Uninsured motorcyclist doing wheelies has bike seized in Helston

Police were far from impressed with a motorcyclists attempt to pull wheelies after a stop in Helston.

Devon and Cornwall Roads Policing Team pulled over the bike yesterday (13th) after noticing it was covered in mud and had defective lamps.

Advice was given, the rider was reported, and the bike was seized for no insurance.

The policing team posted on social media:
