A MOTORCYCLIST has found himself on the police radar after taunting traffic cameras by speeding past with his hand covering the bike's number plate.
The man was caught over the Easter weekend travelling at 129km/h on the Pacific Motorway at Gaven, his hand stretched behind to hide his registration.
Police believe he has done the same thing on other occasions.

The motorcyclists were among 10,214 people caught by speed cameras over the long weekend.
State Traffic Support Branch Acting Superintendent Allan Hales said it was terrible people were willing to take so many risks on the roads.
"It's terrible. I shudder to think what would happen if you crashed at that speed without any protection whatsoever," he said.
"Even in something hardy, he is dead at those speeds."
He said it was frustrating for police, particularly those who routinely attend fatal crashes, to see people putting themselves and others in danger.
"What message do you try and get out there?" he said.
"We seem to say a lot of the same things at times and we are often disappointed by the results.
"But all we can do is show a bit of tenacity and a bit of perseverance and keep going out there and trying our best.
"I know people can be negative about cameras, but as soon as you put one in, you see the speeds drop down dramatically."
Among those caught speeding on Monday was a driver travelling at 126km/h in a 60km/h zone on Anzac Ave, Kallangur and another doing 141km/h in an 80km/h zone in Wynnum.
On Sunday, police caught a motorist doing 142km/h in a 90km/h zone on the Warrego Highway near Dalby and another travelling at 150km/h on the Warrego Highway in Chinchilla.
A motorist was clocked travelling at 161km/h in a 100km/h zone on the Logan Motorway in Meadowbrook on Saturday and another driver was caught doing 118km/h in a 60km/h zone on Jubilee Tce, Bardon.
Supt Hales said drivers took incredible risks travelling at such speeds on roads not designed for it.
"Some of these speeds are horrendous," he said.
"All roads are designed for different speed ratings and when people exceed those limits grossly you are not only exceeding the speed limit you are also exceeding the road's ability to give you any safety at all," he said.
"Travelling at high speeds reduces the driver's capacity to respond to something happening in front of them."
Supt Hales asked anyone who recognised the motorbike rider pictured hiding his numberplate to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
