Seduced by speed?!?!?

[TheOnlyNemesis]

More bad rep for bikers

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/south_of_scotland/8329590.stm

how can anyone claim to be seduced by speed and then be quoted as ashamed of his conviction?

[the white rabbit]

Most shocking thing about this case is the geezer is supposed to be a hairdresser and look at his barnet

His name isn't Angus Blackburn, by the way.

What is it with all these '...more bad rep for bike..'

So a biker was caught speeding who may or may not have said a load of carp in mitigation etc ..... ?

I used to live just across the road from a place in Edinburgh called Cockburn Street, ALWAYS loads of tourists getting their pictures taken there for some reason...

[metalangel]

Cos they don't know how to pronounce it!

coburn st

That is a quality barnet and street name, you couldn't make these things up! Must remember not to use the seduced by speed argument if I were to ever find myself in this situation (very unlikely though as me slow!) as 9 months in clink is a bad result :D

His lawyer said it in court. Always happens that some journo is in watching and thinks "that'll make a nifty tagline!"

Yeah, those that are near the Dolphinton straight, watch it, it's a favourite in their unmarked cars. There's camera vans there more often now too.

And for all you non-Borders folk out there - it's pronounced 'Co-burns-path'

Got a 5 year ban too. Ouch! Cockburnspath isn't exactly on your main bus route!!

[speedplay]

I still think he should have been jailed for not trying hard enough..:rolleyes:

[scooby2102]

and the bampot who killed the poor guy a couple of months back (in Glasgow) gets the same - 9 mths

[svdemon]

Thats british justice for you, murder and going a bit quick on a motorcycle - same thing!
