A BIKER who bragged about reaching speeds of '175mph' before a horrific crash which left a teenager unable to use her arms has been jailed.

Adam Wilde, aged 29, of Carnation Road, Swaythling, was sentenced to three and a half years behind bars after pleading guilty to two counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.

He was also banned from driving for five years with a requirement to take an extended retest.

The trial at Bournemouth Crown Court heard that at 11.15am on May 7, last year, Wilde – who was carrying a 16-year-old girl from Southampton as a pillion passenger – was among a group of seven motorbikes and nine people who had gathered at in Southampton for a ride-out to Weymouth.

Daniel Lincoln, 21, of Caerperis View in Fareham was also carrying a pillion passenger and wore a chest-mounted camera that captured the ride-out and the aftermath of the collision.

Wilde, Lincoln and Nima Biniaz – a 19-year-old man from Hulls Road, Southampton – were seen overtaking vehicles while ignoring solid white lines.

During a brief stop at a petrol station Wilde could be heard saying he had reached speeds of 140-150mph. The 16-year-old girl was heard to say: “Don’t encourage him. I'll die.”

As the bikers moved onto the A35 Puddletown bypass, witnesses said they saw Biniaz pull more wheelies and overtake vehicles at speed. Adam Wilde was heard on camera saying “175 in fifth gear and still more to go”.

Wilde’s bike was seen travelling in excess of 100mph before he collided with the rear of one of the smaller motorbikes which in turn collided with a third bike.

The teenage girl sustained catastrophic life-changing injuries, including two bleeds on the brain, severe damage to both of her arms, which she is still unable to use, and a large open wound on her abdomen which required major skin graft surgery.

Adam Wilde suffered a broken shoulder blade, injuries to his hand and foot and severe grazing.

Other members of the group were also sentenced yesterday after pleading guilty to offences last year.

Daniel Lincoln was handed a 12-month prison sentence suspended for 18 months, and ordered to carry out 150 hours of unpaid work for dangerous driving and committing an act likely to pervert the course of justice. He has been banned from driving for 18 months with a requirement to take an extended retest and given a curfew order for six months.

Nima Biniaz was handed an eight-month prison sentence suspended for 15 months, and ordered to carry out 150 hours of unpaid work for dangerous driving and driving otherwise in accordance with licence. He has been banned from driving for two years with a requirement to take an extended retest and given a curfew order for four months.

Ellis Caplen was banned for driving for 12 months from October 10, 2016 after pleading guilty at Weymouth Magistrates’ Court to driving otherwise in accordance with licence, no insurance and riding with fraudulent VRM plate. He was also ordered to pay a £120 fine, £40 court costs and a £30 victim surcharge.

Christopher Wilde, 28, of Millbrook Road, Southampton, was charged with driving document offences and was given six penalty points on his driving licence and ordered to pay a £100 fine, £50 court costs and £30 victim surcharge.
