The guy driving the M is insanely good, gotta love those 120km/h drifts on the on-ramps.

He's been a mysterious figure videotaped on insanely fast bikes absolutely murdering European highways. I had one clip of him on a 499bhp turbo Hayabusa. We're talking front wheel in the air, passing people at 170+. He was recently revealed to be a rather nondescript middle-aged dude.+JuggerNaut+ wrote:i'm not clicking on that link to find out who/what "ghostrider" *shivers* is. cluepon?

i really, really despise people such as the ghostrider (especially the wannabes) and am quite taken aback when people find it "cool" such as toxicbug.
i got no problem with these guys risking their life or valuing their life so little. my problem with it comes that they ignore the situation that others are put in because of them. you want to die? thats fine, but i dont want your blood on my hands nor does any one else for the most part. there are places they can drively quickly...open roads or race tracks. i understand that it might not have the same thrill, but eh...they gotta live with it, especially when they (should) put into perspective other's considerations.
their philosophy very negatively infringes on my philosophy and others. its just like religion...believe in whatever you want to believe so long as it doesnt get in my way or negatively affect me.
this doesn't even address the issue of one own's property damage. anyway, if someone wanted to commit "suicide" very badly and asked me to do it, i would say "you can do what you want, but just get someone else to help you". im sure a lot of people feel this way.

That's the vid Night is referring to.
One of Ghostrider's camera men is doing 300km/h and Ghostrider passes him like he's stopped, while doing a wheelie. :icon28:
I wholeheartedly agree with Chupacabra.
He puts other people in danger. If he causes an accident, then someone else that might be involved might not have caused it and not be held responsible, but any accident comes paired with an emotional shock. At speeds like that, death is not unlikely. That alone puts a huge burden on people involved in that one fatal accident.
And it doesn't even have to be an accident. I'd be scared shitless if a bike comes flying by at such a speed. Chances are other people would've never noticed them.
