Swindon outrage !

I see from my Google clickbait today that a Swindon glazing salesman has been successfully prosecuted for speeding at 117mph on his Ducati Monster motorcycle !
After collecting 6 points and a hefty fine the offender was full of remorse ,saying it was completely " out of character" !!!!! In Glasgow that statement would normally result in the retort...."aye, right" !

:chuckle

Found the story on Swindon Advertiser site.
Actually happened on the A303 and he is from just over the border in Dorset.
The A303 is notorious for speed traps (and accidents)!
Go careful if you're taking that route to the West Country post-lockdown.
Miles of frustrating single lane misery and then when it opens up to two lanes and you give it some welly......PING!!!
