He'll probably be posting on here soon as a cyclist. Can you imagine trying to get insurance?

"Any points?"

"39"

"please hold for a minute sir while I arrange for a shipment of KY jelly"

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/hampshire/7643925.stm

he has a 18month ban and the points are expected to be removed once he has served it. so he has got bugger all really.

 

[Jake]

he may not try and get any inssurence. Maybe i've been watching too many of those police car chase programs.

His insurance will be the price of a small house

Oh, so less than the paper bill then...

Yeah but I would not want to be him trying to insured on a cat 17 sports bike once he's served his ban. His insurance will be the price of a small house

Motorbike riders think they won't get caught because they have no front plate think again, pull a wheelie doing 82 in a 30, yer gonna get nicked.

I expect he would have clocked over the ton if the camera had been further up the road (i've ridden one of these bikes and they can lift the front wheel at an indicated 130mph off the throttle (i'd didn't, but I know a man who has)) TBH He wouldn't have got caught if he'd only done it once or twice, but he got cocky and kept repeating it (probably on the way home from or to work)

He was a total knob for doing it on a busy road in a 30 though. I think even he would admit this.

Pulling wheelies in a quiet (empty) stretch of tarmac is one thing, doing it with that traffic around on a bridge under a speed camera deserves a ban.
