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.

How do you know it was his, maybe he was loading it onto the van after nicking it ? Report it i say

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.

god lord, someone was (allegedly) speeding on a motorbike
report him
then open a mums net account to tell all about it

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?

It doesn't, but having known and been part of a group of lads who rode bikes offroad (and occasionally on road!) in my youth, none of us had licenses, tax, MOTs, insurance etc and yes I did get caught by the Police and received a rightly deserved caution.

Loads of lads around us do it, they tear all of the woodland tracks ( our land backs onto 3,000 acres of woodland ) I've no problem at all with it, boys will be boys, he just needs a bking IMO for bringing it into the village is all.
