So yesterday evening before work,i was out on my bike for a lil play and it was around 5pm heading home.. I pulled out of a junction and onto the main road and popped it up on the back wheel abit foolish of me to be fare because it was dark and as I passed the headlights of the car approaching me I happend to notice the big reflective "police" Doh!

lettering on the side of the car although they didn't turn around and follow me or give chase obviously as soon as I had seen the fuzz I dropped the front wheel and just casually rode like nothing had happend now I don't know if he got my plate? or anything cause it was dark..but should I just pray for the best, and mark this down to experience and stop being a tit on empty roads ? Rolling Eyes

What I'm wondering is has this happened to anyone else?

Oh and erm..supermoto's FTW Thumbs Up

So what you are saying is you accidentally went down a gear instead of up a gear and the front end lifted. Thumbs Up

That happens all the time. Wink

I've still got a caution that reads "Pulled a wheelie on a main road"

I said it was a new bike and I wasn't used to the power. It's semi true, it was a new bike, but it was half the power of the previous one. Laughing

Unless they stopped you there and then, youll be fine.
I uploaded a video of me on the back wheel doing a 5 mile wheelie up the M20 and the police found it. Came to my house. Got away due to hugh lack of evidence that it was me riding the bike.

Wouldnt worry about it.

R500 - Fail to keep all wheels on road surface.... Crying or Very sad

Unmarked cop car. Said he only caught me due to the next light being red or he said he never would have caught me as I was receding before his eyes when he saw the bike go up in the air Laughing

Ha, bet you thought it was a myth that police actually do that Laughing

Been loads of people busted for doing dumb shit and posting it on youtube...

Don't film your face, don't say it's you.
It was really arrogance and the ego, that killed the cat

That's an awful lot of time, money and police resources for THAT! You have any idea how much computer forensics people cost? For someone who didn't murder or commit and armed robbery, that's severe overkill. Did you get fined?

Case was sent to CPS, and came back as not being in the publics interest to prosecute. The police explained that they had been watching even after I was raided and saw the threads saying how I'd fell into depression and regretted what I'd done. It helped that I'd worked all my life, paid my taxes, owned my own house, had a clean license, no criminal record, basically a moment of madness.

after speaking to the solicitor, watching the footage together, collating how much evidence they had against me we decided to admit it was me in the video. my solicitor told me not to say a fucking word to any of the questions when we went to interview, don't nod my head, don't make any noises, don't shrug etc.

When the interview started my solicitor read out a pre-interview statement, basically saying I am admitting it was me in the video.

The police then began their interview questions, basically the more I admitted to the more they could pin on me, I was already told from what they had seen it would be a prison sentence. They asked questions like, Do you admit you broke the speed limit, do you admit that you were racing your friend Jason ( who they had also raided! ) do you think you were putting others at risk with your riding.

They basically wanted me to admit to driving without due care, or dangerous driving which makes their job easier, but I wasn't. My solicitor was a star and only made me agree that it was me in the video and it was up to the Police/CPS to prove otherwise. If it wasn't for her I would have probably fucked up and shook my head when they asked if I was speeding or something which the police would said I was doing during the taped interview.

I was very lucky not to be made an example like some of the other bikers that have been jailed for their videos, I was spared, and given just a section 59. I was even allowed to collect my bike from Macclesfield recovery the same day (didn't cost much, about £100 IIRC.)

I've learned my lesson through all this, and so have other people that read my threads during my low time, a hell of a lot of people removed their video's from youtube which is exactly the point the police were trying to get across.

And just to show you how thorough they are, I found this yesterday.

Yep, you read it right, they actually took a rear sprocket as evidence. The stuff they actually took filled up a whole spare room at cheshire police station.

Best advice, is to use McDonalds wifi or a cafe's free wifi to upload your videos, NEVER upload from yours or a mates.
When making your youtube account, don't put any real details like your name/DOB.
Don't link your youtube account to your Facebook account ( a new option youtube introduced )

When filming, ie. from your tank looking forward, don't have your bloody name in stickers running up the screen.
Don't have any unique stickers on show (I had A537 Cat n fiddle stickers showing in my video)
and don't go pointing the camera at yourself, either on or off the bike.

Give the police the least evidence as possible to link you to the video. Think like them!

or... Just don't upload it Laughing
