7 bikers caught speeding

Seven bikers caught by police doing speeds of between 90mph and 130mph on a single day have been dealt with at court.

Andrew Thornburn (25) was caught riding his Ducati bike at 130mph on the A631 at Glentham on July 30.

Thornburn, of Newark Road, Lincoln, a fitter at Siemens, admitted speeding at Lincoln Magistrates' Court.

"I'm really sorry for what I have done," he said.

Thornburn was disqualified for 56 days, fined £340 with £43 costs and must pay a £15 victim surcharge.

On the same evening Scott Dodsworth (38), from Sheffield, was caught doing 128mph on his Yamaha bike on the A631 at Bishopbridge and the case, proved in his absence, was adjourned until next month to get him to court.

Glenn Hearn (50), of Brocklesby Close, Gainsborough, admitted doing 112mph on the same stretch of road about an hour after Dodsworth was caught.

He was fined £180, banned for 21 days and ordered to pay £43 costs and a £15 surcharge.

Hearn told the court his "eyes were on the road ahead" rather than the speedo.

Richard Andrews (42), from Caistor, was caught doing 94mph on his Honda CBF1000 after overtaking an unmarked police Subaru on the B1225 Caistor High Street.

He claimed he pulled away because he "did not want a race".

He was fined £300, with £43 costs and a £15 surcharge and given six points.

Mark Cottam (42), from Sheffield, reached 103mph on the A631 at West Rasen as he tried to catch up with fellow bikers ahead and admitted speeding.

He was fined £370 and given six points with £43 costs and a £15 surcharge.

Mark Mumby (26), from Grimsby, was caught doing 90mph on his bike at West Rasen and was fined £360 with five points, £43 costs and a £15 surcharge after admitting speeding.

While Lee Miller (27), also from Grimsby, who pleaded guilty by post to doing 91mph at Market Rasen, has had his case adjourned until next month.

All seven were caught speeding on July 30.
