A South Australian motorcyclist has been charged after allegedly speeding 100km/h over the limit while wearing a pirate hat.

A speed camera first captured a man wearing a pirate hat and goggles speeding down Kulde Road at Tailem Bend in Murray Mallee, going 151km/h in the 50km/h zone at 12.30pm on Friday.

The same bike was captured a few minutes later, travelling 146km/h in the opposite direction.

Local police quickly attended a Tailem Bend address where they found the bike and the alleged rider.

The 54-year-old man submitted to a drug test, returning a positive result for methamphetamine.

He was arrested and charged with two counts of driving at an extreme speed, driving whilst disqualified, driving with incorrect plates and failing to wear a helmet.

He was refused police bail and will appear in Murray Bridge Magistrates Court on Monday next week.
