Shock horror! Biker does 100 mph! Who cares really? Apart from the BiB of course.

"Parrott was caught after he included his home address in Burnham-on-Sea in the films, allowing local police to find him."

His name says it all really, doesn't it?

Muppet would suit better.

As for who cares, 100mph on the motorway don't care, 100mph in a 30 zone past a school, do care.

The article doesn't make it clear where he was doing the ton unfortunately.

Yes, but it says he went rather fast through a housing estate and past a school. From a personal point of view, one of my relatives was injured when a tw@t going apparently incredibly stupid speeds on a motorbike fell off on the motorway and caused a pile-up as everyone swerved to avoid getting organ-donor in their tyre treads.....

So if it was an empty road and he was just risking his own life I wouldn't care. When it endangers other people I begin to give a monkeys doodah...

Oh well, on a lighter note, I just thought it was amusing he was so stupid to film himself doing something illegal and make it so the bill could identify him.....

No, it says the vid showed him going at 100mph and going through an estate/past a school. Knowing how the media reacts to these things, if ti was 100 past the school it would say so, along with something about "Will you just think of the children!" in a very obvious way.

Well I stand corrected- just watched the clip on the Daily (Fourth Reich) Mail website. What's the fuss about? Seemed very mild. Doing wheelies on a public road isn't the best idea when you're videoing youself but overall I've seen worse driving by the plod Like when they park outside the firestation on the boxed area to get their burgers at the burger place next door.... Ahem.... Official police duty my arse.... Unless its the supers' Swiss cheese with bacon burger of course....

doesn't this line remind anyone else of that copper that was "testing" speeding characteristics of his police car;
"The films, which have now been removed from YouTube, showed Parrott driving through a built-up area, past a housing estate and close to a school.",
and then totally let off...

Best thing he could do, if he's quick - stick a kph speedo on his bike.

"Yes, m'lud 100 - kph apprx 60mph"

What a twat!
