DORSET Police pulled over the rider of a motorbike who was travelling at 110mph – while popping a wheelie.

Speaking about the incident, which took place on Monday, February 8, a Dorset Police No Excuse spokesman said: "It takes skill to wheelie a 1000cc motorcycle, I can appreciate that.

"However, doing it on a public highway overtaking other vehicles on a busy road at busy junctions is most certainly not the place, especially at the speed this rider was recorded at."

The motorcyclist has been reported to the courts.
