seems kinda dumb, traffic isn't that bad, and he could have taken the hard shoulder most of the way if "time" was his biggest concern. He just wants to show off, and be seen. Biker on a sport bike.

How is that guy still alive? 180 mph through traffic seems a little risky to me.

not to say I've never done anything stupid on my bike for an adrenaline rush...but I don't make videos of my stupid actions and post them on youtube.

last I read, 'Ghost Rider' retired and outed himself.

The problem is that 99% of the people in his videos don't speak English. There was a rumor going around that he was arrested while being interviewed by some news network.

I've actually seen a video where the cops come up and 'arrest' him while he's being interviewed.

someone who actually spoke the language (or claimed to) said he was never arrested - the cops just asked him for insurance and registration information on the bikes. When he didn't have it, they impounded the bikes he was sitting on (on a public street), but the cops were talking about how cool the bikes were mostly. Apparently the country he was in hadn't been made famous by one of his videos.

Anyway, it came out that the guy is just a rich hooligan having fun by putting other people's lives at risk. His car and bike collection is enviable though...

Copied from a post on another forum from a few months ago:

His name is Patrick Furstenhoff. He is about 40 years old, has a wife and two kids and works in a Subaru Dealership.

He was actually a motorcross and stunt rider, liked the sportsbikes but left it too late in life to try and go pro.

He is no longer hiding his identity. The Police Know who he is, so he says there is no point anymore.

He has actually never been arrested and charged for it. 'Police have no firm evidence it's him on the bike in the movies'.

The first Ghost Rider movie was an 'up yours' to all the car nuts who were raving about a movie called "The Getaway".

Patrik and friends saw how staged it was and decided to do it on the bike but for real. So Ghost Rider was born.

The first GR movie was to be the only movie made. From it's release it's popularity grew and he was offered

stupid amounts of money from a film company to make another.....so it continued.

What people don't know is that;

1. He had spotters up the freeway to signal to him what is going on with the traffic and to inform of unexpected dangers.

2. Practice runs are first done to learn the road.

3. Practice runs are done to test different tyres and see what will hold up.

4. Practice, practice, practice.

He also holds the world record for the highest speed up on the back wheel - 347km/h

That was done on a naked black turbo Hayabusa. - Possibly repainted his green one.

His green turbo Hayabusa has a top speed of 430km/h and has 500hp.

His main black GSXR1000 is a full carbon fibre job - He has multiple Suzuki's.
