Police have impounded a Ducati motorcycle after the rider allegedly performed a mono in front of them in Cranbourne North on Thursday 19 October.
Officers observed the red Ducati stopped at traffic lights at the intersection of South Gippsland Highway and Glasscocks Road about 1.30pm.
When the lights turned green, the rider took off into a wheelie and quickly crashed back down to earth.
The 37-year-old rider from Port Melbourne will be charged on summons for failing to have proper control of a motorcycle.
His Ducati was impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1005.
Casey Highway Patrol Sergeant Shaun Tolliday said motorcyclists had been overrepresented in road trauma recently and urged riders to be sensible on the roads.
“This is a costly moment of silly behaviour from this rider, but we know that all too often it is those lapses in judgement or poor decisions that lead to tragedies on our roads,” he said.
