It is claimed that no one knows who this guy is, I say the chap who put the ruddy great Ghostrider tattoo on his back might have an idea.
The guy can ride.

I just hope he gets killed very soon and doesn't take anyone else with him.
not long to live, someone like that.
he should try the iom tt then see how good he really is 😉
Been at it since at least 2005. 😀

what an idiot no real respect !!!!
Yikes. A cyclist without an engine hoping a cyclist with an engine gets killed soon. Some people here have serious issues. How about hoping he sees the error of his ways and keeps it to the track? I'm going to hope for that instead.

Oooh, me , I do!

So no one has broken the speed limit then? 🙄
so he can do wheelies at 130mph and ride like a **** at nearly 180mph through road traffic....whoopy do!
good job he aint trying that he in the uk...some dozy twonk would soon have him off with a non indicated lane change im sure
ah apologies don simon 😳
not long on this earth. shame for his friends and family
I just hope he gets killed very soon
🙄
He's been around for ages, Scandanavian guy (Swedish I think).
Quite fun to watch but very stupid.
Oooh, me , I do!
Spoilsport, I first saw him about 5-6 years ago and funnily enough was wondering what had happened to him a couple of weeks ago. Mad, mad riding. 😈
Have you told your kids Santa isn't real too?
[i]just hope he gets killed very soon[/i]
What a ****ing horrible thing to say. ****.
Gary_M - Memberjust hope he gets killed very soon
What a * horrible thing to say. *.
Don't worry, it's just Shibboleth. He really isn't important and he doesn't frequent reality very often and it really isn't worth any further comment.
I work with some professional 'donors' as I call them and they are very skillful on roads that are not just straight lines too however there is only so long your luck will hold riding like an arse weaving through traffic at those speeds.
Just hope he doesn't hurt anybody else when he prangs, other than that leave him to it 🙄
Awesome if a little stupid - wish I had his skill
it only takes one of those cars to not see him and change lanes into him
and DONT say "he is anticipating it" because the whole reason accidents happen is because you cant anticipate everything.
Also, while i do fell most drivers are in their own little oblivious worlds, I feel sorry for the 50 or so drivers who just got pushed towards a nervous breakdown with a bike behaving like that between them and 60T of DHL.
what an idiot. there is no need to hope he gets killed Gary, he has that under control without your help
The guy can ride.
I completely disagree.
Ahem. Put the froth back on your pint, Olly!
I completely disagree.
Your view, and youre entitled to it even if it is wrong
luckily it's in the US and so is therefore obviously a movie and not real..
why does he always ride backwards in the dark?
wow, not for me. Its bad enough trying to avoid mums doing crazy things on the school run at 10mph, let alone this nonsense.
Not long on this mortal coil if he continues with sh1t like that. Only a matter of time I'm sorry to say.
Keep it to the track.....
The guy can ride.I completely disagree.
Maybe he can, maybe he can't but nothing in that clip suggests he's anything but a nutter.
I just hope he gets killed very soon and doesn't take anyone else with him.
I just hope he comes to his senses one day and hasn't taken anyone in the meantime.
That M3 'chase' is about the most antisocial thing I've seen on the road. I'm all for a bit of fun on bikes but bloody 'ell....
Any idiot can do 200mph on a road like that, it's not as if it's much more than open the throttle and hold on....
Wonder how many crashes he caused during the making of that video.
I've been 180+ on a public road. Nearly got killed, never did it again. I did do it in a country with bog all road rules and drivers with little road sense, so I am quite pleased I came out unscathed.
there's quite a few ghostrider videos on youtube.I though he'd retired a few years back.He's swedish I think.the one where he gets chased by a [url=
car is pretty good.but there are so many videos on youtube,some good french ones of riding the ring road around paris.
I sometimes watch them when I get an urge to buy a motorbike.
then go and wash my sweaty hands and think [url=
is quite fast enough.
ps.not to be confused with this.
warning,nicolas cage content.

this came to mind.
its pretty amazing how few near misses he actually has though,
in the uk he'd be off pretty soon imo, as most uk drivers display a truly shocking lack of awareness on the motorway.
as a bike lover, i have to say, it wouldnt be me, ive invested a lot of money passing 4 driving tests and i am intent on keeping my licence.
in the uk he'd be off pretty soon imo, as most uk drivers display a truly shocking lack of awareness on the motorway.
as apposed to the US where the valium addled overweight TV addicted pea brained god botherers are all reknowned for their jedi-like awareness in relation to 190mph motorcyclists in their rear view mirrors.. 🙄
needs more wheelies... and one of those shots you see on self shot MTB vids where the camera points up the empty trail and the rider appears in the distance then approaches and passes the camera really close.. and some bloopers
4/10
It's got nothing to do with the drivers on the road, it's just pure luck he doesn't get taken out. Pushing nearly 300 k's and you just wouldn't see him approaching especially with the lane chopping! I did think the lorry pass at 190 was particularly gnarly!! He's as said above been around for years. If you wanna see some utterly ridiculous driving rather than riding then you tube, m5 v rs4!! I'd put the link on but have no idea how to on Jesus phone!!
I phone gone crazy!!!
There's a vid of a crazy russian commute that will give your sphincter a real work out.
Just making progress, surely?
Very planned & controlled riding IMO; experienced motorcycle riders will understand what's going on there.

You sound like you know what you're talking about. What was it like at 200mph then?
😆
Just making progress, officer
pretty irresponisble. I dont care what risks he takes with his own life but to endanger other road users like that is highly irresponsible.
He should track race where others have willingly shared the risk. I would prefer to not be hit by someone doing 180 on a public road tbh.
to endanger other road users like that is highly irresponsible.
Yes it is. But he's giving his full attention to the task at hand, how many of the other road users can claim the same?
This is daft... Loon on m/c is a good egg because he's fully 'on it' an demonstrating skill whilst riding at 200mph in traffic. Is that it?
I'm no anti m/c. I'm guilty of maxing my bikes but I find it difficult to see how that sort of riding can be seen as anything but antisocial and suicidal.
200kgs of Hayabusa would make quite a dent at 200mph wouldn't it?
what a ****ing idiot.
The end.
200kgs of Hayabusa would make quite a dent at 200mph wouldn't it?
Yeah but I'm sure his insurance is up to date.
if he passed my mum she would be scared and upset. people like her aren't doing anything wrong, she isn't frail, she's a much more careful driver than I am, but the world can be a scary place, and we are far to quick to excuse violence and gratuitous exhibitions of power in our society, and far to slow to stand up for the meek. more than anti social, i would consider it endangerment of people's safety, and practically an assault. there is no reason why someone should be subjected to that.
Yes it is. But he's giving his full attention to the task at hand, how many of the other road users can claim the same?
Please tell me you are not being serious.
200kgs of Hayabusa would make quite a dent at 200mph wouldn't it?
[s]about 300Kg with me on[/s] was going to be my original suggestion but hitting a car at that speed would no doubt catapult the pilot to another county 😯
I was knocked off my motorbike in 2006 and I asked for a courtesy bike. They called me up and asked the CC of my bike, 1200 so they said the only 1200 ish bike they had was a hayabusa, fair enough I said!
I had just about got two years under my belt and even if I wanted to buy one the insurance industry wouldn't quote me due the two years NCD ruling on hyper bikes, but here was the insurance company giving me a 200mph machine FOC as a replacement bike.
Well after about an hour and half of perfecting launching I'd stopped riding all the twisty roads on my torquey V Twin Buell that loved bends and was riding the M'ways and perfecting getting this fast as **** bike up to 100mph in about 5 seconds flat. They go like stink and are very stable to say the least.
Fast forward six weeks and i still had the 'busa on loan and I'd nipped up to North East for day, on the way back to Wigan i'd noticed the clouds over the lakes looked angry so I stopped at Scotch Corner and put my waterproofs over my leathers. As I got to Tebay on the M6 I had a moment of naughtiness and though "this is going back tomorrow let's see what it can do :lol:"
Even though I'd been riding only two years I'd ridden daily, done over 40 track days in 12 months and clocked up 50k on four bikes so i was quite a handy advanced rider. My waterproofs were neither advance, handy or intelligently designed.
As I got up to 175 the [b]hood[/b] on my smock type jacket unravelled itself and started to act like a wind sock and as such nearly pulled me off the back of the bike. I'd gone from 175mph down to about 100 over all three lanes and was close to taking my legs off on armco barrier on hard shoulder, as the hood inflated it shook my head violently which gave me very blurry vision and I straight-lined a bend at about 150mph.
Shit me right up i tell ya!
