Ghost R!der

Y'day I got a link from apache orkut community about ghost rider. I thought its about 
cage's movie but it was bit more staggering. Ghost Rider is the name of a motorcycle stunt rider Patrik Furstenhoff, based in Stockholm, Sweden. He stars in a number of motorcycle movies comprising of journeys through uncontrolled and unstaged roads and highways at illegal speeds. One of the most notorious of these journeys is the "Uppsala Run" in Ghost Rider: The Final Ride, 2002. This trip covers approximately 70 kilometers of continuous travel from Stockholm to Uppsala in 14 minutes 55 seconds (this equates to an average speed of 276 km/h (168 mph) over the period) on public highways.

The videos can be described as a continuous traffic violation, with excessive speeds and improper passing being most prominent. Other incidents include weaving through highway traffic at 180 mph (300 km/h), evading police pursuits and resisting arrests. Another recurring theme in the Ghost Rider videos is the harassment of police officers, who seemingly display little hope of catching the protagonist.

Check out this video; dont forget to close ur mouth :D
