I think you maybe taking this bit of banter a bit too seriously!
I've already mentioned the cameras and the fact that you would have to be a very skilled driver / rider to maintain such high speeds for so long on public roads. Realistically I'm not sure it would even be possible even if you used false plates, or had a pregnant bird on board cos once you've pinged a few cameras in a row at 100mph+ then I'm sure it wouldn't be long before a helicopter was overhead and you were intercepted by the rozzers before you completed the lap.
The guy that did the lands end to john o'groats planned every detail over something like 6 months or more and even fitted a larger fuel tank to limit fuel stops. Even with all that planning I think he was extremely lucky to pull it off. Trying to do it on the M25, although it's a much shorter distance, I think would be near impossible purely because of the location and the technology on that stretch of road.
However, I'm sure there are some people out there who would be stupid enough to try.
Again, having said all that - easter sunday on lockdown is surely the best opportunity to give it a try
