It really does my head in when the papers exaggerate information for dramtic purposes!!! [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Take: http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2003280295,00.html for example, it clearly states "Bolger rode a Kawasaki Ninja 750 SX7R - capable of 200mph" - Bollox!!! A ZX7R is capable of 160mph maximum, so why do they feel the need to blatently lie! It shouldn't be tolerated.

I must presume they meant a ZX7R, and not an SX7R as there's no such thing as an SX7R.

Not like the Sun, they normally take any figure and double it..

And if someone's bisexual, homosexual, blonde they always tell you, even if it's nothing to do with the story.

I saw an article in the Mail the other day about Prince William, who is contemplating buying a sports bike. The headline was something like "Wills 160mph Triumph Worry", and the story went on to describe the bike as a "160mph machine" and talk about how the dangerous bike could do 0-60 in less than four seconds.

Whereas, without all the oooooohs and aaaaahs, and daft exaggeration, the story is basically "Rich bloke wants to buy a motorbike". Okay, so it can go fast, but it doesn't only do 160mh...

I can't beleive they handed themselves in, I'd just refuse to identify the rider and take the 4 points and big fine and not worry about a custodial sentence.
