NORTH Yorkshire Police say they have been busy during the heatwave keeping up with the increase in motorbike activity in the Dales.

Traffic Cop Andrew Ingram tweeted he had had a busy day on Monday while carrying out a speed operation.

The previous week 50 speeders were clocked in one-and-a-half hours in North Craven.

TC Ingham tweeted: “Catching drivers at 85 and 90mph with one biker doing wheelie! Have to say though to say how many bikers out majority behaved superb. Ended with a collision at #Selside. Serious injury but rider will be okay.”
