A lot of the north-west BM folk will know the roads mentioned. Single-carriageway and often a bit twisty - even thinking about 120mph on those roads makes me a bit weak at the knees!
Tried looking for the video on YouTube, but no luck.
Unfortunately these clowns are all too common
I suspect that the video may have been removed on the advice of his solicitor
Posting these antics on "youtube" only serves to encourage others to emulate them
Which also serves to re-enforce the public's "stereotypical" image
Of bikers, who have scant regard for their own safety
At the expense of other "law abiding" motorists
Even the persecution said that at no time did he ride in a manner dangerous to other road users and that he slowed down for every bend. Not that it excuses his speed but I think it does show that he wasn't a complete numpty .

Unfortunatly i haven't seen the video so can't see the speeds he was doing round the bends but would be surprised if he was going round them at anywhere close to legal speeds.
IMO if you have only just passed your test and you thick enough to film yourself doing stupid stuff like this. Then you deserve what coming to you. there's too many inexperienced riders out there on large powerfull bikes going out on a weekend and not going home again.
As my mom says "if you play with feathers you'll get your arse tickled"
And yes he is absolutly a numpty.

To be fair, compared to some its quite tame. he was coming from bala only a small amount was on the A5 looks like he was heading from corwen up to ponderosa.
Still think he's a numpty tho considering it was in north wales.
Yes, that's the road mentioned in the BBC rport. From seeing the video now, well, I've seen worse and he seems to have had at least some sense of self-preservation. Still makes my blood run cold, and how he'd have handled Dai the Tractor emerging from a concealed entrance I just don't know. Still a numpty!
I think it a well selected part to just show the slower part of the ride to gain surport for him. But as said if you post it on you tube you are asking for trouble. the chicken run was posted on you tube and the 1st few seconds showed 6 bike and a van going though a red light when i posted saying thats why I stay away becuse of the way thay ride and post it on you tube asking for trouble I got slaged off for not surporting them and giving negative coments.
Riding shown on video doesn't seem too bad really. Still,if he hadn't stuck it on Youtube he would probably still have his license,so he brought it on himself methinks.North Wales probably not the best place to do this,knowing what the local police are like....
