About this video
Ricky Catchpole, 33, of Cotswold Close, Bedford, was riding his Yamaha R1 motorcycle on the A5 when he was recorded travelling at 127mph. His motorcycle was displaying no numberplate at the time. Not a good idea...<br /><br />When officers attempted to stop him, he made off at excessive speed and was pursued by police for a short distance before he fell off the bike when trying to take a tight corner at a lower speed. <br /><br />Catchpole was convicted at court following a trial and was hit with a month's driving ban and a whopping fine and costs of OVER Β£5,000. The penalties would have been far less severe if he had just stopped for the officers and accepted a ticket for speeding.
