BERLIN (Reuters) - A British man on a motorcycle hit speeds of up to 240 kph (145 mph) trying to flee German police on a 20-km chase on a motorway before being stopped in a rush hour traffic jam near Frankfurt, police said on Thursday.

Police in the western town of Darmstadt said the 42-year-old Briton had evaded officers chasing him by weaving between other cars and hitting speeds well over the 100-kph limit.

"But he could not shake the officers in pursuit," a police spokesman said. Even though there are no speed limits on parts of German motorways, many sections do have strict limits.

The man was arrested after he got caught in a traffic jam near Frankfurt. Police said he was carrying documents suggesting he was taking part in an illegal race across Europe.

He was later released on a 500-euro (338 pound) bond but his motorcycle was confiscated.

So I take it he won't be coming to Soho on Friday then? And he said he was in Ireland.
