    Article-

    Ryan Ward, 23, was caught on a police helicopter camera riding the bike along busy streets with his young son - both without helmets.
    He was also seen riding onto pavements and performing wheelies during the 16-minute journey.
    PC Andy Moore, of Greater Manchester Police, said: "Ward was riding without regard for himself but more importantly the public and his young son.
    "He showed a blatant disregard for the rules of the road and has rightly been sentenced for his foolish and reckless actions."
    Ward was arrested as he pushed his bike along the road after dropping off his son.
    Neighbourhood Inspector Ruth Bradley-Holt said: "Off-road motorbikes are a real nuisance to the police and local residents.
    "Ward broke the law by riding an off-road bike in a public place but, to compound matters, the manner of his driving was appalling and he put the local community and even his own child at risk.
    "We work very hard to address the concerns of local residents and that includes clamping down hard on those who misuse off road bikes and just last week we seized three vehicles that were being used illegally."
    Ward, of Blackley, Manchester, has admitted charges of dangerous driving and child cruelty following the incident on June 5 last year.
    He will be sentenced on November 22.

    Be careful about what you say about a ward.

    I guess from what you are saying, you know of this family, guess they must be the sort of family that terrorise their community with violent and anti social behaviour, but people daren't complain through fear of what they may do in return. Sort of explains the video, no repect for the law or for other people.

    I'm not sure what the point of this thread is - particularly the title?

    The police released this video - they've caught him and hes about to be sentenced accordingly?

    Stupid people do stupid things.

    With any luck Darwinism will kick in soon.

    Don't worry op, we had a similar idiot in the village, although he rode on his own treating the roads like his personal race track, he tried picking a fight with a range rover one night on his bike with the inevitable result.

    Ah, Darwinism kicked in then.
  • he tried picking a fight with a range rover one night on his bike with the inevitable result

    The result possibly being the range rover stalling as the owner had never driven over anything higher than a kerbstone when parking outside their kiddies school.

    The death sentence has been taken away from Judges but for cases like this castration should be mandatory to stop the retards breeding !
