paul Flood, 46, was riding a black and gold Suzuki GSX-R1000 on the Princes Highway south of Sydney around 10pm on Tuesday when he was requested to pull over by police.
Flood was basically given a lifelong ban in 2001 when he was prohibited from riding until the year 2082.
Police claim they subsequently discovered the motorcycle on a road in Kanahooka and the rider nearby.
After being apprehended following a foot pursuit, the suspect allegedly lied to police about his man.
He was prohibited from operating a motorcycle from 2001 to 2082, and the motorcycle was uninsured.
Police report that the motorcycle’s registration expired more than two years ago and that the license plates were counterfeit.
The man was charged with 10 offenses pertaining to the motorcycle, the pursuit, and lying. He also had four outstanding warrants in Dubbo and Parramatta for drug supply, violence, and other offenses.
Police will assert in court that the license plate on the motorcycle was a clone and that the correct registration expired in July 2020, according to a police statement.
He was denied bail and appeared Wednesday in Wollongong Local Court.
Flood faced ten accusations in court, including reckless/violent driving, driving while disqualified, operating an unregistered and uninsured car, presenting false information, resisting arrest, and property destruction.
