That's "Ghost rider" mate, a truly crazy guy in Europe who can ride better than anyone I've seen recently. You can buy his movies, and they are so scary your stomach will be in your mouth, for sure. Dave in NSW sent me a copy, and it was frightening! Cheers, Terry. ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Yeah mate, it's in "Klicks", but when he's hitting 299 (that's all the speedo will read to) he's getting awfully close to 200 MPH! Cheers, Terry. ;D (I believe in Ghosts!)

...and that last wheelie would be pushing 120mph.  On the shoulder.  With traffic.  Yeesh.

watched one of his vids recently... the one where he's chasing a beemer thru traffic... maybe that's this one haven't watched yet due to dialup.  the guy has kahoonas. 

watched a friend of mine about 10 years ago pull a wheelie over a dam near my house.  sad part was there was a girl on the back of his cbr900rr...  he went over the balance point, the he then had no control of where the bike was headed... luckily, it stayed between the lanes (barely), he swerved so bad i was nearly stopped by this point in order to not run them over when they crashed. 

SPARKS FLEW when he landed the wheelie, i could see her smackin him around up ahead.

I have not deliberately wheelied any of my streetbikes since then.

while we were on the subject of wheelies   :-X

G'Day Juha, is that the black one? I've got a video that Dpen (Dave) sent me, it's just bloody frightening, I could only watch it in small "grabs" because I felt sick if I watched more than 10 minutes at a time, I just couldn't get used to what he was doing? Someone said the original "Ghostrider" was killed, is this true? I wouldn't be surprised if there were several "Ghostriders", like all the "Lassies" or "Skippys", ha ha! ;D

Here's a pic of the Busa when it was still yellow.Last version is carbon.
I've heard that he was killed, but who knows? I believe there are several different guys riding in those videos.Lots of crazy Swedes out there  ;D
"Ghostrider" visited Finland in 2004 and 2005.
If I'm not mistaken, he comes to Bomberweekend 2006 as well.
