According to the pilot, this is most likely a speed record for the air support unit.

The SPS plane tracked the driver heading south on Highway 45 from Delisle. The driver eventually dumped the bike and ran, according to police.

In a statement Wednesday, Saskatoon police said the file was turned over to the RCMP in the area.
