Uppsala run

[pabster]

Howdy folks,

Thought y'all would get a kick out of this video. This guy calls himself "Ghost Rider", and he's an absolutely insane motorcyclist in Sweden. Plenty of videos out there, but this is a good one- he travels from Stockholm to the suburb of Uppsala in under 15 minutes, distance of 42.6 miles. During the day, with a fair amount of traffic.

Ballsy as hell doesn't begin to describe this. Enjoy.

He was hitting around 180+ in some spots. Look at his speedo it says 292 kph.

Sick but back in the 80's we used to do that up and down the Nimitz freeway lol. I was on a few news reports ;) Now I do 4 wheels.

Damn, bigman. Doing that kind of speed on the Nimitz... ballsy. I've approached that speed once or twice on the San Rafael-Richmond Bridge, but it was late at night and I was 99% sure I wouldn't get caught. Not so ballsy.

Good way to be a permanent Ghost Rider!

On the old Nimitz 17/780 freeway that's pretty much crazy, I too did some really stupid stuff in my youth too, in the S.F. bay area, Concord, Walnut Creek, Caldicot tunnel, Piedmont/Montclaire, Hayward, hwy 4 between Pittsburg & Antioch, hwy160 "river road" between Brentwood/Oakley & Sacramento racing my brother in our Camaro's... But mostly in cars though, not too much on my bikes, 120mph runs I'm sure with the V-Max & KZ1000R or Kawi 750 tripple 2 stroke, but never at those kind of speeds, I saved the really fast stuff for at the dragstrip/track, did lots of street racing though, late 70's to early 80's Eygnatio Valley Blvd. or Willow Pass rd. between Concord & Walnut Creek...

I think we all did that stupid stuff back in the day, I sure did... Once on the outskirts of town here my future brother in law and i lined our cars up almost the edge of town and raced, i lost he got away and to this day i don't know where that cop came from, that episode cost me around $250.00 dollars. His dad had a Garage up over the hill with a junk yard and thats where he disappeared too, drove way back in there and hid, he watched me and the cop from the top of the hill, i get nailed, lost the race and hes laughing his back side off, but never at the speeds here ive ever been at..
