This astonishing picture shows the 35-year-old biker doing a wheelie at 61mph in a 30mph zone.

The GATSO speed camera that took the picture was triggered when his powerful Suzuki machine whizzed along a quiet country road. When they processed the pictures, camera operators were amazed to see Jesty's audacious stunt.

Jetsy was doing 61mph in a 30mph zone

However, they were unable to issue a penalty or a court summons - because the scaffolder had removed his number plates.

Jesty was snapped on the A4074 in Nuneham Courtenay, Oxon, on June 5th last year. Two weeks after the stunt, police cars on patrol spotted a biker riding in the same area without any number plates.

They put on their flashing blue lights and pulled Jesty over - and watched in amazement as he cheekily tried to fasten plates to his bike.

Jesty, who lives in Tory boss David Cameron's Oxfordshire constituency of Witney, was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving on June 24 last year.

When police checked their records, they linked him to the earlier wheelie stunt on June 5 and ordered him to appear in court.

Last month Jesty admitted one charge of dangerous driving and two charges of perverting the course of justice by removing his number plates to avoid detection.

A police source said: "That spot is well known for speeding bikers and officers had been monitoring the patch for some time.

"We managed to catch him from intelligence. He probably thought by removing his number plates he would never be caught, but he was wrong."

One resident who lives along the A4074 said: "The road leads to Oxford and it is long and notorious for speeding. There are always lots of accidents there, many involving motorbikes.

"Bikers meet there regularly in the evenings and every Monday there can be in excess of 150 bikes parked up in restaurant car parks.

"The bikes create a lot of noise for residents - especially in the Nuneham Courtenay area where the houses are built close to the road's edge."

Jesty, of Burwell Drive, Witney, is due to be sentenced at Oxford Crown Court today.
