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 speedo as the bike exceeds 200km/h in a 60km/h zone.

Hahaha another silly bugger getting caught out.

It's even more funny when we can see the footage ourselves:

What an idiot.

Marduk · 30-12-2008, 08:37 PM

He's an absolute moron. Not a very smart person showed by the fact he posted his exploits on youtube for everyone (including the police) to see.

Elks · 30-12-2008, 09:10 PM

Dumb a$$

However, did you notice the number plate was pixilated?

The Police must have traced this back via YouTube and the ISP. So watch out any would be you tubers.

phoenix99 · 30-12-2008, 09:18 PM

man wish I was there so I could open my car door as he went past!!

I can't see YouTube or any ISP freely giving that information out over what is typically a minor offence.

How did the coppers know it was him?

He's got a myspace account under the same name, with a nice clear photo of the bike and number plate. Idiocy at it's finest.

Dunno if this has happened before, but they courts have just set a major precedent.

Big brother at it's finest.

Its not the first time that comment and I have crossed paths on this Forum.
As a bike rider it sends shivers down my spine.

He is probably the same sort of person who thinks us riders lane splitting to the lights is dangerous as well.

actually I am a rider as well, and I wouldn't take offense to my comment (if someone else said it) purely because no sane person would actually be stupid enough to open a door in front of a rider

it was a joke relating to people like that ( as in the biker who got caught) give riders a bad name for their stupid behavior that gets publicized.

Someone actually did open their door in front of me (typical moron who doesn't look out for motorcycles

: ) when I was riding past them a couple of weeks ago. They probably wondered why I swerved and beeped. Lucky I was only doing 60kph at the time.

Back on topic though - The fact that the guy posted the video on YouTube in the first place is the dumbest thing. We have all done stupid things on our bikes. Making the video is one thing but doing so and posting it where it is clearly visable to everyone is complete and utter stupidity.

Redrum · 31-12-2008, 12:19 AM

Well done to the informant in this matter.

Daymoe · 30-12-2008, 10:58 PM

At least we know Bubba will be singing the song "Sexual Healing" by Marvin Gaye because of the fresh meat about to land square in the grinder.

Deech · 30-12-2008, 11:08 PM

I was stumbling through the other articles linked in toolbars on the page:
http://news.ninemsn.com.au/world/704...s-kills-mother

This one left me truly speechless.

Does anyone hold any regard for anyone else's life anymore?

Mark s · 30-12-2008, 11:10 PM

Another try hard, I guess like the same idiots that do 200 + on the freeways in cars and weave in and out of traffic.

Snappy and Peuty cant help but agree with your comments, It scares me to think that people can joke about such things. There are enough idiots on the roads on bikes along with cars without comments like these.

snappy · 30-12-2008, 11:37 PM

Well brains are compulsary but unfortunately using them is not.
Has to be said nice bike though.

It'll be going nice and cheap at the next police auction lol

Scott · 30-12-2008, 11:39 PM

Slow & boring. If you're gonna post yourself speeding, surely you'd make it worthwhile. What a flog.

Marduk · 30-12-2008, 11:41 PM

What a moron he even posted shots off the video.

MrRhino · 30-12-2008, 11:45 PM

hahahaha he even has pic of his fully crap corolla doing the hectic skids too

**ebxr8240** · 31-12-2008, 01:43 AM

Could he claim that he photoshopped the vid??

axeray · 31-12-2008, 05:55 AM

I believe there are techniques the police can use to determine whether the vid has been doctored or not.

As long as he hasn't made admissions he can beat the charges. Look at the "evidence"
Unedited footage
edited footage
a bike the same as in the footage

What they don't have is a way to link him to the riding. Footage alone is not enough to convict anyone of an offence.

I believe that when they searched his house they found unedited footage on his camera and computer, so combined with everything else I'd say the evidence was overwhelming.

The more losers like this that get locked up the better and off our roads. In Perth about 2 years ago some dropkick was doing a mono at night for several hundred metres and someone pulled out in front of him, another dead stupid biker. Why? because his headlight was in the air and the driver that pulled out couldn't see him.
Don't bag me about bikers I used to ride for a long time but gave it away because it was too dangerous and I found myself doing silly things but nothing like this, and having kids always make yopu think twice
