Doing the same thing past some parked cars... what's up with that?

50mph on a dual carriageway? Is that b*llocks reckless. Hardly a "crazy stunt" either.

I f***ing hate reporters, they need kicking in the nads.

It was me that called him a pr*ck

He is a local lad, so knows where the speed cameras are.

Wheelies are "cool", however there is a place and time for it. Pulling a wheelie whilst passing a speed camera at 50mph in a 30mph limit in a residential area past parked cars during school holidays (regardless of whether it is a dual carriageway or not) to me is being a pr1ck.

To me through speed cameras is where they are meant to be hoiked... speed cameras are in places where there is no hazard and it's usually clear and safe for a long distance

Pulling a wheelie whilst at 50mph in a 30mph limit in a residential area past parked cars where there might be puppies and babies during school holidays (regardless of whether it is a dual carriageway or not) to me is being a pr1ck.

Is that any better?

Apparently there need to have been at least 3 incidents in order for a council to erect one. I get your point though, a lot do seem to be in the middle of nowhere.

Define an incident. Their's probably includes pets being run over or some other stupid **** in order to make it pass

Wheelies are cool, so are proper rolling stoppies, I dont attempt them though as I would definitely end up on my face, like everytime I tried to do them on my mountain bike.

He was caught again racing down the same road on his blue Suzuki SV100 at 55mph on July 25.

Can I get a SV100, they can easily pop 55mph wheelies
