Biker banned for 3 months after proposing to girlfriend

I don't understand why the copper didn't pull him over straight away after the first offense instead of following him allowing him to further break the law..

he was lucky to only get a £500 fine it could of been a lot worse so an extra £15 and he is probably thinking he got off lightly. I doubt anyone will care if someone with that much disregard for other people's safety is back on a bike any time soon

I don't believe the story he concocted for the reason he was doing what he was doing, only from a journalist!

He was probably working for More Crap News

And of course while the journo was putting his life and everyone else's at risk, it was perfectly safe for the copper to ride at that speed because of his incredible training. Which is pretty much the same as what you get on a ROSPA course...

Did anyone see the stats in MCN on the number of unmarked police sportsbikes involved in single-vehicle accidents, ie ones where the rider just binned it? Made for interesting reading...

Btw I'm not anti-police by any stretch of the imagination - just find police motorcyclists can be a bit hypocritical and often don't exactly practice what they preach.
