This is the worst one I've ever seen of the many "look at me speeding videos" out there....

Very luck pilot in my opinion.

Wonder if it was the rider himself who put the video on YT or if someone else did it? If it was the rider, the jail term was merited on the grounds of stupidity IMO.

I still dont understand how they can jail you over a video posted on youtube....there is nothing to disprove the possibility that the speedo has been adjusted to over-read, or that the footage has been altered/sped up. Surely stronger evidence is needed like an admission of guilt ?

Edit; Ah dangerous driving.....now thats different. He wasnt jailed for the speed.

He must have admitted his guilt, how would they know who the rider was? The bike might have been going at 150 mph, it didn't show the rider. Now the story says someone complained and the cops followed it all up, very strange indeed. Then they confiscated the bike, jeez I didn't know they could take private property from you. The prison sentence was suspended for two years, so he didn't go to jail and has to do community service instead. Very, very strange indeed. I didn't bother to watch all of the other video's the Russian one was just boring as his front wheel was in the air most of the time, makes for boring viewing.

You can easily work out speed from a video. Editing also easily proved by experts. Guy is a brat. They didn't say whether they crushed the bike or not. Should have made him push the crusher button.
