Great chase video

The web site below has a link to one of the greatest chase vids I've ever seen. Some guy in Europe who calls himself 'Ghost Rider' is in a Beemer Z3 Coupe. He does a donut in front of the local cop shop and then flips them off to get them to chase him. The video is from the cop's bike camera. It's really long. The guy, Ghost Rider, is apparently a prof. race driver and never does get caught. Some great bike riding here too...

Look on the top of the page for the story on Ghost Rider, then click on "mash here" to bring up the video. Way cool

Errr...you got it backwards. It's more complicated than that.

"Ghost Rider" rides a counterfeit Cop bike (Swedish cops ride BMW's, not Gixxers). He happened to run into Z3 guy while fooling around trying to film something outrageous.

Z3 guy believed he was a real cop and tried to run.

Ghost Rider is much much hairier than Getaway Stockholm

Nice driving though...

Goran,
Thanks for the clarification. I heard about this on the radio this AM and the guy told the story like I did up top. Still some great driving...!!

Spent some time in Sweden back in the 70's with a gal in Goteborg. Like the town..not the winter weather and darkness ;-) We usually headed off to Spain for a few weeks.

I don't believe Ghost Rider "just happened" onto Z3-Guy and that Z3-Guy "just happened" to run. I base that belief all on the footage taken from the side of the road while these two went drifting by.

Its totally staged. Look at the cameras rolling from the sides of the road. Also you have at least two different camera angles from the bike. It also may have been shot on different days. Sometimes its cloudy and others its clear.

and another thing. In Europe I bet the police have radios there too. And as my good friend Stephan said "you may outrun a cop but you cannot outrun the radio".
