Ghost Rider

[mackbamf]

I have watched some of this guys videos in the past. Youtube him and there are a bunch, but this is one of my favorites. I wonder how his balls even fit underneath him on the bike. Call him what you will but this guy is no joke...

I didn't make it all the way through because the guy's a dipshit that gives all riders a bad name, he almost became a paint mark at 2:13... I stopped at 2:20.

OP is going to get a ton of flak about this from the board nannies but I am a huge fan of the entire GIS crew.

GR is a few different riders from the Swedish wheelie team, but I think the original guy died in a Isle of Man TT race? Got to love YouTube, I like the one were he is riding the snowmobile, and that turbo 'busa is ridiculous!

Fascinating to watch, but so is a train wreck.

It's only a matter of time. He fails to handle a crease in the road properly, doesn't see an obstruction until it's too late or another driver doesn't react the way he expects, then *SPLAT*!

Yeah this guy is definitely not a matter of IF but WHEN...

Maybe, maybe not. It depends on how many that ride watch it. Does it look like fun? Yep, but... it's stupid. It is the equivalent of a guy with a silenced AR or something running around a town shooting all of the squirrels out of trees all ninja like or something. It would be entertaining to watch, but a completely stupid move for several reasons. Just depends on how you feel about the topic.

They don't, he reimplanted them uptop to replace the missing gray matter between the ears.

[Gman]

He's no joke, he's a menace to the driving public. I don't care if he ends up as a greasy smear on the pavement, but at those speeds, the bike will easily penetrate a car.

The riders I used to watch that had nuts the size of coconuts were racers. They were on the ragged edge of control battling with other guys doing the same. When they laid a bike down, they slid on their leathers and popped onto their feet to run out the rest of the get-off. Then they hopped back on the bike if it would run or would cuss it out if it gave up the fight.

As a rider myself I have to admit I admire his skill but not his judgment. If he were to hit a slow moving Alpha at 185 MPH he and most likely some others would have a very bad day. The Isle of Mann racers also tremendously skilled must be completely nuts, you hear stories about racers hitting cows or horses that wander onto the course at 200.

[Irving]

Recently, an adjuster was handling a claim where a motorcycle was involved, and there was a question of the speed of the rider at the time of the accident.
Adjuster looks the rider up on Facebook and his picture is of someone riding a bike with just his feet on the handle bars, photo taken with cell phone from the rider's perspective. Doh!

[Gman]

The LCD speedo tops out at 299 KPH (186 MPH). He has other videos indicating the bike will do 220 MPH.

Dumb shit hopefully when he crashes he dosent kill any one but him self.

[Byte Stryke]

am I the only one that was secretly hoping there was a road gator waiting on the shoulder for him?

[rockhound]

There is no excuse for riding or driving at those speeds anyqhere but the track, this guy is an asshole

I came back from co spgs last month, almost put one of these guys in his grave with my truck, only reason he isnt dead is because i looked twice before switching lanes, 140 easy down I25, he had no chance to react to me changing lanes,

[n8tive97]

I witnessed someone doing this very thing on I70 this past Saturday. I was getting ready to change lanes by Bass Pro and I got some jackass on a motorcycle weaving in between cars like this dumb ass in the video. Had I moved over a half second later, Splat!!!! I drove past my exit 2 miles, because I just knew I would see him become part of the asphalt. It is only a matter of time!

[Madeinhb]

This guys an asshole. He could have cause at least two accidents when cars were changing lanes.

[ruthabagah]

Note to self for my next trip to Sweden: There is no cops between Stockholm and uppsala....

That is shit your pants fast! Fastest I've gone on two wheels is 169... only did it for a moment because I feared having to change my underpants, or worse....

That video is crazy! I've seen some of those German riders with the tank cams and it does make me miss riding (going on 6 years now since I've been on a bike), but I never ride like that, and splitting scares the ever loving crap out of me! It's not me I'm worried about, its the 100's of idiots out there who don't know how to drive, or can't see me. The margin for error on a bike is 1,000 times smaller than in a car. Usually in an auto accident on the highway, your bones may break. On a motorcycle they don't break, they shatter. Still, no better feeling than being on a badass two-wheeled machine and it's just you and the road. I miss my CBR.

[RblDiver]

But can he do the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs?

Yeah, he's ridiculously reckless. My dad had to give a deposition last week regarding a motorcyclist who died on his project from being an idiot. I imagine this guy'll force someone else into that situation too before long.

I decided to watch a few more of his video's... He doesn't give two cents about the police. He just out runs them. He also has a video of him pulling up by the front doors of a police station, on the sidewalk about 40 feet off the road, and doing a 5 second burn out before taking off back down the sidewalk and speeding away.

[Gman]

He has a video where he gets the police to chase him, then pulls in front of a bus and drives the limit. The cops go shooting by him and he pulls in behind them and chases them for a while. He shoots back past them and the chase continues. He almost causes an accident between the police and another driver at an overpass.

He knows what he's doing...and keeps doing it.

He better not need any help from law enforcement, because he may not get any.

Fastest on two wheels for me is 185. Bike was still climbing, but my balls shrank.

Youtube provides a great service: it allows those of us who have no interest in the "fastest I've gone on two wheels" competition to get a hint of the visual. It's a bit like people sitting around talking about how deep they've been on a dive: the guy in the wheelchair due to being bent will usually have the deepest number - for a reason. Those Ghost Rider videos are interesting to watch but I'd prefer not to be on the road when that rider is. I find it nerve wracking to have someone pass me when I'm going 65 and they appear to be going well over twice that.

Indeed, and it has been years since I have seen over 100.

Mine had a 520 conversion on it, so the top end was reduced, but I still had some RPMs left in 6th before I redlined- I'm guessing I wouldn't have broken 180 though.
