Drunk biker loses pillion in Police chase

Uninsured speeding biker escapes jail after his SISTER falls from motorcycle

Tweet
Posted: 30 June 2009
by Visordown News

A DRUNK BIKER whose pillion sister fell off the back of his uninsured motorcycle during a police chase has escaped jail.

Aberdeen Sheriff Court heard yesterday that Ryan Grant, 19, was twice the drink-drive limit when his sister fell off the back of his speeding motorcycle. Grant did not realise she was missing until after he crashed during the Police chase.

Lynne Newland, defending for Grant, told the court:

“Mr Grant didn’t have any recollection of the event until he got a call from his sister, who was the one on the back of his bike.”

Grant, of Oldtown Place, Aberdeen, admitted driving a motorbike without due care and attention, at speed during darkness and without displaying headlights. He also admitted driving with excess alcohol and without displaying L plates or having insurance.

Grant was fined him £550, disqualified from driving for two years and ordered him to take part in a supervised attendance order for 100 hours.

Can you really call this idiot a biker? Surely utter £$%&3$% would make more sense. Fair enough he maybe young and stupid but it's riders like this that cause problems for the rest of us. Don't give them the pleasure of being called a biker until they can prove they can actually ride with some form of legality and skill. Neither of which this guy has, let alone any sense.

Not so long ago a cleaner was jailed for riding at excessive speed with his son on the back. His bike was taxed, insured, and both where wearing helmets. Then this knob, nearly kills his sister, was drunk, broke speed limits, failed to stop and dangerous driving!!! He was fined £550 and 100 hours superised attendance order. Now thats justice!!!!

How 'nearly killed' was she?

“Mr Grant didn't have any recollection of the event until he got a call from his sister, who was the one on the back of his bike.”

So 'nearly killed' she could make a phone call?

Okay maybe nearly killed was a bit OTT but falling off the back of a bike ain't healthy!! it was only a small fib not like yours!! How can a biker ride a chav chariot!!! ;^)

You guys have difficulty deciding whether you want tough penalties or light penalties for bike offences.

 That Supervised Attendance thing is an alternative to jail.

Yes, it looks like he got off lightly- some people do. It's always a bit of a gamble, involving personalities and opinions in the legal process.

The bloke with his son on the back will of been used as a lesson to us all!! Just seems that the scumbags get easier sentences. Where as the working man gets it both barrels. Its a similar story on Road Wars on Sky 1.

Has it ever crossed your tiny mind that the VAST MAJORITY of cases are entirely unreported as they are completely uninteresting.

Lots of scumbags get harsh sentences and lots of decent "people like us" get off lightly, but selective reporting can make it look biased whichever way you like.

1st comment by FJS - It wasn't a pathetic hyperbole. Poster was obviously writing passionately and got carried away with his wording. Poster then had the balls to admit he was wrong on this one point. Something you don't have.

2nd comment by FJS - If the poster is implying that you ride a chav chariot, ergo you are a chav; then i would say that your response pretty much solidifies his point.

FJS, whats your problem?  Have you got a serious chip on your shoulder?

Cant you just reply with your opinion rather than picking quotes out of someone elses and then spouting a load of piffle back at them?

My take on the event is, yes he got off light, but these kind of things happen every day in crime or inconsiderate behaviour, which ever the judge decides to call it on a particular day.

Justice in this country has been messed up for a long time now.

It was pathetic hyperbole as clearly no-one was 'nearly killed'.

On a technical, pedantic FJS level it may be. Anyone with a brain or common sense here though doesn't really think that ginner was deliberately trying to mislead them. Look back through the posts and see where the insults started. I think it maybe you who is the "shit-stirring fuckwit":

Ginner -"Nibble Nibble. Another one for the keep net. Take a chill pill"

"Fuck off and die you pathetic wanker."

Hmmm.

No response to the 2nd half of my post? Funny that.

I'm not shit stirring at all. I just think you're pathetic. How old are you? At first i thought about 40-60 years old but now i'm think maybe really young? A pretty intelligent 16-22 year old. The reason being; if i was a 40-60 year old man who found the need to constantly bash others to make myself look big, i would find myself so deeply ashamed that i was such a predictable, insecure person. Because you think you know everything, you've reached the plateau of all seeing and all knowing. Thing is, it's a fucking plateau. You're now stuck going neither up or down and i feel sorry for you.

if i fell off the back of a bike, i wouldnt be down the pub later saying "oh it was just a scratch" i think i would rightly be allowed to say"holy F##k, you'll never guess how i was nearly killed today falling off the back of a bike.

I did not suggest he was trying to mislead anyone.  I just pointed out that no-one at all was 'nearly killed'.   You are either killed or injured or not. 

'Nearly killed' is not anything, other than pathetic hyperbole, at all.

Why should there be?  I don't really have an opinion about your take on it.

Don't bother.  You clearly know nothing.

No-one I know who has fallen off the back off a bike has ever said that they were 'nearly killed'. 

Most of the time it has been hysterically funny to watch.

i would have assumed that if you fell off the back of a bike you stand a good chance of being squashed by whatever is travelling behind.

must add that the only experience i have of people falling off a bike is this clip.

You have to imagine when most people will fall off the back.  The only ones I've seen are from a lack of clutch control and/or over exuberance with a unprepared passenger. I'd imagine the majority would come off when the bike is accelerating from a (near) rest. 

Rather fewer from going over a bump - as if it is enough to unseat a passenger the rider is going to be all over the shop too.

If you are stupid enough to get on the back of a bike that is likely to be going to be practicing wheelies then you volunteered.

I meant that he can string a sentence together and has a decent enough grasp of the english language. FJS proves his stupidity with every post by failing to understand the point of the poster. Instead, he treats each post like a GCSE poem that you have to dismantle and analyse.

It's an embarrassing display of 'look at me! Look at me!'.

FJS, you are a stagnant, boring, predictable hypocrite incapable of seeing past your own demented nose.

I'm the shit stirrer?? That's hilarious

Lovely warm day today!

Just back from Germany.... you've just gotta love those [2 lane] Autobahns.... brilliant... & the lane discipline... superb, even in rush hour! And d'you know what .... not a high-viz jacket anywhere, except... erm... on one bimmer touring British plonker. lol.

While you are a shit stirring, know-nothing dimwit who has nothing to say about bikes and way too much ignorant opinion about other posters.

If someone posts something about the subject that, in my opinion, is incorrect - I may post a reply.  I do not criticise others opinions (like yours in this instance) on the topic. 

But I'm happy to respond when the thick-as-pigshit know-nothing fucks turn to abusing me instead of commenting on the thread.  Which is exactly what Ginner and you did.

So, i've not said anything about bikes? I believe over the posts i've said plenty about bikes. This makes you wrong. Fact.

Ignorant? What i've said about you is based on your behaviour on this forum. Therefore i am not ignorant. Wrong again.

FJS - "I do not criticise others opinions (like yours in this instance) on the topic."

You must be kidding?? You always criticise others' opinions. You are wrong again.

Thick as pigshit? You are the one incapable of grasping the point of a post without dismantling it for your own pendantic.

You started the abuse here and by your own argument, everyone is allowed their point of view. My point of view (along with the majority here) is that you are a egomaniac moron, hellbent on making up for something, trying to prove your non-existent 'intelligence' by pedantically dismantling the words of others rather than entering into discussion.

I tell you both what. Find me evidence that conclusively proves that high viz vests don't work in any situation and i will publicly apologise to you on this forum. I will even start a new thread with the title "i am sorry to FJS - he is god".

You're obsessed with evidence. Show me.

and another thing about Germany...

...they implemented the total smoking ban and found to their dismay 1000s of pubs were closing [sound familiar?]... so landlords just ignored it and the government caved in and revoked the ban.

Sensible or what?
