Seems about right TBH.


However, one thing that always gets me with these cases where there's loads of video evidence is how long the rozzers will let it go on for, before making their move. I mean, after the 4th, 5th, 6th wheelie and standing up on pegs moments they felt the need to let him carry on for another few miles mucking about with his rucksack rummaging, and then accelerating to over a ton, before finally putting an end to it all.

How much did they need to secure a conviction of this such dangerouse, very kitten killing activity?

His problem was he should have done it on a stolen bike. Then he could have had a 50p fine and 5 minutes community service.

I've been on the m6 regularly...kudos to him for finding the middle lane not full of Honda jazz.
Otherwise...twat.

Those wheelies are shit. couldn't even sustain for a whole second. also what's with all the extra stuff, "look ma no hands!" as if impressive...

Seems like a harsh punishment. No one was injured and the only one likely to be harmed was the biker if anything did happen.

Punishment doesn't sit well with me considering if you kill a biker on the roads and get a handshake and tube of smarties from the justice system.

is it illegal to ride with no hands?

or one hand for that matter?

Or do they just put it under 'due care and attention'
