As a Swedish 90's kid, the name Ghost Rider is so nostalgic! I still remember downloading videos of him from Kazaa and Limewire (and getting tons of viruses) and watching them together with friends, laughing our asses off from how he is trolling the police. He takes lane splitting to the next level. Absolute legend! I'm so excited to see him back, and this time on CZcams!
You don't know that, just like we all dont. We still don't know his name or face 20+ years later. He def works in this field tho, Nobody rides like that who isnt a full time rider.
I've been in my car in Greece doing 60,70 and had three bikes come by on both sides at this sort of speed as if I wasn't even moving, if you've ever experienced a jet fighter exploding out of nowhere in the sky it was like that, brilliant, so inspiring.
Greece by night is full of racers, both riders and drivers. We have a long history of road races and we are very familiar with wheels. This is why the death rate from accidents is really high (if not the highest in EU) here. Cheers from Greece - Πάντα όρθιοι!
I had a friend who rode his bike like this back in the day. He had a Honda Blackbird back in the 1990s and we decided to head down for the Isle of Man for the weekend……..Never made it past Carlisle, as he came off his bike at high speed. We couldn’t find him and police ended up finding him nearly 200 meters away from his bike, in a ditch at the side of the road. He died multiple times at the roadside and on his way to hospital. It’s quite frankly a miracle that he survived with his injuries. We were told that he would more than likely need his right leg amputated at the hip and his left foot amputated, along with his left arm at the elbow…….Surgeons managed to save all his limbs. He needed 11 surgeries while in hospital and was in hospital for nearly 8 months………He was also told he’d never walk again, it he walked out of hospital when he was discharged. He no longer rides like an idiot.
@@mynamegeoff7135 If you have friends who ride motor bikes, you’ll have friends who have injured themself on said motorbike. I crashed my first 125cc Honda several times going to work when I was a teenager……Nothing serious, just going too fast on a country road and ending up in a ditch 🤣….Same ditch every time as well, lol.
He died multiple times??? And he's alive???? Also, you use the word "friend" the same way we use the word "moron". Nobody should ever drive like this on any public road period, these rides could be seen as purposfully taking risk with other people's lives. Shitheads like ghostrider should be in jail.
@@nielsklarenberg5871 the isle of man TT races are legal and there is medical personnel on stand by so they are only risking their own life and not the life of others.
I'm a guy who has almost no experience riding and a friend of mine let me on his R6 once. I "accidentally" got on the throttle and was able to pull the clutch and keep myself from dying. I wasn't ready for the acceleration and the bike almost left me. I took it back to my friend and did not tell him what happened. I learned something that day. Respect.
Many many, many years ago I got on my friends Yamaha RD 400 race bike, (not street legal) and took it around the block. I've been riding 2 stroke dirt bikes my whole life but this 2 stroke RD 400 was a different animal entirely. In first gear the powerband opened up, the front wheel came up so I shifted to 2nd and rolled of the throttle to bring it back down. It was gnarly! I'll never forget it and I never took up street bikes, too many of my friends had really bad accidents and that didn't appeal to me.
That's impressive. I started on a liter bike, not even having prior experience from a moped, now have 7-8 years on them and it has not ever been near happening. You should certainly not be biking at all or have at least half the handle as dead zone if you are that clumsy, lol. Seems like another widespread youtube myth, like you just epileptically twist the throttle for no reason. In real life, this doesn't happen.
I’m usually one for saying what an idiot etc etc but you cannot deny the absolute talent, besides the negligence, it’s insanely impressive. And cameras never do it justice
dude is the literal example of "I paid for the whole speedometer so I'm going to use the whole speedometer". I guess after you experience some events your hearts slowly becomes dead, and this is the only way you can feel the adrenaline rush. still, he's the one anomaly in a perfect system, all it takes is a second anomaly and he'll crash.
Honestly, my favorite thing about this video isn't that it's in HD, but that this mad lad is still with us. I had all of the DVDs back in the day. You're absolutely right that this guy has a ton of experience because of how he anticipates the vehicles changing lanes.
It's Patrik Fürstenhoff. He's since confirmed that it was him since the statute of limitations expired. He is actually selling his famed Hyabusa as of yesterday and now rides a BMW S1000RR as his stunt bike.
They didn't. Motorcycles are hard enough to see in a rear view mirror at legal speed wearing bmw H-viz yellow gear.. IF you looked in the right spot He would look like a tiny bright spot (headlight) way back there and then (out of nowhere; 120mph speed difference?), Hes' behind you or along side. You would be startled by his exhaust ripping past you.
I absolutely was expecting to hear of Ghostriders death or arrest two decades ago. The fact that the guy is still alive and free proves what next level rider he must be, because honestly, I dont think my brain could keep up riding at that pace for that long, especially through traffic. I think the weirdest part watching his latest video is that Im so used to his riding, it didnt really bother me and I was just enjoying the footage, where as when I first started watching him, my brain would be screaming with fear the entire time and Id have an adrenaline rush watching it.
The original Ghost Rider is most probably 6 feet under and some dude has thought it a good idea to replicate a "come back" and call himself ... the Ghost Rider. Unless: like many 'culprits' he WANTS to be caught. One thing that is pretty obvious; He was Swedish 20 years ago.
@@CoLFC I suspect that if he had killed himself in an accident his bike would have been recognised and it would have been all over the papers, but maybe not ? "Special Forces" LOL. People do not realise how closely supervised thay can be, no need for "Special Forces" ... THIS is probably the case. Stopped by police.
His identity isn't unknown, his very well known. He lives bout 10 mins from me. He used to run a shop. He stopped because he wanted to set a good example for his son.
3:44 It happened to me. Back when I was like 21 or 22 years. I was driving through the desert with my cruise control set for 190Km/h, then out of nowhere a guy on a bike came out of nowhere and blew past me at least another 100km/h faster than I was going. Scared the absolute shit out of me. I didn't see him coming and all I can tell you is that sounded Japanese and was red and white. I did not have a chance to see what sort of bike it was. while the speed limit is 110km/h there's almost no traffic and my car was in fantastic condition. The huge distances out there take forever to traverse so when I was younger I used to try to go a little quicker to get across the desert a little fast. The guy on the bike had the same idea. lots of people did back then. there were no police that far out in the desert. Im talking about the inland route from Port Hedland to Perth. Once you get a few hundred km in between towns you can open up a little reasonably safely back then. Roads were in good shape back then. I imagine they are shit now, all roads in Australia are badly neglected now. I'm nearly 50 now.
That's how it should be. No speed limits on the motorways. If you don't want to go fast keep left. Even with no speed limits. It's likely many people wouldn't travel beyond 140km/hr due to increased fuel consumption anyway. It would make people better and alert drivers, and reduce fatigue between major city trips. Glad you enjoyed what you did. (The kangaroo comment, people would learn when they're out and active, and slow down during these times).
@@letsgocruising How about special licence plates for drivers and riders who’ve passed a much stiffer test than usual. Their demonstrated extra skills could be rewarded with permission to travel 50 km/hr, 80 km/hr, or whatever speed above posted limits, or maybe 50% above. OR, they could even be exempt from speeding tickets. How would that be? Of course, they must never have a crash, or their special privileges would be revoked for one month, one year, or forever, depending on the circumstances of the crash.
Terrifying - but he is SO switched on. His faculties are far beyond the majority of us. He’s literally a genius and we all know how close madness is to that!
I used to ride like this regularly, you're lucky to get 23 minutes out of a tank at full bore. Like people, cars have body language, you learn to anticipate driver behaviours. In most cases they don't even know you're there before you've already flown by, bad driver's will react to you not understanding they are increasing the complexity of the riders decision making over just staying put, the rider already has a line picked out so just stick with yours (including if you begin changing lanes, see the rider and opt to correct, bad move). I always looked for eyes in the rear view and driver's doing shoulder checks. You'd be surprised what your brain can take in when you adrenaline is at max and your hyper aware.
Yes you must read people way ahead.Spliting traffic at 160 in a curve is so thrilling to me I don't know why I do this something pushes me to go faster.
And your sense of self-preservation would be non-existent. Keep in mind, it takes only one tiny mistake or unexpected factor (oil on the road, whatever) and you'd be history. It doesn't matter how skilled you are as a rider eventually, if you keep on pushing it you're done.
I was out riding my Aprilia rsv mille around Stockholm in 2004 (I think) when I caught a police in the mirror while speeding! He pulled up alongside me and to my surprise he was driving a Suzuki 1000R and that seemed a bit strange to me, but then what happened took the strange to a whole different level ;he gave me a thumbs up and did a wheelie with full throttle and a few seconds later he was gone! Ghostrider rules!!!!
In our 20's we were in awe of this guy lol, had all the DVD's, watching it in my late 40's however haha, absolutley nuts but I'm glad he's still with us. Enjoyed this vid, cheers.
@@drossano9794 it's the same person as before. He bought not long ago Subaru car and he wants it black as his old one from his Subaru movies. He got Patreon were all videos are putted out first.
I'm a rider and I drive trucks for a living. Something starts to happen after a few years, you start to see "intention" with a vehicle's movement even without brake lights or indicators. Plenty of times I've avoided a collision intuitively, the ghost rider must have a great traffic sense as well as track racing experience. He must work on the roads for a living surely
1000% agree with this! I’ve done so many delivery jobs and it’s reached a point where I just know when a car is going to switch lanes or when a car is going to try and cut in front or do anything really. We must be subconsciously aware of something they’re doing but I couldn’t tell you what, it’s just an intuitive “that cars gonna cut into my lane without indicating” Definitely don’t think I could do it at these speeds though!
Definitely something to what you say. I’ve had plenty of bad driving days in both cars and on my bike and just know I’m not with it. But when you get that odd day when your mind is alert and clear and the conditions are just right and you just nail it, it all just comes together and everything just seems to flow and your thought processes are instant and you just “know”. The special thing about this guy is that he seems to be in the moment all of the time and can just keep doing it for as long he has petrol in his tank.
It's true that you can see the body language of a car sometimes but I wouldn't stake my life on it each and every time. Guess that's the difference between the GhostRiders of this world and the other 99+%...
I believe he actually raced the TT quiet a few times, definitely a professional drivers skill, also you can se he's a pretty small, solid guy built just like the racers :D
I can relate as I have done some silly things on my bikes back in the 90's and 00's. As for Ghost Rider everyone has seen his absolutely bonkers films. Even on a snowmobile converted for road use and on a turbo Hayabusha!! He is a legend. However it is like a video game when you must make zero mistakes because there are no extra lives.
In my experience, when driving in triple digits, most drivers do not see you until you have already passed. You are moving faster than they can see you and react. Driving that way is something only a few do, but once you have, it is hard to not do it over and over.
Absolutely breathtaking, yes he is breaking the law it's dangerous for other road users totally reckless. But fuck me I have never seen anyone else come close to the level of sheer speed whilst being in full control. It's seems hard to imagine he could be anything but a pro racer as everything seems so calm and precise even at these ludicrous speeds. Thanks for the upload I really enjoyed this was like watching Trinity in the Matrix.
Yeah I was just thinking I wonder if when he disappeared he was not breaking the law so he can race then his career ended and he got back as ghost rider
like it looks reckless to normal eye but every input every move, even his position on the road and anticipation of the traffic is so damn spot on. dude is in full control while having no limits
@@darkoquist6133 This guy built the Hayabusa turbo aka "Turbosa" for Patrik, which you can see in this video (with timestamp) : czcams.com/video/aY79VfjVpNY/video.html This bike was used during videos of the ghost rider Pretty easy to read the internet
Think what you want ^^ this is no more a mistery now czcams.com/video/_fQwwvb7CRc/video.html czcams.com/video/xEYcgUf0rmE/video.html Did you even translated the part I sended ?
Guys, Salvation is Very Simple HalleluYAH translates “Praise ye YaH” YaH is The Heavenly Father YaH arrives via the TENT OF MEETING YaH was Who they Crucified for our sins ** NO FEMALE INVOLVED WHATSOEVER ** - Hebrew Book of Isaiah (The Original Isaiah) Isaiah 42:8 "I am YaH; that is my Name!

As someone that had their valves interface with a piston at ~220 km/h I have to say: this looks fun. These days I don't feel comfortable drawing other road users into my high risk games but videos like these let me 'pick my line' through traffic to keep my mind sharp. On the other hand, I wonder how much good we're doing by calling him a nutcase and praising the behaviour. I've had some less than great times where adrenaline was the closest thing to an emotion that my brain registered, and I've noticed similar things in other people that have some baggage. It was a hard hole for me to climb out of, and I didn't have anyone praising my dangerous quest for endorphins, just the endless grey of a broken brain. He's obviously got loads of skill and the balls to match it, but I hope it's coming from a good place. If not, I wish him all the best in getting there and I hope he has loved ones that can support him when the adrenaline runs out.
Had the chain lock up at around 235. Luckily, it broke loose and I was able coast it off the road. Had to replace the chain, sprocket, and some other bits it broke off. The ass clinch was unreal. I rarely get it over 120 these days.
In 1992 I got my first really fast bike, a ZZR-1100. It was quite heavily modded too. I was a fairly experienced rider with something of a death wish, total thrill seeker. I used to ride like this, not as skilled of course but the same death defiance. After the Kawa I got a Blackbird and it was worse. Quite a few close scrapes, never any accidents. I always knew it could be over in 1/10th of a second and I never cared. Always a smile on my face. I was never more alive than riding like that. I am 61 years old now but I still get the itch at times. Don't have fast bike atm but looking for one. I know this will sound weird or nuts to a lot of people but the thing is, we all die. And what a way to go, if you have to go. With a smile on my face. ;)
That was scary to watch. I used to be a bit naughty on my bike ( I got stopped at 140 once and managed to talk my way out of it - that was the last time, I have been careful ever since and enjoyed 35 years of clean licence ). These days I just enjoy the open air and the countryside.
Absolutely MLH&R! My good friend just beat a 140+ mph ticket because they couldn’t get consistent readings from the air. Did the ton when it was still a big deal. My “retirement” bike does an 11 flat stock, with a dyno sheet that shows a significant bump across that broad Triumph triple power range. This time I will take it to the strip, out of respect for my loved ones’ fears. But I am in search of a quarter in the tens above 130 mph. Because I am supposed to be intelligent, but I was born with a hooner gene. Props to my love, who wants me to do this. Just because I am not ready to be old yet. You are proof that I am not the only otherwise intelligent person who loves to ride fast. But I’ll bet you still blow out the carbon lol when no one is looking. I still semi secretly wonder if I can keep it street legal as an older liter bike, but break into the 9 seconds range without spending a fortune. Not sure it’s possible. But want to find out. Big Daddy Don Garlits still building and racing bikes at 90+
I'm 46 now watching this as I think to myself how much I've changed. In my late teens/early 20s I road like this near daily around Atlanta. Literally, getting on the HWY meant full throttle till the exit ramp. It was a lot of fun and I never felt as though I was in much of any danger. Now looking at this guy do it, maybe I wasn't so smart at that time of my life.
I owned a turbo supra when I was young. I've actually owned several. Much the same. Not just the highway, though. Hardly a day would go by on any given week I wouldn't be doing 140-150+mph, usually multiple times. Not very smart, but at the time, I just didn't care. Not that I didn't care about people on the road. I was always doing my best to do it in a safe manner for others. But that's just ignorant. Shit happens. Luckily, not to me. And not to anyone else. Not then.
@@suprafastmafc As a german who does about 75 miles on the Autobahn daily, going 140-150 mph is totally fine. And well, you always meet a faster one. ;)
With the average blink time being 0.1-0.4 seconds and if you're travelling at 300km/h or 180mph (83m/s or 272ft/s) you'll go roughly 8-32 m or 26-104 ft with your eyes closed every time you blink.
2005 Was a great year for motorcycles, probably the last time a bike came out that was more bonkers than the previous model, Suzuki GSXR 1000 k5 and Kawasaki ZX10R C2h were absolutely brutal.
I had Kwaka c2h (aka widdow maker) nice bike to ride until you hit 8k rpm then wants to kill you. Had to replace brake pads and lines as the brakes were not the best as standard.
While I'm completely in awe over his riding skills and the miracle it has taken for him to stay alive so far, I have to say: Please don't ask for more of this, it will inevitably end tragically.
Although i can't help being glued to the screen watching this, and his skills are out of this world, no effing way i'm giving props to this. I'm fine with the fact someone himself is comfortable with giving his life for this rush, i'm definitely not with him endangering everybody else's life on the road. If this guys rams into you at that speed, it's like a rocket that is being blast into the car and as a result we're not just scraping him off the pavement but everybody involved. Yes, i know i know, i will show myself out thank you.
well said sir. i'm of the exact same opinion. he is a big danger to others and himself. i don't know what i would do to a guy like that if someone i knew godt blasted by someone like him doing that for a video to show of. but fuck me he can ride that bike 🤣
this guy has been riding like this for a very long time, his instincts at these speeds says a lot, he is very aware of what is going on, his brain has adapted to it. kind of like a fighter pilot with many years of seat time. that being said this scares the crap out of me just watching it.
That rider, the ghost rider had got some mentally good skills, but it only takes one person to move, one component failure and it’s game over, this really is slinging your knackers to the wall 👍💪
Canada Russ here, ive done it all on a bike. This is ruthless danger to the public. I highly doubt its the real ghostrider. Hella skills though but hes a danger to the public.
Actually his identity is not unknown and he in fact came out owned up to it. It’s the same guy who holds the world record for the fastest wheelie in the world which was done on the same busa he used for his police chases. Due to Swedish law he was able to identify himself without getting in trouble. His name was Patrik Fürstenhoff a ex Swedish mechanic and pro race !
He’s not dead but he’s turned into a hustler/con artist. He even did a similar “win my bike”-thing several years and never came through, even though the winner of the raffle went public. Basically he swindled a lot of people.
His reaction timing is far greater than the majority of people, probably trained on skeet, & trap ranges from young kid to riding professional race team. His riding in public is NOT infalible & he knows it but he's still prepared to run the gauntlet for fame or whatever reason.
As the film said, somewhere out there is the perfect lap. This is it. Many years ago I was a dickhead on a GSX-R 750 and I loved it. This, this brings it all back.😍
Epic. I've done a few runs like this back in the day, when I was young and invincible. Had some close calls as you would imagine. Picked up a race with an R1 on the N1 highway in South Africa. Peak morning traffic that had just started opening up a bit. Traffic was moving at about 70 or 80km/h and we were flying through at about 240/250kmh. Crazy times. Stopped riding shortly after my daughter was born.
What's that in MPH, my Kawasaki GT 750 could do that even though it's a grand touring bike & not a racing bike, heck I've had my 500cc dirt bike at 147mph on grass.
Patrick Von Fürstenhof, professional motorcycle stuntman. Not dead. World record for the wheelie at something like 220 mph...I prob. have that wrong. Didn't feel like tryna look that up. It's a world record tho. That say enuff lol. Been watching him since he uploaded his first vid to yt. Also does a gocart, which is INSANELY FAST, as well as a STi I think??? I"m not a car person really. I did hear he was arrested and they took his bike and laptop/computer. Way back in the 2015 time frame.
Pretty widely recognized that the ghost rider is Patrik Fürstenhoff. He is an ex racer and holds world records for wheelies. If seem to remember him basically admiting it in an interview a number of years ago.
Yup, that's correct. The fun part about Swedish law is that unless you're specifically caught during a run, with your ass on the bike, they can't really do anything. Which is why Ghostrider couldn't do this in basically any country other than Sweden and maybe Norway (can't fully recall if they have the same laws regarding that).
Correct, he is also a former jail bird. Insurance fraud and motorcycle theft. Not liked by serious racers as he also stole from fellow racers. Hopefully he is a better person now.
ok so he did the paris run when he was 5 years old or what ?🤣 it is widely known that the french ghost rider inspired these guys the O.G ghost rider deffently also deserves a bit of credit for the myth no matter what a guy from sweden says the original paris run was done in 1989
@@Hansen710 ok i thought that original run was done by the Black Prince and Ghost rider did a tribute run in later years. The iconic ghost rider videos that most people have seen are Furstenhoff i believe.
My random thoughts: *As a non bike rider, even to me, the sound of the turbo Hyabusa used in the prior videos, is just incredible. What a sound! *Being now 2023, the problem is that it is almost impossible to tell if this is real or very high quality CGI *Ghostrider's identity is effectively known, except that it was never determined in the sense of him being prosecuted for any of his escapades *I am thinking that his antics were really only feasible in a country with dead-sensible people like Swedes. In other countries, the traffic would have been too erratic, and the drivers too aggressive and vindictive. And in one country, they would be out with 5 choppers and a sniper.
Your random thoughts are mostly those of a kid who spent an hour on CZcams. You know clearly nothing of CGI, or Swedes, or America. Keep drinking that Kool-Aid mate! 5 choppers and a sniper, lol.
Riders do this all across the states. Many nvr out a plate on and run from the police for fun. Those who post it and embarrass the cops gets punished far harder, so many avoid doing it.
It's clearly not CGI. Far to much detail that an artist wouldn't think to put in the video. He also slipped the clutch a couple of times and only a talented rider would even have half a chance at recreating that on CGI. It's not CGI by a long chalk.
Ghost Rider is a favorite to watch. He's dusted off so many coppers. Fast is understatement. I was traveling through Utah once and saw a bike blink by me, a minute later a cop was trying to catch him or her pulled up next to me and at that point the bike was a flash and completely out of sight, pretty sure the cop disengaged and just had to turn his lights off. He looked to me for answers through the windows, being myself I minded my own business, I could honestly say that bike was doing around 200mph or faster, and cop had NO chance in the world to catch that bike.
What a nostalgia bomb! When this first came out we had just made enough money to buy decent bikes, I bought a GIXER because of this man, took my brain out places it a jar and try to emulate. Now I watch this and think dear god… however I now have 2 boys and a little lady to watch over, how things change! Thank you for this bud
At 180mph/288kph, he's covering about 80m/s. Say the average speed of the traffic on the motorway is 60mph/96kph, he's approaching them at 120mph/196kph, or 53m/s. That means he's past a typical 4m long car in 4/53=0.075secs, approximately. So as long as he manages to pick a line through the traffic that gives him say a minimum of 1m clearance, even if a car did begin to change lanes, he's flashed past it before it has moved over much, at all. But that's the massive skill he has - looking as far ahead as possible and identifyying the right line. Having said that, that moment at 6:10 when the silver estate was moving to the right hand lane - there's no way he could have seen thatas it was hidden by the car he overtook just after the bus/coach, so he was incredibly lucky. I wonder if Ghost Rider has any track racing experience, not that track racing is really anything like this - its comparatively much safer, for a start.
Something I haven't seen in the comments yet: the respect for that motor running at 100% duty cycle and still getting him home, ready for action the next day!
Guy has a deathwish. All it takes is one car to change lanes and hes gonna set world record for fly through the air until his body is stopped by a tree . His remains could be put into a peanut butter jar
I was a street racer back in the late 70’s and took a few risks to enjoy the fullness of my bike. This guy however is just plain nuts, yes he’s got huge balls of steel but definitely a nutter. I’m 64 yrs old now and happy to say I survived my days of racing around the streets with the local law chasing along behind. Hopefully this guy can reach his old age too.
In sweden(where he is from and his identity is no longer a secret) the police must identify the driver, not the vehicle to take legal action toward them, so you can drive circle around the police, but if they can not identify that you were the driver, they cant arrest, fine you or confiscate any property because maybe someone borrowed it, maybe someone stole without your knowledge etc....
in sweden if the police can't see your face they can't show up to your house the next day and arrest you, they have to be able to prove that it was you riding.
Probably the occupants of whatever car he hits at 186mph as well........If he T-Boned a car, he'd go clean through it !!!!! ( well not so clean........a big mess) I'm a biker, a petrolhead all my life. This is rediculous behaviour.
Alongside the occupants of the car he would crash into. This guy is literally playing a video game with other people’s lives and « thumbs up » dude? GTFO
Well, sort of... or not really. I think you are in much higher risk riding your motorbike safely in the motorway than he is, whether you believe it or not. The rules are there to scare _you_, and stop _you_ from killing yourself. He won't. And if things do go the wrong way in the motorway, he's gonna be dead, while you'll live to play basketball. Maybe he doesn't wanna play basketball.
As a Swede, I can confirm that the highway he’s driving on is the E4, going northbound, as per my understanding of the area around the highway. And he went to Uppsala as I recognize that roundabout at the end, along with ikea there as well. And from my guessing, he started in Stockholm, and ended in Uppsala. That’s all I can find that is quite familiar to me. All of you who read this, have a wonderful day.
So if you have a distance of 72km travled in about 7 min this is the score: Km/t: 617.14. Min/km: 0.10. I can't not be done! ;) And if you look at 6:51 you can see a link to a website where you can see the uncut version, so this is clearly not the full video ;)
This is literally any guy in Portugal in the 90s who had an SS bike. By the way, if you would love to see that from your car, pass a summer travelling around in Germany, you will see it from time to time.
I'll say this guy knows how to handle a bike he goes through some tight places like it's nothing. That being said, he's as stupid as he is a good rider, all it would take is for someone to change lanes unexpectedly or hit the brakes for some reason and he'd be dead. He's going so fast that these other people have no idea he's coming till he's already past them so they could potentially move over a lane and have no clue what they've hit.
not really - because when the adrenalin is running that hard all the car driver in front are operating in slow motion - like being in the matrix, you can see which cars are twitching because the driver is looking in his mirrors - and the car has a split second to move before you are past it - they aren't quick enough to catch you out like that. What is dangerous is suddenly coming onto a bunch of stationary vehicles - now you have scrub off 150+mph in whatever distance you have left - that's why he always has an escape route planned - left or right. If someone unexpectedly spins in front of him & hits that armco - that could cause him a problem
@@stevesoutar3405 I completely disagree. EVERYTHING he is doing is dangerous. If you are doing 150 and come across stationary vehicles you are nothing but a fookin idiot. Are those people stationary idiots or is the idiot approaching them at 150+ an idiot? Are their lives nothing? In 85% of the video he has no escape route whatsoever - explain to me what the escape route is at 100mph please. I do not believe you have EVER had to brake like your life depended on it at 150+mph or you wouldn't for one second claim you had to 'scrub off speed'. DO NOT DO THIS on public roads. Go to a track day and find out how so fast you are not. Then go club racing and find you are last. If he was genuinely fast he would be racing other riders not dicking about being a complete bellend on public roads. IMO
It's not quite true! At that speed you've to predict most of moves, and in last case scenario millisecond moves with cms from other vehicles its how it's done, it requires thousands of hours and years ride in Traffic! Of course there's always things you can't control... It's always a risk!
I'm 45 years old, I also drive a Suzuki (maybe a little slower :)) and I understand why GhostRider drives so fast. Such a ride clears your mind, allows you not to go crazy and helps you cope with life in this damn world.
It is crazy, 15 years ago, we haven’t so good cams and it was impossible to catch the full craziness on VHS tape from the Ghostrider but this high quality mad ass ride is absolutely…..😳…..I can’t explained it
I watched this a few days ago and still absolutely mental but brilliant, people can say what the want but one thing for sure, the sheer control, skill and concentration at these speeds is simply phenomenal that really only TT riders would know.
That speed alone is scary and then add in that traffic which would spell instant death.. has huge guts.. ignoring the complete lack of consideration for any other road user . Insane
Just imagine how many more people are driving around with their nose down in their phones compared to before. Also would be interesting to see how a Tesla on autopilot would react to this speeding up from behind.
It doesnt seem to react at all at speed especially if you're swerving between other cars and it has no line of sight on you. Not sure if autopilot was on though ..
@@arjai9092 the fact that you’re right is so sad :/ bikes aren’t safe but not because of the bikes because of how many incompetent drivers there are on the road
You asked, “What goes through his head?” Answer: live life, taste death. Ghost Rider is a Swedish national treasure and for having watched his videos in the mid 2000s only for him to go MIA for a decade and then come roaring back with new video drops is an absolute treat!
Normally you wouldn't like because of incentives to do it more often. But this is sooooo un-earthly that you have developed a special sense... a gift!!!
I knew the ghost rider in person. Last spoke 0:50 to him about 9 years ago. He was doing a lot of work on a Subaru and putting time into his family, especially his son who was being mentored into a racing cars. A lovely chap, troubled by headaches,
This man is insane and skilled at the same time. I love to ride bikes and ride fast but nothing like that. I almost have an anxiety attack watching but I'm excited at the same time.
Despite how utterly insane this guy is, you cannot take away the fact he possesses such incredible skill, is totally fearless. Astounding he has keep his anonymity for so many years. He has to have history as a highly trained track racer as his level of skill and experience is way up there in a class of his own. You cannot help but admire this guy, he really is there in the top 1% of riders.
I remember watching him many years ago when those came out and now this. Just insane and amazingly talented. Sends shivers up your spine watching him doing some of these passes.
Patrik Fürstenhoff is the ghost rider,well one of them,he made the films with his mates and also came to the uk with the turbo busa to take part in elvington wheelie comp
June 2011 im driving from Wales up to Nottingham on a Sunday afternoon to start the night shift on the powerstation, i had a 2.2 SRI vectra and i was sitting in the outside lane doing 95 mph when im pretty sure this guy, the ghost rider undertook me in the outside lane at easily 120 mph on his back wheel and he continued on his backwheel until he was out of my sight, believe as a driver theres nothing as unnerving as a bike on its back wheel screaming past you in the inside when you have got your windows down, he made me jump that much i near hit the central barrier lol crazy crazy guy and if it wasn't the ghost rider it was someone just as good as him on an all black set up!
I was on the A55 heading towards Holyhead. I was at 70 and a bike went past me like it was going backwards. I estimated his speed over 160mph. I thought "Good on you mate". No one hurt or killed, just a guy having fun.
As a Swedish 90's kid, the name Ghost Rider is so nostalgic! I still remember downloading videos of him from Kazaa and Limewire (and getting tons of viruses) and watching them together with friends, laughing our asses off from how he is trolling the police. He takes lane splitting to the next level. Absolute legend! I'm so excited to see him back, and this time on CZcams!
Brooo yes lol dang we're old
I am one of those that put the viruses on the Ghost rider vids
Fuck yeah Limewire was tight .... i got my hands on some of these videos to
Haha kaza!! Noone ever remembers that one. Good times
I watched him from lime wire also. Spend 4 hours downloading 2 minute's just to destroy your computer and miss all phone calls
Imagine winning the bike.. at least you know it’s had one careful owner, and never been abused.. and the police definitely are not looking for it

I had a friend who rode his bike like this back in the day.
He had a Honda Blackbird back in the 1990s and we decided to head down for the Isle of Man for the weekend……..Never made it past Carlisle, as he came off his bike at high speed.
We couldn’t find him and police ended up finding him nearly 200 meters away from his bike, in a ditch at the side of the road.
He died multiple times at the roadside and on his way to hospital.
It’s quite frankly a miracle that he survived with his injuries.
We were told that he would more than likely need his right leg amputated at the hip and his left foot amputated, along with his left arm at the elbow…….Surgeons managed to save all his limbs.
He needed 11 surgeries while in hospital and was in hospital for nearly 8 months………He was also told he’d never walk again, it he walked out of hospital when he was discharged.
He no longer rides like an idiot.
Always a friend 🤣

I wasn't ready for the acceleration and the bike almost left me. I took it back to my friend and did not tell him what happened. I learned something that day. Respect.
Was your pants by any chance soiled 😭😭
Many many, many years ago I got on my friends Yamaha RD 400 race bike, (not street legal) and took it around the block. I've been riding 2 stroke dirt bikes my whole life but this 2 stroke RD 400 was a different animal entirely. In first gear the powerband opened up, the front wheel came up so I shifted to 2nd and rolled of the throttle to bring it back down. It was gnarly! I'll never forget it and I never took up street bikes, too many of my friends had really bad accidents and that didn't appeal to me.
That's impressive. I started on a liter bike, not even having prior experience from a moped, now have 7-8 years on them and it has not ever been near happening. You should certainly not be biking at all or have at least half the handle as dead zone if you are that clumsy, lol.
Seems like another widespread youtube myth, like you just epileptically twist the throttle for no reason. In real life, this doesn't happen.

Utterly reckless and dangerous but also the pinnacle of rider and bike working in harmony. You gotta respect the skills.
This guy is overtaking at such incredible speeds, most of these drivers probably had no clue he was there until he had already passed them.

I absolutely was expecting to hear of Ghostriders death or arrest two decades ago. The fact that the guy is still alive and free proves what next level rider he must be, because honestly, I dont think my brain could keep up riding at that pace for that long, especially through traffic.

Welp hes back now, with a prodigy 😂
@oliviadelaney1468 seems like it, been hearing him zooming abit now and then
3:44 It happened to me. Back when I was like 21 or 22 years. I was driving through the desert with my cruise control set for 190Km/h, then out of nowhere a guy on a bike came out of nowhere and blew past me at least another 100km/h faster than I was going. Scared the absolute shit out of me. I didn't see him coming and all I can tell you is that sounded Japanese and was red and white. I did not have a chance to see what sort of bike it was. while the speed limit is 110km/h there's almost no traffic and my car was in fantastic condition. The huge distances out there take forever to traverse so when I was younger I used to try to go a little quicker to get across the desert a little fast. The guy on the bike had the same idea. lots of people did back then. there were no police that far out in the desert. Im talking about the inland route from Port Hedland to Perth. Once you get a few hundred km in between towns you can open up a little reasonably safely back then. Roads were in good shape back then. I imagine they are shit now, all roads in Australia are badly neglected now. I'm nearly 50 now.
mustve been a honda fireblade.
So fast in Australia?? Thats suicide, a kangaroo or camel will hit and kill you...
That's how it should be.
No speed limits on the motorways. If you don't want to go fast keep left.
Even with no speed limits. It's likely many people wouldn't travel beyond 140km/hr due to increased fuel consumption anyway. It would make people better and alert drivers, and reduce fatigue between major city trips.
Glad you enjoyed what you did.
(The kangaroo comment, people would learn when they're out and active, and slow down during these times).
@@letsgocruising
How about special licence plates for drivers and riders who’ve passed a much stiffer test than usual. Their demonstrated extra skills could be rewarded with permission to travel 50 km/hr, 80 km/hr, or whatever speed above posted limits, or maybe 50% above. OR, they could even be exempt from speeding tickets. How would that be? Of course, they must never have a crash, or their special privileges would be revoked for one month, one year, or forever, depending on the circumstances of the crash.
@@nomorokay I'd be very interested in that. It's no different from L's and P's having different rules.
Terrifying - but he is SO switched on. His faculties are far beyond the majority of us. He’s literally a genius and we all know how close madness is to that!
What you just said there!! Damn right i gotta say!
I used to ride like this regularly, you're lucky to get 23 minutes out of a tank at full bore. Like people, cars have body language, you learn to anticipate driver behaviours. In most cases they don't even know you're there before you've already flown by, bad driver's will react to you not understanding they are increasing the complexity of the riders decision making over just staying put, the rider already has a line picked out so just stick with yours (including if you begin changing lanes, see the rider and opt to correct, bad move). I always looked for eyes in the rear view and driver's doing shoulder checks. You'd be surprised what your brain can take in when you adrenaline is at max and your hyper aware.
You’re*
It may be "only" 23 mins but that's 115km of distance
Yes you must read people way ahead.Spliting traffic at 160 in a curve is so thrilling to me I don't know why I do this something pushes me to go faster.
The amount of confidence and trust in your riding ability would have to be off the charts. Mad man
And your sense of self-preservation would be non-existent. Keep in mind, it takes only one tiny mistake or unexpected factor (oil on the road, whatever) and you'd be history. It doesn't matter how skilled you are as a rider eventually, if you keep on pushing it you're done.

I'm a rider and I drive trucks for a living. Something starts to happen after a few years, you start to see "intention" with a vehicle's movement even without brake lights or indicators. Plenty of times I've avoided a collision intuitively, the ghost rider must have a great traffic sense as well as track racing experience. He must work on the roads for a living surely
1000% agree with this! I’ve done so many delivery jobs and it’s reached a point where I just know when a car is going to switch lanes or when a car is going to try and cut in front or do anything really. We must be subconsciously aware of something they’re doing but I couldn’t tell you what, it’s just an intuitive “that cars gonna cut into my lane without indicating”
Definitely don’t think I could do it at these speeds though!
Definitely something to what you say. I’ve had plenty of bad driving days in both cars and on my bike and just know I’m not with it. But when you get that odd day when your mind is alert and clear and the conditions are just right and you just nail it, it all just comes together and everything just seems to flow and your thought processes are instant and you just “know”.
The special thing about this guy is that he seems to be in the moment all of the time and can just keep doing it for as long he has petrol in his tank.
It's true that you can see the body language of a car sometimes but I wouldn't stake my life on it each and every time. Guess that's the difference between the GhostRiders of this world and the other 99+%...

I can relate as I have done some silly things on my bikes back in the 90's and 00's. As for Ghost Rider everyone has seen his absolutely bonkers films. Even on a snowmobile converted for road use and on a turbo Hayabusha!! He is a legend. However it is like a video game when you must make zero mistakes because there are no extra lives.
At least the buttons don't stick or lag.
In my experience, when driving in triple digits, most drivers do not see you until you have already passed. You are moving faster than they can see you and react. Driving that way is something only a few do, but once you have, it is hard to not do it over and over.
Absolutely breathtaking, yes he is breaking the law it's dangerous for other road users totally reckless.
But fuck me I have never seen anyone else come close to the level of sheer speed whilst being in full control.

As someone that had their valves interface with a piston at ~220 km/h I have to say: this looks fun.
These days I don't feel comfortable drawing other road users into my high risk games but videos like these let me 'pick my line' through traffic to keep my mind sharp.
On the other hand, I wonder how much good we're doing by calling him a nutcase and praising the behaviour. I've had some less than great times where adrenaline was the closest thing to an emotion that my brain registered, and I've noticed similar things in other people that have some baggage. It was a hard hole for me to climb out of, and I didn't have anyone praising my dangerous quest for endorphins, just the endless grey of a broken brain.
He's obviously got loads of skill and the balls to match it, but I hope it's coming from a good place. If not, I wish him all the best in getting there and I hope he has loved ones that can support him when the adrenaline runs out.

Man this brings back memories.Incredibly fun.Your senses are total 100 percent awareness.
In 1992 I got my first really fast bike, a ZZR-1100. It was quite heavily modded too. I was a fairly experienced rider with something of a death wish, total thrill seeker. I used to ride like this, not as skilled of course but the same death defiance. After the Kawa I got a Blackbird and it was worse. Quite a few close scrapes, never any accidents. I always knew it could be over in 1/10th of a second and I never cared. Always a smile on my face. I was never more alive than riding like that.
I am 61 years old now but I still get the itch at times. Don't have fast bike atm but looking for one. I know this will sound weird or nuts to a lot of people but the thing is, we all die. And what a way to go, if you have to go. With a smile on my face. ;)
That was scary to watch. I used to be a bit naughty on my bike ( I got stopped at 140 once and managed to talk my way out of it - that was the last time, I have been careful ever since and enjoyed 35 years of clean licence ). These days I just enjoy the open air and the countryside.
Nothing wrong with that good on you

My good friend just beat a 140+ mph ticket because they couldn’t get consistent readings from the air.
Did the ton when it was still a big deal. My “retirement” bike does an 11 flat stock, with a dyno sheet that shows a significant bump across that broad Triumph triple power range.
This time I will take it to the strip, out of respect for my loved ones’ fears. But I am in search of a quarter in the tens above 130 mph.
Because I am supposed to be intelligent, but I was born with a hooner gene.
Props to my love, who wants me to do this. Just because I am not ready to be old yet.
You are proof that I am not the only otherwise intelligent person who loves to ride fast.
But I’ll bet you still blow out the carbon lol when no one is looking.

2005 Was a great year for motorcycles, probably the last time a bike came out that was more bonkers than the previous model, Suzuki GSXR 1000 k5 and Kawasaki ZX10R C2h were absolutely brutal.
Must have never seen an H2...
@@chriscross3924 So i have to plug in my little prince to drive it? Weird Key Solution imo
H2, S1000RR...
I had Kwaka c2h (aka widdow maker) nice bike to ride until you hit 8k rpm then wants to kill you. Had to replace brake pads and lines as the brakes were not the best as standard.
I mean it's one thing to trust his own driving skills, but the fact that he trusts the other drivers so much, now that is insane.
I don't believe he does trust them. He reads their driving pattern and predicts their possible/likely maneuvers. Trust has nothing to do with it.
Unlike america Sweden has people with actual training on the road
The problem with america is most of the other drivers aren't taught to leave their egos at home.
Trust?
The only insane thing going on here is that he recklessly risks other drivers life..
@@Superior1995Rex Oh do bore off. Go find a channel about narrow boats or something.
As my dad used to say. The graveyard is full of em.
While I'm completely in awe over his riding skills and the miracle it has taken for him to stay alive so far, I have to say: Please don't ask for more of this, it will inevitably end tragically.
Although i can't help being glued to the screen watching this, and his skills are out of this world, no effing way i'm giving props to this. I'm fine with the fact someone himself is comfortable with giving his life for this rush, i'm definitely not with him endangering everybody else's life on the road. If this guys rams into you at that speed, it's like a rocket that is being blast into the car and as a result we're not just scraping him off the pavement but everybody involved.
Yes, i know i know, i will show myself out thank you.
well said sir. i'm of the exact same opinion. he is a big danger to others and himself. i don't know what i would do to a guy like that if someone i knew godt blasted by someone like him doing that for a video to show of. but fuck me he can ride that bike 🤣
no need to show yourself out I'm happy to put the boot in
is he really endangering someone else? Everyone is in their cars and I think that if he hit them he would be the only one to get hurt.
@@swgwav could cause a distraction while passing them at speed, yes maybe a minor distraction but remember some people can over react to things
How hurt are you really going to be, if someone hit you in the rear while you are in your car?
this guy has been riding like this for a very long time, his instincts at these speeds says a lot, he is very aware of what is going on, his brain has adapted to it. kind of like a fighter pilot with many years of seat time. that being said this scares the crap out of me just watching it.
His best instinct is knowing when, where and how much to brake. For too many of us that is not the first choice.
Nah it’s just luck , yanks won’t get it our roads over this side of the pond are twisty
That rider, the ghost rider had got some mentally good skills, but it only takes one person to move, one component failure and it’s game over, this really is slinging your knackers to the wall 👍💪
Canada Russ here, ive done it all on a bike. This is ruthless danger to the public. I highly doubt its the real ghostrider. Hella skills though but hes a danger to the public.
my dad was big into sportbikes and stunting and had me watching these videos 15 years ago cool to see him pop back up👍🏻 dudes a legend
Actually his identity is not unknown and he in fact came out owned up to it. It’s the same guy who holds the world record for the fastest wheelie in the world which was done on the same busa he used for his police chases. Due to Swedish law he was able to identify himself without getting in trouble. His name was Patrik Fürstenhoff a ex Swedish mechanic and pro race !
Was? Is he dead?
He’s not dead but he’s turned into a hustler/con artist. He even did a similar “win my bike”-thing several years and never came through, even though the winner of the raffle went public. Basically he swindled a lot of people.
He's not dead
This is what I remember being the truth as well.
He has ridden that bike for years and very comfortable with it's limit he knows what he's doing pretty normal for him ❤
His reaction timing is far greater than the majority of people, probably trained on skeet, & trap ranges from young kid to riding professional race team. His riding in public is NOT infalible & he knows it but he's still prepared to run the gauntlet for fame or whatever reason.
As the film said, somewhere out there is the perfect lap. This is it. Many years ago I was a dickhead on a GSX-R 750 and I loved it. This, this brings it all back.😍

Epic. I've done a few runs like this back in the day, when I was young and invincible. Had some close calls as you would imagine. Picked up a race with an R1 on the N1 highway in South Africa. Peak morning traffic that had just started opening up a bit. Traffic was moving at about 70 or 80km/h and we were flying through at about 240/250kmh. Crazy times. Stopped riding shortly after my daughter was born.
Same here, I had a first gen hayabusa.
What's that in MPH, my Kawasaki GT 750 could do that even though it's a grand touring bike & not a racing bike, heck I've had my 500cc dirt bike at 147mph on grass.
If yo feel the need to boast about something as reckless and stupid, your daughter can be proud to have a mature man as a father. Cap!
At least yo stopped riding like that
@@Superior1995Rex No need for the negativity dude
Patrick Von Fürstenhof, professional motorcycle stuntman. Not dead. World record for the wheelie at something like 220 mph...I prob. have that wrong. Didn't feel like tryna look that up. It's a world record tho. That say enuff lol. Been watching him since he uploaded his first vid to yt. Also does a gocart, which is INSANELY FAST, as well as a STi I think??? I"m not a car person really.
I did hear he was arrested and they took his bike and laptop/computer. Way back in the 2015 time frame.
“I wonder what’s going through this man’s head”
His head, probably: “Haha, near miss, +15 points!”
Pretty widely recognized that the ghost rider is Patrik Fürstenhoff. He is an ex racer and holds world records for wheelies. If seem to remember him basically admiting it in an interview a number of years ago.
Yup, that's correct. The fun part about Swedish law is that unless you're specifically caught during a run, with your ass on the bike, they can't really do anything. Which is why Ghostrider couldn't do this in basically any country other than Sweden and maybe Norway (can't fully recall if they have the same laws regarding that).
Correct, he is also a former jail bird. Insurance fraud and motorcycle theft. Not liked by serious racers as he also stole from fellow racers. Hopefully he is a better person now.
ok so he did the paris run when he was 5 years old or what ?🤣
it is widely known that the french ghost rider inspired these guys
the O.G ghost rider deffently also deserves a bit of credit for the myth no matter what a guy from sweden says
the original paris run was done in 1989
@@Hansen710 ok i thought that original run was done by the Black Prince and Ghost rider did a tribute run in later years. The iconic ghost rider videos that most people have seen are Furstenhoff i believe.
My random thoughts:
*As a non bike rider, even to me, the sound of the turbo Hyabusa used in the prior videos, is just incredible. What a sound!
*Being now 2023, the problem is that it is almost impossible to tell if this is real or very high quality CGI
*Ghostrider's identity is effectively known, except that it was never determined in the sense of him being prosecuted for any of his escapades
*I am thinking that his antics were really only feasible in a country with dead-sensible people like Swedes. In other countries, the traffic would have been too erratic, and the drivers too aggressive and vindictive. And in one country, they would be out with 5 choppers and a sniper.
Your random thoughts are mostly those of a kid who spent an hour on CZcams. You know clearly nothing of CGI, or Swedes, or America. Keep drinking that Kool-Aid mate! 5 choppers and a sniper, lol.
Riders do this all across the states. Many nvr out a plate on and run from the police for fun. Those who post it and embarrass the cops gets punished far harder, so many avoid doing it.
It's clearly not CGI. Far to much detail that an artist wouldn't think to put in the video. He also slipped the clutch a couple of times and only a talented rider would even have half a chance at recreating that on CGI. It's not CGI by a long chalk.
Camera man never dies ------>>>> 👍🏻
Ghost Rider is a favorite to watch. He's dusted off so many coppers. Fast is understatement. I was traveling through Utah once and saw a bike blink by me, a minute later a cop was trying to catch him or her pulled up next to me and at that point the bike was a flash and completely out of sight, pretty sure the cop disengaged and just had to turn his lights off. He looked to me for answers through the windows, being myself I minded my own business, I could honestly say that bike was doing around 200mph or faster, and cop had NO chance in the world to catch that bike.
Patrick is still the world's best streetracer..and it is SO great that he is back from his break😊.
But is this him tho, there are a lot of vids missing on this channel....
Yep, it's still same old good Patrick. One of a kind Steering techniques with 299kph into traffic, was his favorite part for over 20 years now.
I have just bought a 2007 Yamaha R1! Looking forward to a fun-filled and Speedy summer!!:) But careful, haven't ridden a bike for 15-17yrs now..😎
What a nostalgia bomb! When this first came out we had just made enough money to buy decent bikes, I bought a GIXER because of this man, took my brain out places it a jar and try to emulate. Now I watch this and think dear god… however I now have 2 boys and a little lady to watch over, how things change! Thank you for this bud
At 180mph/288kph, he's covering about 80m/s. Say the average speed of the traffic on the motorway is 60mph/96kph, he's approaching them at 120mph/196kph, or 53m/s. That means he's past a typical 4m long car in 4/53=0.075secs, approximately. So as long as he manages to pick a line through the traffic that gives him say a minimum of 1m clearance, even if a car did begin to change lanes, he's flashed past it before it has moved over much, at all. But that's the massive skill he has - looking as far ahead as possible and identifyying the right line. Having said that, that moment at 6:10 when the silver estate was moving to the right hand lane - there's no way he could have seen thatas it was hidden by the car he overtook just after the bus/coach, so he was incredibly lucky. I wonder if Ghost Rider has any track racing experience, not that track racing is really anything like this - its comparatively much safer, for a start.
That speed is so fast that nobody has time to even react. From the time they see him in the mirror, just under 2 seconds elapse.
Something I haven't seen in the comments yet: the respect for that motor running at 100% duty cycle and still getting him home, ready for action the next day!
That is the reliability of GSXR bro! 💯
Ghostrider !!! Wow... there's a name from the past. Remember watching all his vids around 2009-2010 when I lived in Gothenburg.
Guy has a deathwish. All it takes is one car to change lanes and hes gonna set world record for fly through the air until his body is stopped by a tree . His remains could be put into a peanut butter jar
I was a street racer back in the late 70’s and took a few risks to enjoy the fullness of my bike. This guy however is just plain nuts, yes he’s got huge balls of steel but definitely a nutter. I’m 64 yrs old now and happy to say I survived my days of racing around the streets with the local law chasing along behind. Hopefully this guy can reach his old age too.
@bikes of rye, why is the footage of GR sped up..? its artificlly making out that his manuvers are better than they are.
In sweden(where he is from and his identity is no longer a secret) the police must identify the driver, not the vehicle to take legal action toward them, so you can drive circle around the police, but if they can not identify that you were the driver, they cant arrest, fine you or confiscate any property because maybe someone borrowed it, maybe someone stole without your knowledge etc....
They did confiscate it tho. Something like 7 years ago. He was real made bjt they had no proof anyway so they had to give it back
Imagine taking the bike out for a ride. The police would be pulling you over every time you took it out 😂
no, no one have ever read the plate at that speed...
@@awbonfanti he drives without paltes i asume
@@lasselarsen5449 better. so no one can have read it and the bike is unrecognizable😄
He most likely has a few bikes for legal rides
in sweden if the police can't see your face they can't show up to your house the next day and arrest you, they have to be able to prove that it was you riding.
That old saying, "Yeah but he won't get there any quicker" , not sure that applies here.🤣
"It only takes one of those cars to swerve last minute. And where's the Ghost Rider going?" - To the morgue. That's truly insane.
Probably the occupants of whatever car he hits at 186mph as well........If he T-Boned a car, he'd go clean through it !!!!! ( well not so clean........a big mess) I'm a biker, a petrolhead all my life. This is rediculous behaviour.
Alongside the occupants of the car he would crash into. This guy is literally playing a video game with other people’s lives and « thumbs up » dude? GTFO
@@b.t4604 nope.....riding like that on the public roads, he belongs in prison.
Well, sort of... or not really. I think you are in much higher risk riding your motorbike safely in the motorway than he is, whether you believe it or not. The rules are there to scare _you_, and stop _you_ from killing yourself. He won't.
And if things do go the wrong way in the motorway, he's gonna be dead, while you'll live to play basketball. Maybe he doesn't wanna play basketball.
@@StupidusMaximusTheFirst it's the risk he is posing to others that is the issue.
As a Swede, I can confirm that the highway he’s driving on is the E4, going northbound, as per my understanding of the area around the highway.
And he went to Uppsala as I recognize that roundabout at the end, along with ikea there as well.
And from my guessing, he started in Stockholm, and ended in Uppsala.
That’s all I can find that is quite familiar to me.
All of you who read this, have a wonderful day.
thats around 72 kilometres that he crossed in less than 7 full minutes
One of the first videos I saw of him was the Uppsala run, nice little tribute! :)
@@mahirkadri9620 not really. that would mean he had a speed of almost 400mph
One of his early videos was of him doing Stockholm to Uppsala - great revisit to that.
So if you have a distance of 72km travled in about 7 min this is the score:
Km/t: 617.14.
Min/km: 0.10.
I can't not be done! ;)
And if you look at 6:51 you can see a link to a website where you can see the uncut version, so this is clearly not the full video ;)
This is literally any guy in Portugal in the 90s who had an SS bike. By the way, if you would love to see that from your car, pass a summer travelling around in Germany, you will see it from time to time.
Couldn't do that over here in the UK - the potholes would kill him.
i was discussing him less than a month ago - he was legend all that time back, i am amazed at how many are not even aware of him..
He is a ghost that just passing by ;)
Aka Patrick Fürstenhoff
good when not many aware of him, it will keep the freak-out meltdown male karenz number to the minimum !
witch one ? one from the swedish crew or the o.g french ghost rider ?
I'll say this guy knows how to handle a bike he goes through some tight places like it's nothing. That being said, he's as stupid as he is a good rider, all it would take is for someone to change lanes unexpectedly or hit the brakes for some reason and he'd be dead. He's going so fast that these other people have no idea he's coming till he's already past them so they could potentially move over a lane and have no clue what they've hit.
not really - because when the adrenalin is running that hard all the car driver in front are operating in slow motion - like being in the matrix, you can see which cars are twitching because the driver is looking in his mirrors - and the car has a split second to move before you are past it - they aren't quick enough to catch you out like that.
What is dangerous is suddenly coming onto a bunch of stationary vehicles - now you have scrub off 150+mph in whatever distance you have left - that's why he always has an escape route planned - left or right. If someone unexpectedly spins in front of him & hits that armco - that could cause him a problem
Only takes 1 driver to decide to move at the wrong time and he's dead.
If someone in another lane almost ran up the rear of the car in front and changed lanes suddenly, it would be all over for this guy......
@@stevesoutar3405 I completely disagree. EVERYTHING he is doing is dangerous. If you are doing 150 and come across stationary vehicles you are nothing but a fookin idiot. Are those people stationary idiots or is the idiot approaching them at 150+ an idiot? Are their lives nothing? In 85% of the video he has no escape route whatsoever - explain to me what the escape route is at 100mph please. I do not believe you have EVER had to brake like your life depended on it at 150+mph or you wouldn't for one second claim you had to 'scrub off speed'. DO NOT DO THIS on public roads. Go to a track day and find out how so fast you are not. Then go club racing and find you are last. If he was genuinely fast he would be racing other riders not dicking about being a complete bellend on public roads. IMO
It's not quite true! At that speed you've to predict most of moves, and in last case scenario millisecond moves with cms from other vehicles its how it's done, it requires thousands of hours and years ride in Traffic! Of course there's always things you can't control... It's always a risk!
I'm 45 years old, I also drive a Suzuki (maybe a little slower :)) and I understand why GhostRider drives so fast. Such a ride clears your mind, allows you not to go crazy and helps you cope with life in this damn world.
It is crazy, 15 years ago, we haven’t so good cams and it was impossible to catch the full craziness on VHS tape from the Ghostrider but this high quality mad ass ride is absolutely…..😳…..I can’t explained it
That was totally nuts.... Absolutely bonkers. You cannot not admire his skills and bravery. I am almost ashamed to say. I totally enjoyed that.
I watched this a few days ago and still absolutely mental but brilliant, people can say what the want but one thing for sure, the sheer control, skill and concentration at these speeds is simply phenomenal that really only TT riders would know.
TT riders wouldn’t have any idea because they don’t have traffic to deal with, this a completely different level.
@@markedmunds1966 I know that but the 3 i mentioned is the same
@@Cupat1 Yes for sure.
As someone who plays a lot of racing games, It's rare to hit the reset button. Only game I really found myself doing that was Dirt Rally.
That speed alone is scary and then add in that traffic which would spell instant death.. has huge guts.. ignoring the complete lack of consideration for any other road user . Insane
Have some of his dvd's,amazed he is alive and entertaining us still! Respect
Just imagine how many more people are driving around with their nose down in their phones compared to before. Also would be interesting to see how a Tesla on autopilot would react to this speeding up from behind.
Tesla would explode
It doesnt seem to react at all at speed especially if you're swerving between other cars and it has no line of sight on you. Not sure if autopilot was on though ..
Problem is teslas appear to not recognize motorbikes

You asked, “What goes through his head?” Answer: live life, taste death.
Ghost Rider is a Swedish national treasure and for having watched his videos in the mid 2000s only for him to go MIA for a decade and then come roaring back with new video drops is an absolute treat!
what if he causes a death doing something he 'loves'?
Normally you wouldn't like because of incentives to do it more often. But this is sooooo un-earthly that you have developed a special sense... a gift!!!
I knew the ghost rider in person. Last spoke 0:50 to him about 9 years ago. He was doing a lot of work on a Subaru and putting time into his family, especially his son who was being mentored into a racing cars.
A lovely chap, troubled by headaches,
I can say this. I raced his son in much newer machinery and got absolutely smashed.
This man is insane and skilled at the same time. I love to ride bikes and ride fast but nothing like that. I almost have an anxiety attack watching but I'm excited at the same time.
ahahah same feeling!
Bro has 9000 lives
Despite how utterly insane this guy is, you cannot take away the fact he possesses such incredible skill, is totally fearless. Astounding he has keep his anonymity for so many years. He has to have history as a highly trained track racer as his level of skill and experience is way up there in a class of his own. You cannot help but admire this guy, he really is there in the top 1% of riders.
Been racing for years...
That took my breath away
I remember watching him many years ago when those came out and now this. Just insane and amazingly talented. Sends shivers up your spine watching him doing some of these passes.
You only feel alive above 160 mph when the road ahead narrows suddenly and you feel like a God 😅
Patrik Fürstenhoff is the ghost rider,well one of them,he made the films with his mates and also came to the uk with the turbo busa to take part in elvington wheelie comp
June 2011 im driving from Wales up to Nottingham on a Sunday afternoon to start the night shift on the powerstation, i had a 2.2 SRI vectra and i was sitting in the outside lane doing 95 mph when im pretty sure this guy, the ghost rider undertook me in the outside lane at easily 120 mph on his back wheel and he continued on his backwheel until he was out of my sight, believe as a driver theres nothing as unnerving as a bike on its back wheel screaming past you in the inside when you have got your windows down, he made me jump that much i near hit the central barrier lol crazy crazy guy and if it wasn't the ghost rider it was someone just as good as him on an all black set up!
I was on the A55 heading towards Holyhead. I was at 70 and a bike went past me like it was going backwards. I estimated his speed over 160mph. I thought "Good on you mate". No one hurt or killed, just a guy having fun.
