Quick read of the comments seems to suggest rider is deceased. died on his bike. No surprise really.

This is NOT the Uppsala run as it states - its a mish mash of various rides. Still pretty awesome though.

Yes you are right actually. I was having a look through the video and it isn't the Uppsala run. The link I had for Uppsala run says that the video has been removed so I searched and assumed this would be one.

Its still a good example of what the Ghost Rider vids are all about. I know the Uppsala run well as when I first saw it I had never seen anything like it and watched it over and over. Plus I really liked the song in the last half.

Just thought I would share a little story. Mate (very experienced dare devil) was at 300kph when a VW Combie backed across the road and his bike and body went right through that very same VW Combie. The fire brigade washed his body off the road.the birds later fed on the bits the brigade missed. Slow down guys. Please

Yeah I remember watching it over and over again as well. If you watched the video uploaded by the same user that I used to watch, then the song would have been Their Law by Prodigy.

The (original) Uppsala run has a song called Silver Streak by Swedish band Revolvo. man it took me a long time to find out the name of that song too. There is an album I got off a, er, Swedish created site with the Ghost Rider music on it but it is only all the techno type stuff and all sounds the same.
@singing1 - that is what was so fascinating about these vids for me (and others I suspect), is that its so insane it made me feel a bit sick when I first saw it. I have no intention of EVER riding a bike at anywhere near 299kph let alone on public roads! It would make one hell of a mess all right.

dunno about crazy, that was all pretty slow traffic
maintaining the Ton in wellington rush hour is my standard of crazy. of the guys i used to ride with, only one ended up pulping himself (& he did do a proper job of it)

Blackbirds were the fastest in there day but quickly put torest by the hayabusa for being the fastest proddy bike. Dont know if taking mirrors would make a blackbird do 300kph or not let alone over it.

"Speed governing" meaning that the speedo gets to 299km/h and doesn't go any higher but the bike still picks up speed!

Incorrect. MV Agusta 312R, Ducati D16RR, BMW S1000RR. All of the late model 1000cc sport bikes are capable of more than 300km/h, not too much more as they do have brute power (most have more than a 'Busa now) but crap aero dynamics.
That's about it though, 'tis not the only one to have done it.
