A motorcyclist whose bike’s mudguard was held on with bootlaces has been jailed for 10 months after reaching speeds of up to 150mph in Devon.
Michael Robillard’s Suzuki 600 also had a loose seat as he sped along the A380 Exeter to Newton Abbot road.
Road workers waved to try to slow him, but he was only stopped after police gave chase on 8 September 2008.
Robillard, 23, of Lymington Road, Torquay, admitted dangerous driving at Exeter Crown Court.
He also admitted not having a licence or insurance, and failing to stop for police.
He was banned from driving for two years.
