Damage done to biking by excessive speeders

Anyone heard this? A speeding biker from Whitstable has been disqualified from riding and driving a vehicle for two years after riding at 146mph – the highest speed recorded by a mobile safety camera in Kent & Medway.

Is it any wonder some of us feel persecuted by the Government & Police when there are riders out there who do this? The damage done to biking by riders who do this is immesurable. As a community we need to disown those who do us harm in this way.

If you want to ride like that do a track day, go to Germany & ride the autobahn. We cannot hope to be treated fairly until we show that we are not the stereotypical speed freaks that the media and police paint us to be. A drink driver caught twice over the alcohol limit doesn’t make the news, a biker caught at twice the speed limit does. We have to get our own house in order before the Govt & the EU do it for us.
