"performing wheelies and flooring a Honda Fireblade motorbike to its maximum speed of 170 mph..."

We urge this to be a lesson to other drivers who foolishly believe that stunts like these are good entertainment.

I beleive we will be the judge of that.

Anyone who positions a video camera such that it can see the speedo deserves all that is coming to them.

However - we all know how easy it is to re-gear a bike such that the speedo over-reads, or can create the same effect with a speedo healer. Likewise Video speed can be altered/edited to create an illusion as to the real speed being travelled, so I can't see how the video would stand up in court

It is thought that this is one of the highest speeds ever recorded by Lothian and Borders Police.

They'll take credit for anything...barstewards...

I'm glad all that manpower is being put to good use...

Also, unless the rider admits anything (unlikely) it's virtually impossible to prove who was riding the bike, you can't see the rider. All that can be seen from a video is a bike being ridden at X speed along Y road.

Saying that about not being able to identifiy a rider. They managed to prosercute a rider a couple years back who rode around with no number plate, gettin Gatzode on numerous occasions and identified him from the photos by his riding gear,helmet, bike and caught him whilst riding with same gear,helmet and bike.

Was enough apparently.

Maybe he shouldn't have been going that quick.

Maybe he shouldn't have been stupid enough to post it on youtube.

But WTF are the police doing using there computer bods to look into that when there are pedo's and terrorists out there using the net.

At least they're looking into the car driver as well but he'll probably get off

I saw on the local news that a guy in Burnham got away with it because there was no date or time on the video

or go to europe and record it. unless the country where it is recorded want to track you down its irrelevant.
