Sigh... Yes of course lets blame the tool (the rider of course). Need I say more?

What a complete spastic. Does he have to be a dribbling vegetable for 3 days before enough synapses fire to make a coherent sentence?
So, not only was he f##kin stupid enough to do 122mph in a straight line, get caught AND plead guilty to dangerous driving. Now it's the bikes fault!
Honestly your honor, the bike made me do it!
" In hindsight, I don't know why manufacturers make bikes that fast, they should be speed-restricted."
And now, because you are such a complete potato with the cognitive abilities of a child fed on MDMA and repeatedly kicked in the face, none of the rest of us know how much to twist a throttle?
Yup this guy fully deserves the 6 months in the nick just for being such a f###tard and giving mental deficits in general a bad name.

No doubt it would... But why give all the bike haters yet more ammo. Its just plain wrong. Reap what you saw and get on with it... stop passing the book.
Grow a pair basically.
As he says that he is thinking of sticking to the car in future I hope it isn't capable of speeds in excess of 70mph.

It's scary as a lot of us dabble in excess of these speeds on the weekend...not me of course... I think the sentence may be a little harsh (was probably justified because he put his son's life in danger) but still people who commit crimes such as gbh drugs etc usually end up with a caution or a suspended sentence.

No it wasn't justified.
It looks like they had a go with the dangerous driving charge for a laugh, and the complete moron pleaded guilty to it... Otherwise, I bet he would have just got a ban.
he blamed the bike ha thats classic let me write that down in my book of idiotic thing's i've seen today.

The guy is a knob on so many levels.
In the first bit the bbc did about him it had him bragging about it being the fastest bike around.
Now because hes made himself look a tool, hes saying he had no idea.
It was a harsh sentence but after this,
He deserves 6 months, if only just to keep a lying idiot off the road.
Just read the replys to the thread in the link...classic

How can you not notice your doing 122mph? did he think others had slowed down and fixtures were moving or something?

Agreed.
But let's not forget when and importantly why he said any of this:
Speaking to the North Devon Journal before his court appearance and subsequent jail sentence, Robert Bennett, 47, said:
I suspect a damage limitation exercise.
Other than that I'd go with YC's first post - he has such a way with words.

AKA...what he said^^^^
Speaking to the North Devon Journal before his court appearance and subsequent jail sentence, Numpty, 47, said:
The reason he said what he said was to make himself look sorry for what he had done before he went into court. I don't think he even considered how his comments would be viewed by the biking community or the safety nazis who want us restricted / car-bound / banned.
I know of others who have been in court for speeding, and they sold their bikes too in an attempt to look like they had learnt from their misjudgement and were trying to sort themselves out.

My speedo currently doesn't work. Neither does any of the rest of the clocks. So I have no idea how fast I went to work yesterday, and I'll also have no warning when I'm about to run out of go-go juice. :(
But he's still a c*ck.

Yup, according to the .Org coppers, "error 03" tells the operator "you've left your finger on the trigger too long, release it you muppet."
I just caught up with this via Visordown - how to make friends eh... T**t.

You could choose worse people to be :)
Knobber in my opinion, especially considering he upgraded his Busa to do 220mph.
Don't worry about it, it's just another one of those things that will never happen.
That bike could easily hit much higher speeds than that anyway. The max speed limit is 70mph, but this doesnt mean bikes should only go this fast because the engine shouldnt be maxxed out at motorway speeds.
What a complete spastic. Does he have to be a dribbling vegetable for 3 days before enough synapses fire to make a coherent sentence?
So, not only was he f##kin stupid enough to do 122mph in a straight line, get caught AND plead guilty to dangerous driving. Now it's the bikes fault!

The bike made me do it, so why the f!ck buy a busa, and complain when you twist you're right hand it goes over the speed limit.
Speed restricted bikes, is he taking the ****? F!ucktard.
I might be playing devils advocate here, and this is probably surprising coming from my position, but he didnt deserve the sentence at all. He was foolish, and yes by having a young boy on the back made it a gravity factor in the sentence, however 6 months for 122mph?
I spend all day processing files for far more henious crimes, filling out bad character applications which list the convictions and sentences which offenders are given and very rarely do I come up against someone with a custodial sentence. Only today have I filled out an application where a male under 20yrs old has an ASBO yet has breached it more than 25 times as well as other offences and has never had a custodial sentence.
The motorist is an easy target in this country. If you're a taxpayer, expect a much heftier sentence than one of a benefit claimant. If you're a motorcyclist, expect the punishment to be greater than that of a car driver. A car travelling at 122mph would have never seen a 6 month sentence.
Lord Ahmed who killed a man following using his mobile phone whilst driving was sentenced for just 12 weeks. Why?

Moral of the story quit the job become a scrubber if you're going to ride a bike do it illegally, worst you'll get is a tag.
+1 what a fu*k wit. He must have read about the busa before he bought it so he knew what he was gettign his self in for, after all it is the fastest production bike, Why should they speed restrict bikes, they dont speed restrict cars, o maybe its because all the fu*k wits in goveremnt have people to drive for them and if they were restriced then they would always be late. but it would never happen anyway

That bike was just so fast. You only have to touch the throttle and boom, it's gone. I never would have knowingly travelled at that speed, especially with my son on the back.
Those 'busas really need a speedo instead of a G-force guage. Sounds like he couldn't handle it at all, touch the throttle and off it goes. haha, ****

Or NOT, AS THE CASE MAY BE (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/south_yorkshire/7939988.stm)
Of course, we should all recognise that there is absolutely NO difference whatsoever between a 47 year old working class Devonian on a bike, and a 51 year old Pakistan-born career Labour politician and Peer in a Jaguar. And particularly not in their relative abilities to employ expensive legal advisers.

She said he had never been accused of, or admitted, causing death by dangerous driving.
And there's the difference.
Even so, it's still f.ucking ridiculous!
But he didn't get locked up for 122mph, he got locked up for being stupid enough to admit dangerous driving.
So tell me how on earth he was supposed to deny it? He was caught on camera, and to deny it would have likely resulted in a heftier sentence. Like ive said, he was foolish but the amount of crimes I see pass on a daily basis without custodial sentence for something which I consider far worse is what sticks in my throat. Of those I consider to be "decent" people going to court for driving offences, they get fairly hefty sentences. Meanwhile our regular customers go through the courts as often as I go to Tesco's yet they still get away with it.

"These bikes react amazingly quickly and sometimes it is very hard to tell how fast you are actually going."
What sort of t**t buys a 'Busa of all things, then claims to be surprised when it gets up to those sort of speeds very quickly. Isn't that precisely the whole point of a bike like that? When I got busted at over a ton, I hadn't realised (till after I glanced at the speedo after seeing the van) quite how fast I was going, but I knew I was speeding.
