A MOTORCYCLIST will "almost certainly" lose his licence after being caught speeding over 100mph.
An officer followed the rider doing in excess of 115mph on a main road.
He is due to be summoned to court for treating the "roads like a race track".
PC Tom Van Der Wee shared the encounter on Twitter, along with dashcam footage of the rider's speed.
That’s the file submitted for a motorbike rider I followed in excess of 115mph. He’ll be summonsed to Court and will almost certainly lose his licence.

It comes just days after a driver was caught doing over double the speed limit on a popular seafront road.
Police slammed the motorist's behaviour as "completely unacceptable" as he sped to 78mph in Kingsway, Hove.
The speed limit for the road is 30mph.
The driver is set to appear in court over the incident.
