How did they catch him if it was a forward facing camera? Or did I just not read that bit in the article (very likely!)

Just because you haven't a front plate doesn't mean they can't catch you. If you habitually offend at the same place they can check the bike model/colour/etc, narrow it down then employ special recognition techniques to discover who was riding.

Ok.
I'll wheelie past different speed cameras in future, just in case.

At Southampton Magistrates' Court, Skilton was disqualified from driving for 18 months, fined £600 and had 39 points placed on his licence.
He was also ordered to pay £70 costs.
Skilton, of Ellis Road, pleaded guilty to six speeding offences after being identified by recognition experts.
He received six points for each speeding offence and an extra three points for driving without control.
It is expected that the points will be wiped from his licence once he has served his ban.
Then whats the point of putting 39 points on his licence if they will be wiped out when he gets it back?
