A N.L. motorcyclist caught going 219 km/h in a 100 km/h zone also owes $19,000 in fines, police say.

The 33-year-old man was stopped for speeding Thursday night. He was charged with impaired driving, and ticketed for speeding and using an unregistered vehicle.

The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary said the man's motorcycle was seized after he was stopped at a red light.

The man is to appear in court at a later date. Police said he is currently on a plan to pay off his outstanding fines.
