Magistrates' chairman Colin Reeve told Dove: "My first thought when I heard the speed was, 'Ouch!'.

"This figure - 107 in a 40 - is completely off our scale. We don't even have a guideline for that. (It is) suitable only for a race track not for a public road."
Someone needs to inform Colin about the German Autobahns, they've had unrestricted sections of dual carriageway for decades where you could safely do 107, 157, 207mph all legally, think of the droves of kittens that must be dying due to people doing speeds only suitable on a race track!!!!!

****ing retard

A guy on a bike forum in East Anglia got a 2 year ban, a massive fine and ordered to retake his test for an awesome 120mph minger past an un-marked car on a dual carriageway. His ZX-10R was nicely tweaked and had been dynoed at 175hp at the tyre so to him it was nothing major but to other road users it might be considered dangerous

Why, are you one of those tree hugging types that considers speed dangerous. He got done for speeding, not dangerous driving.
