Probably belongs in Goose of the week but that's Smitty's gig 
A man has been seriously injured whilst riding an unregistered trail bike in Horsham this morning.
Investigators have been told the man was riding with no lights south along Cameron Road North when he collided with a road sign at the intersection of Priors Road about 12.20am.
The Horsham man and his 19-year-old pillion passenger were thrown from the bike.
He suffered two broken arms and spinal injuries whilst his female passenger suffered minor injuries.
It is believed the Horsham woman was not wearing a helmet.
The pair was conveyed to the Wimmera Base hospital.
The man is expected to be transferred to The Alfred hospital later today.
Police will investigate if speed was a cause in the collision.
