yeah time and place too many people about

How can a bloke get that kind of sentence for pulling a wheelie, with complete arseholes getting away with much worse offences?!? The mind boggles!

In reply to Bikerboys, I live near Selby and a few years ago a friend got a ban and fined £400 for doing 104mph on a straight country road with just one entrance to the closed down mine site, where the police hide with the speed gun. this was the same punishment that a woman drunk driver got for knocking a motorcyclist of his bike an putting him in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Unbelievable but true.
