Thie wee encounter almost doubled my bike insurance !!!!

Told a few porkies to the judge in the hope of getting off a bit lighter and did the trick as was told to expect a ban of anything up to 18 months and resit test and also a monster fine !!!!
I did eventually sell the bike through ebay but didnt make a loss, actually made £500 on it
Just before i got that was the first time in about 16 or 17 years my licence had been completely clean !!!!
Been banned 3 times in total for various offences, totting up points for speeding the first time, getting chased and failing to stop, driving at a constant speed in excess of 120mph over a distance of 2.6 miles ( this was how they worded the charge !!! ) when i did stop i did a runner but got caught in the middle of a field ( had a few pints and was fairly sure would be well over the limit, failed the bag test but blood count came back under the limit !! wish i had known that at the time as would have slowed down and stopped straight away and prob only got a bollocking for speeding !! My insurance was 2 quid away from being exactly double what i was paying after that carry on !!
Sold all my bikes now and drive like an old man and hardly ever speed !! Am more into comfort and mpg's now rather than mph !!! Sure sign of getting old
