The pair were pursued by police and failed to stop when asked to do so by police. Both men have admitted various counts of dangerous driving and refusing to stop, they will be sentenced of March 31st. The pair have been disqualified from riding while they await sentence, luckily for the people of Arbroath! Read more: OAP biker caught doing 138mph - Motorcycle news: Bizarre - Visordown
In 1991 a gsxr1100 passed me on the M62, I was doing 100 mph he passed me like I was stopped !!!!! Caught up with him at a service station, he must have had breakfast and a good shit in the time it took me to just get to the petrol station, he was going that fast ! Anyway we passed each other across the forecourt as he was removing his helmet, I asked how fast he passed me, his answer 'flat out,I'm 80 yrs old been riding bikes since I was 12 and the fookers havnt caught me yet' . I was left gobsmacked but the man is my inspiration and hope to be riding a motorcycle for many more years to come................ Just a pity big brother is getting worse these days
I new this site was great i was expecting to read bloody nut give bikers bad name and all that pc shit. What bike was he on

That PC twaddle gets right up my nose too.... Hands up all those who've never done over 130...... ??? Speeding in a 30 zone and your asking for it tho.... and bikers already have a bad name.
