The Offences and Sentencing
Amin Belechguer, a 29-year-old rider from Clapham South, received a four-year custodial term at Maidstone Crown Court after pleading guilty to dangerous-driving offences across Kent, London and Essex. The court heard he repeatedly exceeded speed limits, performed hazardous manoeuvres and provoked police pursuits while filming the acts for Instagram.

- June 27 2025 – Spotted on the A20 near Maidstone on a Kawasaki Ninja H2R at more than 130 mph, cutting in front of responding officers and waving to provoke a chase.
Scope of Dangerous Driving

- Maximum speeds – Peaks included 185 mph on June 8 2025 and a reported 189 mph on another occasion.

- Online presence – Under the handle “MrWoods666,” Belechguer had about 22,000 Instagram followers, posting videos that showed him “blowing kisses” at pursuing officers.
Official Statements & Responses
- Police – Kent Police called the June 27 incident a “catalogue of dangerous driving offences” and said the pursuit ended after the rider crossed solid white lines into oncoming traffic and rode over a stinger, deflating his tyres.
- Defense – James Harrison, acting for the defendant, argued there was no proof the rider’s posts directly encouraged others to drive dangerously and contended that the removed silencer did not increase risk.
Conflicting Reports & Gaps

- Exact speed of the highest run – Some sources mention 189 mph; court footage shows 185 mph on June 8 2025.
