Got no sympathy whatsoever for this guy I'm afraid. I love the speed of a bike but why couldn't he book himself on a trackday ffs... Just giving all the idiots like brunstrom even more ammo in the quest to get us restricted/banned...

i agree with your statement above, what do you think is a just punishment for this guy?

this debate crops up on here regularly, in fact im gonna start a thread

I wonder if it was on 04/05 or 06/07 or new 08 one. I manager 189mph on the clock at the Nurburgring on my 04. 170 is a bit excessive but as with all things I think the other offences play a significant part. Perhaps 1 year on an SR50?. The annoying part of any license losing is that you lose both the CAR and the Bike if you get busted on either! Pay two lots of increased Insurance! I think jail is ridiculous. Nowhere near the same league as rapists etc...

Did you ever hear anyone say “That picture had better be banned, because I might look at it and it might be very damaging to me”

i have been to cornwall, and i never noticed a road straight enough to to get up to 170 on...still, cream teas are awsome.

Never rode down the A30 then....???

Personally, I would say that 170mph is quite reckless, and I would never admit to doing 186mph..... never ever.....

all i remember is traffic. and those cream teas......mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

 also really fit women....serving cream teas.

You have to go out at the right time of the evening when all the holiday makers are off the road.

Where did you go for your cream tea then??

Why would you want to do that speed on a pubic road?When you can go on track? I don't get it?????????????

spelling optional

Better to have a bad day on the bike,than a good day at work.........

Wheres the nearest track to Cornwall??

Not condoning his actions or the speed, though as said, there are times and roads with no traffic on where you can rack up that kind of speed.

I agree that the kind of speed he was done for does belong on the track.

Because I can do it.

Safely. Many, many, many times. Sometimes on one wheel. Occasionally plowing through a field of fucking kittens.

The law on speeding is sadly wrong.

i do remember a jap guy tried to hit 200mph on m25. he was deported lol.
