    Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.
    It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.

    Nice to see him throttling back to 200kmh when filtering through traffic.

    Safety first!

    The caption says that all riders are professionals and that all rides have been done in a controlled environment. i.e. "Ghost Rider" is a commercial brand which is maintained by a team of professionals (riders, mechanics, film makers, accountants etc) and has professional (i.e. stringently controlled for safety) set ups. But yeah, the guys' riding ability is very impressive.

    It says that at the start of Jackass too, I think they may be tricking.

    That will just be there to keep the legal dept happy. The dude who has been named as Ghost Rider has never outright said he is either as that would be dumb, in an incriminating way.

    It is quite obvious what "Ghost Rider" is.

    Its not that easy to stage traffic for 60 ks, even by professionals.

    I do wonder if he has a optimistic speedo though. Doesnt seem that quick. Looks like a normal morning on the South Western motorway.

    Yeah I thought so too

    Good point though. I quite often hire out State Highway one for a small fee and throw a couple of odd thousand mates on the road for an amature looking film of me hooning past on my Raleigh 20.

    Don't you just hate it if one of your mates forgets the script?
