Definitely excessive.

I guess this guy wasn't looking in the mirror too often!

Geez if one of those cars had slammed on their brakes when he was following close behind at 130+ he'd be dead instead of just banned

[Republic]

I hope he's not an airline pilot

Meh true top speed was nearer 120, the cops were always going to have to exceed his top speed to catch up with him.

What a d*ck.
Lucky he didn't get jail time for that.
I don't have a problem with the speed but his riding was all over the place, in heavy traffic and 2 up!

[Swanny]

Lucky for him he didn't open it up

15 month ban at 150mph doesn't seem very fitting? Would expect a lot more, if not jail time.

I'm obviously well out of touch but really, jail for speeding? I could nick your bike, ride it with no insurance and still get off with a small fine and points or short ban and would need to commit several similar offences (maybe dozens) before jail was a real liklehood

I think a lot of people would disagree on the basis that he was endangering the lives of all the other road users he encountered. It was not a simple case of speeding with a clear road ahead. He was switching lanes, weaving in and out of traffic at speeds in excess of 100 mph. As already stated by Dan he is one very lucky chappy.

My god you lot don't get any younger do ya!? Meh, looks just like my summer commute, bar a pillion

Let those who have never exceeded 100mph on her majesties roads reply, everyone else zip it
