The Scottish biker caught speeding

I actually think that's too fast on the road...

I understand the draw of extreme speed, and I enjoy it as much as my 33bhp will allow, but aren't corners much more fun than 160+ in a straight line?

Pah! What do you know.

Hence my 33bhp comment Scoobs...

It really depends if it was a one off, or he goews around at speeds like that all the time, completely different story...

'It was a one off officer, I just wanted to see how quick I could go'

Not to the police obviously..

So no one seems to think that 166 mph is taking it too far?

I don't as long as it was on a long safe straight with no other cars..

But wheres the fun in that?

There is a lot of difference between doing 100mph and 166mph in a straight line

Believe me

The caution was designed to free up the courts, ie somone with no previous convictions who was NEVER going to get a custodial sentence can be dealt with more effectively in this way.

Spidey - not a dig at your post, but used our comment to highlight a point.

Because it's nothing that will worry said scrotes or affect their behaviour in the slightest. A slap on the wrist with no sting to it. Thus, let off.


On another aside note, how many people have been given cautions without knowing that was them admitting fully to an offence there was little to no chance of a conviction of (i.e innocent?), and have had that on their records and thus seriously affected careers etc.

there is a guy somewhere who was banned for life in the UK from owning another bike was years and years ago

Believe me Sally, going at around those speeds is a huge buzz. Not as rewarding as getting a set of bends perfect but fun nevertheless.

But riding at those speeds for any length of time will almost certainly end in tears. Twisties is where the must fun is
