A motorcyclist has been sentenced to 10 months in jail after admitting dangerous driving by riding his bike when it was held together with bootlaces. The court was told Michael Robillard, 23, of Lymington Road, Torquay, reached speeds of up to 150mph on a Suzuki 600 before he was arrested by police following a chase on September 8 last year. His bike, which had a loose seat, low engine oil, and a fender hanging off, was being held together with DIY repairs and bootlaces. As he sped down the A380 Exeter to Newton Abbot dual carriageway concerned road workers waved to slow Robillard down, but he only came to a stop after police intervention. At Exeter Crown Court he pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, not having a licence or insurance and failure to stop for police. He was jailed and banned from driving for two years.

I believe the Harley bootlaces work quite well, Ric.. but they are £120 a pair. I once used MY bootlaces as a hand-controlled accelerator cable on my 2CV - got me the 40 miles home!! (wasn't Top Cat called Boss Cat over here and Top Cat in the US? (or the other way round))

Agree with you there PD. Know that some off them can be a tad defensive of the American Marque. (Engine parts made in Taiwan,electrics made in Japan,put together in Milwaukee).
