unlicensed and uninsured motorcycle underage.

John Pacheco, 17, of Tee Street, Devonshire, admitted the offences in Magistrates' Court yesterday. The offence occurred on September 16.

Prosecutor Sgt. Anthony Mouchette said a Police patrol spotted Pacheco near Knapton Hill "popping a wheelie''.

He was pursued and stopped. Pacheco told the officers that he knew that the motorcycle he was riding had an oversized engine.

Senior Magistrate Will Francis fined Pacheco $150 for riding the cycle when he was disqualified by reason of age, $150 for not having any insurance and $100 for riding an unlicensed vehicle.
