WTF .... Jailed for 15 months and banned for 3 years for breaking a regulation.
Video wouldn't play properly on my pc but from what I could tell, nobody was hurt and no property was damaged .... just going a bit quick and a few other regulations I guess. I'm not saying this should go unpunished but things are out of all proportion.

Compared with the penalties dished out to those that actually steal vehicles - often trashing them (if anyone can be bothered to catch them) or knock people off their bikes ..... the world's gone bonkers.

Christopher O'Donovan reached some of the highest speeds ever recorded on a British A-road on his Kawasaki bike.

A Kawasaki? Hehe....

I was going to put up one of those old Kawasaki Ads that used to extoll the virtues of the Kawasaki's speed, etc, but the search produced this...

Which I thought was suitable..

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

You could murder a pensioner and get less punishment.

Fecking stupid.

The law in this country is 100% horse shit.
