OFFICERS have seized an uninsured off-road motorbike from Bury Road after a chase.

Greater Manchester Police's Traffic division spotted the bike on the roads yesterday afternoon, before the rider led patrols on a chase.

His bike proved to be no match for the officers, but that didn't stop him from trying to get away.

The rider was eventually reported for allegedly driving without a license or insurance, and the bike was seized.

A spokesman for the team said: "Rider tried to make off but he didn't get very far.

"Checks established no licence or insurance.

"Vehicle seized and rider reported."
