Ghost Rider

[Andi]

This chap is a world legend with iconic hero status.

 

There are many you tube videos and he has his own website selling videos. He has thousands of fans the world over.

How do you feel about this?

One mans freedom fighter is another mans terrorist.

You didn't put in a category of selfish tosser who doesn't give a **** about anyone elses safety. Love to see him ride in the US.

Sorry but way i see it, anyone can drive however they like aslong as A it does not jepodises anyones safty but there own, and B, they are the only one to get hurt when it goes wrong,

What a selfish pratt-- unless ALL the other vehicles involved were informed "extras" he is risking their lives as well-- a knee-jerk re-action to being over taken like that & you have a multi-ple pile up. Do it on a race track with other equally skilled/daft riders & drivers; then he won't seem so "brave".

Mitch, I may have taken your reply the wrong way, but the way I have taken it requires the following response: NO ONE can drive how they like, full stop. That is why there are rules on the road. The video that Andi has posted, and I must say I'm not quite sure why he has posted it as it just seems to glorify wanton and wreckless driving/riding, is on a public highway and includes persons that do not wish to partake in this idiot's antics. He is not riding on skill, he is riding on luck and borrowed time, but he is playing with other peoples lives, which does not justify this sort of promotion.

In your response Mitch, A equals race track, and B also equals race track. As Bob (FMW) has said, go do it on a track with equally minded people.

I sincerely hope this idiot gets caught as a soon as possible and before he injures or kills someone. I also hope his camera buddies are also arrested and charged with aiding and abetting, perverting the course of justice, and what ever else the law can give them. They are just as guilty as the idiot rider.

Why didn't you just show a video of a bomb going off? Where is the difference? This person is doing something he enjoys doing, which involves innocent people possibly being injuried or killed, in a public place for his own self gratification. Now, you tell me what the difference is?

I lost a friend due to a riding accident, so this sort of thing is not to be glamourised. I know these videos exist, and many more of similar kind, but I choose not to watch them.

Perhaps a little more thought in your response wouldn't have warranted this rant

 

Edit: I think the poll says a lot about how people feel

Lets just hope that when he eventually meets his maker he dosn't take some poor soul with him.

 

Kn***b springs to mind.

 

If he is really that good he would be on the three legged island every year and be crowned "king of the mountain"

Good response Ian, but he is more used to the wide highways of the States rather than the twisties on the I.O.M. He wouldn't even pass the qualification round if there was one! He wouldn't stand a chance in a race on a track.

[agent_zed]

it would annoy me if i had to buy a giant bottle of 'motorcyclist remover' if he was to splat on the back of my car.

 

His speedo showed 250kph (150mph-ish?) enough speed difference that if he collided with the back of me moving at 70mph the impact would still be an 80mph impact (unless my physics/maths are wrong). If i was in the hood he might end up in my footwell and i'd have to clean the carpets !

 

keep it on the track, where people aren't just trying to go to school or the shops or works etc without getting dead.

 

just my thoughts for the sake of discussion

[Guest Larson250]

I would like to see the video where he kills himself (only) because that is one body I wouldn't mind scraping up of the road.

 

I couldn't say on here what I would call him.

 

In true James May style "COCK"

[Guest smartfazer]

The guy is a Tw*t.

 

I just hope that he or she doesn't take out or injure anybody or anything else when he finally has an "error of judgement".

 

It's not a case of if......it's when!

This was the point I was trying to make.

I cant believe he has so much hero status and wondered what kind of person would look up to him?

The poll is proving Hoodies certainly do not.

And would he still retain this worship if say, he kills a child? I think not.

[Guest The Modfather]

Andi, sorry mate it appeared that you were showing him in the wrong light. I suppose this is like text messaging when things are said meaning one thing, but read in a different light. You also failed to include the option to vote him as a Total f***** idiotic w*****.

[Guest phil howard]

The very excitement that you crave in your kit car is only a fraction of the buzz you get on a bike.

 

Whilst I cannot condone this riding, he has without a doubt an amazing amount of skill. He has been doing this for over 10 years that i know of.

The rumour in the biking community is that is a bike racer......

 

Once all the 'whingers' have banned motorcycles, then the next on the list might well be kit cars.

This all smacks of finding someone elses freedom and complaining about it.

 

obviously if he gets caught it will be a jail sentance and no doubt he accepts that risk.

 

I hope non of the "do gooders" break the law, ..........or are your discrepancies acceptable?

It disgusts me that people look forward to other road users having an accident.

Lol, This is true, Ive seen many an argument on forums when it turns out they are all on the same side.

except i would say he is the one risking everyone elses freedom(and lives!) and sensible enjoyment of bikes/cars and only adds to other people saying things like bikes should be banned. he is doing nobody a favour driving like this, especially bikers who will get tar'ed with the same brush.

 

Even on my wildest day out driving i wouldn't dream of driving in a manor like this. Its one thing to do 80mph on the M5 when its quiet (not that i even do that to be honest) and another to do 150mph through traffic.

 

certainly don't want him to crash but if he does i'd rather he hurt himself than someone else.

 

some interesting views on this so far.
