I hate MCN.

Has he had the court case for it? Id be worried about a jail sentance never mind a ban with the current hysteria about anything to do with 100mph plus motor offences.

No [Censored] way would I ever stop if I inadvertantly wheelied in sight of a copper at that sorta speed.

He escaped a jain sentence as he owns a haulage buisness but got a ban and fine

I reckon anyone stupid enough to pull a wheelie at that speed with out if looking around to notice a bright yellow bloody volvo behind them is asking for trouble and deserves what they get - the roads aren't a race track and if we're willing to do the crime we should be willing to accept the consequences

That said i obviously didn't deserve any of the 6 point I have

Well IMO i would of sped off and took my chances of being caught.........

im sure the ZX10 would have been out a few times on test rides and it would of been hard for them to point a finger at any rider

I agree, sucks for him to be banned, but if you're gonna do something like that then you have to be aware of what else is around you.

I think that everytime I get on a bike it's a roll of the dice, and if say I get a speeding ticket for speeding, then I am not gonna try to fight it, I deserved the ticket and just happened to get caught that time.
Hate to say it, but, do the crime...do the time.
