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.

Where did he get the bootlaces TC (Top Cat?) Mine are always breaking. Office Dibble.                                                                                                                                                                             

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))

(wasn't Top Cat called Boss Cat over here and Top Cat in the US? (or the other way round) Dunno mate,too long ago to remember.   Can't have Harley laces,i got a Kwak. Thats why my mudguard isn't called a fender or the petrol tank a gas tank.                                                                                                                                                                             

RD he was from devon mate the bumpkins have special alien tech bootlaces they hold tractors together with them so a bike would be easy                                                                                                                                                                             

Who was from Devon,Top Cat?                                                                                                                                                                             

Omg... would have loved to have seen the cartoon if he was....                                                                                                                                                                             

RD dont start me on f****ng fenders and gas tanks my harley has a mudguard and a petrol tank and the next HOG member who tells me they have a custom bike because they have bolted on a load of squawking chicken chrome bits might have need of a authorised harley davidson proctologist to remove them. stomps off ranting                                                                                                                                                                             

*quietly unscrews aftermarket accessories*   Not that I call my bike a custom... I call it a LOT of things, but not a custom.....   >pondering what the hourly rate of an HD approved proctologist would actually be!!<                                                                                                                                                                             

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).
