An Italian motorcyclist is appealing after he lost his licence when speed cameras clocked him at an impossible 616 kilometres an hour.

Paolo Turina claims the speed camera was so defective the charge should never have been brought.

He jokes they may have mixed him up with a jet fighter.

Turina says if he does not win his appeal he will be sending the feat to the Guinness Book of Records for a land-speed record.
