the crashes on tape are unrelated crashes in germany from other riders...

My grasp of German is non existant tbh but i think its more a news report on the influence Ghostrider has on other riders , mainly his imitators and the crash scene was'nt Ghostrider as far as I can gather , Just some poor sod who had probably seen the video,s and tried to emulate him with the inevatable result

Nope, wasn't the ghost rider in the crashes. The clip said he's an idol to many and his cat and mouse chase with the police continues.....

BTW, the term Geistfahrers (ghost riders) usually refers to cars travelling the wrong way on the Autobahns, happens on a daily basis in Germany

Can get the wife to do a translation, however personaly i think Ghost rider even though he is an icon of sorts is a dick head, no wonder more and more restrictions are put on bike riders, with guys like this who influence the younger riders to emulate his anticts no wonder death tolls increase, Ghost rider is a liablity to himself and to other road users, i wonder how many will idolise him when he losses it say into a group of school children, will he still have the same idol following then ?

If he rode on the track where there was no danger to public it would be a different matter but im sorry, anyone who idolises him or trys to emulate him is as brain dead as he is.

Never heard of him, and judging by the antics in the video, never want to.

And people wonder why we (as bikers in general) get a bad name?
