An interesting day at Westcountry Inn. BBC Morning Live production for motorcycle safety. Unfortunately, a bike was impounded as it was found to be completely unroadworthy. No working brake lights, Mud guard resting on tyre...the rider had no insurance, an expired CBT certificate, no safety gear, provisional license, no L Plates. A very rusty 1 year old chinese bike.Not only was he a danger to himself, but he presented a danger to other road users.
A beautiful Ducati which took the police having to chase over 100mph to catch up with...received just a friendly chat advisory. Rider had all the correct gear and the bike was an immaculate machine. An Aprillia rider received the same.
A few riders had stayed overnight and were delighted to have a chat with Zoe. Very lovely people including the police present.
Show airs in two weeks.

The one you shared a link to, Merv, as far as I'm aware has no link to SWB. This is the official SWB page - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064506798002

No, we control who and what can be posted there so as not to detract from the forum - it's a forwarding or information point for forum activity, nothing more 😉👍
