The biker caught speeding at more than twice the limit has spoken out about his two-year ban.

Father-of-five Lewis Matanle was revealed on Kentonline to have been clocked at 146mph on the A2 on the outskirts of Canterbury.

And while he accepts he broke the law and should be punished, he denied he was putting other people’s lives at risk.

The self-employed stonemason, of Marine Crescent, Whitstable, now fears his business may be at risk and said the sentence seemed harsh when compared to others.

“I knew there would be a penalty but they gave me a pretty horrific ban,” he said.

“I don’t normally ride like that but it was very clear with extremely clear visibility and very good weather conditions.

“It was a dual carriageway and I wouldn’t dream of riding like that in a built-up area.”

Mr Matanle, 38, was disqualified for two years by magistrates and ordered to pay a £400 fine and £50 court costs.
