Story in mcn today.


Man stopped by police for hooking 120 mph wheelie then he put it down and wound the zx 10 that he was test riding up to 130mph before plod pulled him

lol i have just read that too.........what a prat

Yeah saw that, son't you find that MCN weekly is about the only decent bike paper/mag:?:

Why didnt he use the other 4 gears??? Sissy.

When I read thread title I thought you was gonna tell us you were banned.

We all are if you put your cursor over the red square!

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.

that would depend on how big and readable your plate is.

But anit anything smaller than standard 6x9 or wateva it is.. illegal??
