If that rider is a courier for the NHS delivering vital life saving organs or something like that fair enough, otherwise it's no wonder we get bad press

It's abroad somewhere (France?) as:- a) it's right hand side driving for the cars and b) I noticed a few helmetless heads on the other bikers/scooters.

Just bl%dy crazy though. I sat and watched it while squeezing my shoulderblades together as he/she squeezed through gaps without touching the cars etc

Thats the black prince, he died on the second attempt. It was a record to do a lap of the paris ringroad during rush hour in under 11mins!

Later attempted again (at night) by GR (Ghostrider)

I nearly said, I thought that guy had a death wish

The black prince eh? Any idea how far off his 11 minute record attempt he was the first time around the 'periphique' (SP) ?

I assume then that someone, somewhere has seen his demise on the running video camera fitted to the bike. Aaagggghhh. Not nice.

Have heard of these Ghost Rider things. Anyone seen one?
Time for a look on fleabay I suppose!!!

I was going to say that this guy's going to die real soon...................

Couldn't help swaying in the chair and gritting my teeth when watching it. Brilliant watching

Think Kaz hit the nail on the head .... Just how did he get through those gaps !!

Some quality bike control though, stupid but impressive at the same time !

There's some real dodgy stuff here as in Aaagghh. America of course.

In the right place yes but...........................

your quite right timbo:

< the black prince, this isnt the full video but yes he does the entire ring road in 11 minutes!

GR does beat him HOWEVER he rides at night in much lighter traffic with a full planned route. The Black Prince was your true city rider, GR is sim
ply a good stunt rider!

GR is much better know for his cop chasing antics. Typical GR is to pull up in the police station car park, do a burnout and get involved in a 25mile chase round a sweedish city promptly filmed by sceret film crew from a variety of angles.

Theres been lap attempts on the M25 although ive never seen it in person before! I have seen people race for slips thou, that was ....er.. intresting!
