A MOTORCYCLIST is facing serious charges after allegedly filming himself speeding through Canberra's streets before posting the footage on the internet.

The 20-year-old man will face court after police used the videos, posted on YouTube, to track him down.

In the videos, the camera is aimed at the motorcycle's speedometer as the bike exceeds 200km/h in a 60km/h zone.

The videos also show the rider committing other serious traffic offences.

On Monday, police executed a search warrant at a house in Kingston where they seized unedited footage of the incident, a video camera, a laptop and a hard drive.

Today, they found the bike at a house in Kambah.

The man was later interviewed by police and will face ACT Magistrates Court at a later date.

Fair enough; film yourself commiting a crime, posting it on the internet and expecting there to be no consquences?

Pretty much 'Darwin award' behaviour.
