Who is the 65mph wheelie daredevil?

AN OFF-road motorcyclist pulls a wheelie at more than double the speed limit—past a mobile camera.

Officers who snapped the lad at 65mph on Houghton Road in Thurnscoe, have appealed for information to trace him.

Sgt Graham Sayner, head of South Yorkshire Police’s motorcycle wing, said: “In 2011 there have been two fatal collisions involving off-road motorcycles being ridden on the road.

“Through a combination of enforcement and education we are striving to reverse this trend and is keen to speak with the rider about his conduct.

“We will use the law to its fullest extent to prosecute riders and seize vehicles where appropriate.”
