A biker from the West Midlands is due to appear in court this morning (Thursday) following his arrest.

Police managed to establish that the owner of a blue Yamaha motorcycle was a disqualified driver who had come over to the island to watch the TT festival. The male’s bike was subsequently seized.

A police spokesman said: ’His fun didn’t last long before we met and despite a few lies it was established that he was disqualified, which resulted in his arrest.’
