This seems an excellent precedent. If it discourages irresponsible riding, good. If it results in irresponsible riders being punished, good. If it results in their being banned, better still. What part of the 60mph limit don't they understand? I don't get the pack mentality, and, other than for track days, I don't see the point of sports bikes. On the three occasions I've run foul of the law on two wheels since I first rode in 1964 (two in 1966), I've paid up without complaint. I know when I'm in the wrong. If you don't want to be fined/collect points/be banned you know the answer, it's not rocket science.
Oh, and it was "Number Six"
Off to the bike show at the NEC now, on my bike.
