There's a yank vlogger who has a few popular videos of him doing 150+ on his R6 but they seem to get away with it over there. Think his name is chaseontwowheels or something.

I don't know how that can stand up, I know my video camera isn't calibrated, so I would argue that the product you end up with on film, should not be expected to be accurate to real time. I'm sure most people have had videos where the sound and picture are out of sync by the end of the clip, because they are playing at slightly different speeds, and thus at least one is not at the same speed as real life, when the vid was taken.

It's weird how he was done for dangerous driving when he actually appeared to be riding with a lot more care, attention and consideration for other road users than all of us doubtless see every day.

If you are going to incriminate yourself, may I suggest following this chap's example?

Sorry, Redoko, I disagree.. That's what YouTube is was all about, after all.

I have to agree - essentially what you're doing is posting evidence of a crime on the internet for potentially anyone to see. Although it'd be nice if they [the police] took no notice, sadly they do and so it's therefore probably best not to do it.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if ze authorities are monitoring sites like this either. Therefore probably not unwise to do a bit of East German-style self-censorship on occasion.

This guy, he had several videos up a while back & removed all but the tamest one, that being the one that landed him 12 months of bus rides

[Kradmelder]

How can they prove in court it is him? He is not on a video nor is his plate.

So he posted a vid on the net. Thats an action of someone who is proud of what they did, hence the reason they want to show off what they did to the world. Based on this fact, what generated this part:

"The 25-year-old factory worker, of Irby, Wirral, was ashamed of his behaviour, Prestatyn magistrates heard."

Anyway there plenty of people on this forum who have gone much faster, myself included. (my name is santa clause and because climate change has made the north pole disappear I now live in the bermuda triangle).

I thought his riding was pretty much spot on
ok slight exaggeration, don't think it warranted a 12 month ban though.

Big bikes nowadays, what like 100 mph plus easy in 2 /3 gear, and these sort of bans for riding as such in a safe manner on a A road, then being forced to say sorry when your not.

Fucking nazis.

If people would stop with the criminal activity then the "waste of money and resources" involved in prosecuting them wouldn't be necessary. It'd not matter so much if convictions included "paying for all of the resources used in a successful prosecution" but it doesn't - we all chip in for that.

People would think twice if their "3-points + £60" fine was topped up with "+ £15,000 for what it cost in emergency services and lawyers etc. to prosecute you...".

...oh, and the £10,000,000 in 3rd-party damages and compensation when you get unlucky and mow-down a bus-queue...
