I find it funny how many people are afraid to say anything on this forum cuz its the "cool thing" to be responsible and they will get "failed" if they post what they really think.
true that, apparently to most of the people on here, their E-rep on Revscene is ultra important in real life
ppl on RS watch ghost rider videos and threads here : "OMG thats nuts!" "Thats awesome!" "that guys crazy!" "mad skills" "this guy is GOD" etc.
ppl on RS watch local dude do same shit : "OMG CALL THE COPS! SO IRRESPONSIBLE!" "WHAT A RETARD!" etc.
The hell...its one thing to be stupid and go that fast...then its even more stupid to do it in broad daylight..then its even dumber to weave between cars..do less people value their own life???
(I double posted my bad how can i delete this one)
I love how they pass a cop with lights on and nothing happens. Are they allowed to abandon an incident (say a HOV lane offence) to pursue another more dangerous activity? Or do they have to finish the first incident before pursuing another?
Saanich police believe they have seized the motorcycle that was at the centre of a storm of public outrage after an internet video showed its being driven at extremely high speed on the Trans Canada Highway.
Police say it was a tip from a member of the public that led them to the suspect bike....a blue Yamaha. They say it bears scratches and other marks that match those visible in the video.
The motorcycle's owner is an Esquimalt woman...but police do not believe she was the offending driver. Suspicion at the moment is focussed on her son, who had already amassed a significant record of traffic offenses.

You Tube motorcycle seized, but no charges against driver
April 19th, 2012
Saanich Police have seized a motorcycle seen in a You Tube video blasting down the Trans Canada Highway at nearly 300 km/h.
The video is shot from a motorcyclist’s perspective as he weaves through rush hour traffic in Saanich.
Now, that bike – a blue Yamaha R1 – is in police possession.
Police think the incident took place on April 6. Shortly after that, a public tip identified the bike and its location in the 800 block of Admirals Road, Esquimalt.
Officers found and photographed the bike. They then forensically matched it to the bike in the You Tube video by comparing scratches and other marks.
Police may have the bike. But, charging the rider is a different story.
"The registered owner of this particular bike is the mother of the person that we believe, allegedly, was driving," says Sergeant Dean Jantzen. "Unfortunately, at this point we are unable to meet the burden to proceed with criminal code charges. However, we have relied upon specific provisions in the motor vehicle act to take action against the registered owner of this vehicle."
Sergeant Jantzen says, even though the owner wasn't driving, she is ultimately responsible and faces the following penalties:
•A violation ticket, charged with driving without due care and attention - $368 penalty.
•Excessive speeding - $483 penalty.
•No insurance - $598 penalty.
•That totals $1,449 in penalties.
Police are also looking to impound the vehicle and possibly seizing in permanently using civil forfeiture procedures.
Police suspect the rider in the video is a 25 year old local man with only a class 8 license, which requires supervision. That driver has 27 driving infractions to his name and 5 previous license suspension. But, at this time, the alleged speeder does not face any criminal charges.
Ghostrider, Getaway in Stockholm, Superspeeders...
I could go on. Have any of those guys ever been caught? Hell the Superspeeders guys released a video of them actually outrunning the cops.
Even going back to the days of Smokey Yagata (or whatever his name in) in the Best Motoring videos, where there's footage of him ripping over 200mph and the Japanese police gave up the chase.
This is nothing new, and has been going on since the first hot rodder met up with his buddy with a video camera probably way back in the 70's.
The 25-year-old suspected motorcyclist has no valid driver's licence and no insurance as a result of 27 driving-related convictions including speeding and driving without insurance, Jantzen said. He has had his licence suspended five times.
The driver also only had a learner's motorcycle licence, which was also suspended.

This guy isn't some sort of anti-hero, he's a fucking moron. If he'd hurt or killed someone, he and his mother could have been sued for millions. If the other person was from out-of-province (ie. not covered by ICBC) there may be no coverage for them at all - some douchebag third-party insurance company could decide not to cover them at all.

Not trolling, and I have no experience with motorcycles.
Apart from balls, does it require a lot of skill to ride like that?

I remember reading in The Province yesterday saying at that speed, if he hit a car, he could've possibly cut through it. If true, what he did really was selfish and wreckless to others.
What he did really was selfish and wreckless to others.
Exactly.
There's a huge difference in risk and potential disaster between just going fast, and weaving arount/through traffic.
I'm not going to say that in my years of driving I've always been a saint, but I always drew the line at weaving through traffic & rat racing.
It really pisses me off that his Mother is not cooperating with the police and taking the fall. She must really love her kid. If my kid did that, I'd give him up in an instant, it would teach him a good hard lesson.
I know that this incident happened on the Island, but it is sort of another example on why people need an outlet (Racetrack) to take care of their speed needs. I am not saying just because a couple race tracks were built people would stop spending in public. More and more people are getting faster cars/bikes in the lower mainland (I assume also on the island) with no real race track to use and test the speed their cars are capable of.
List of race tracks that I know of (that are close)
Lower Mainland - NONE
Fraser Valley - Mission, Aggasiz
Island - Saratoga (Nanaimo, Western Speedway (Victoria)
Mission the only one with a decent road course.
Dream note*
I always dream of some mountain circuit in the north shore mountains. The straight away being at sea level with the course climbing and descending the mountain side with trees over hanging the track in some parts. Maybe it has a tunnel at some point. Having F1, GT class, Bike races, hot lap events, drifting etc etc. You could also do it in a green, and economical way. You would need the government, public, and someone with a ALOT of cash to get it done though. Im in school to be a real estate developer so maybe one day I could make it happen. Don't hold you breathe though.
