Naughty boy hairing through village on a X Bike, tell BiB???

[Timmy40]

Normally I've very much live and let live, but a young lad was tearing up and down the main road in a village near our farm on the weekend. It was Sunday afternoon actually, and a lot of young kids/ peds use the road ( no choice ) which has no pavements, it also narrows to a pinch point.

Anyway this lad was accelerating through at 40-50mph ( in a 30 ) and being a right bellend about it, there were no plates on the bike, a X-road scrambler but when he'd finished I happened to pass him 1/2 a mile down the road loading his toy into his van, I happened to note down the number plate.

Still mulling over whether it's worth telling the local BiB? Not after anything heavy, just perhaps a firm phone call to tell him to calm it down a bit ( and that he was neither taxed, MOT'd or presumably insured to ride it on the road ). I had my young daughters with me otherwise I'd have stopped for a chat with him myself.

Indeed. He's being a dick but piano wire could result in a serious injury or worse.

I genuinely only ever ride legal byways, and pretty responsibly at that, but we still get a lot of hatred from a lot of other users of the trails and the possibility of this happening is never far from my mind, does really put me off at times.

To be fair he shouldn't be on a motorbike off-road where you are not allowed. Yes it is wrong but if he wasn't pissing about breaking the law it wouldn't of happened.

It's never acceptable, regardless of law/wrong/right.

Yep. Have used a reg checking site and the reg number I took comes up with a vehicle that exactly matches the one I saw him loading the bike into.

It's quite wild where I live so I'd not say much if it was out in the stix, but taking it into the village is bloody stupid, there's miles and miles of forests he could ramp about in. Just no need for it.

It's 'would have' not 'would of'. Carry on.

Well he was "allegedly speeding" with no number plates, so no valid insurance, in a small village with a narrow street. Would you fancy scraping your kid up off the road after he'd hit them, then finding out the tt had no insurance?

Sadly, you're wasting your time pointing this out to the illiterates on here, who would happily criticise all and sundry for almost anything but can't be bothered to actually understand what they're writing.

Well they did understand what was being said and they corrected the grammar.

Talking as a biker, this sort of tt gives us a bad a name.

Is this a regular thing or just a one off? If it's the first and only time it's happened I'd be inclined to leave it and see, he might well have just bought it and too it for a quick spin, yes a bit too much speed and the lack of plate fitted isnt good but if it was a one off then I'd not bother (personally).

If it's a regular thing then have a word or cop shop.
