They're doing him for dangerous driving, not speeding. In which case, they probably have every right.

thats the impression I got, I have heard about it a number of times, as digital images can be easilly tampered with! I may well be wrong, but I am sure I have heard it many times!

It is admissable. ANYTHING is admissable in court if the court admits it, and digital evidence is common in court. Whether it will hold up and bring about a conviction is an entirely different issue.

Heres the video: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/li...rticle_id=436541&in_page_id=1770&in_a_source=
I guess it's been edited and if those are the worse bits then I think pretty much every biker should be locked away FOREVER. Hardly Ghostrider, hardly that dangerous.

Hope they don't catch onto mine, I and everyone else in it is at LEAST doing 200mph 
It sounds like they're getting at him because it was innappropiate use of speed...which is more than fair enough. Even so, it sounds like he's a berk that needs the book throwing at him

Watch that video on the daily mail page. It's very hard to see, but I don't think he got above 81, and that was for a short snort on an empty bit of open road. At a couple of points it cuts away because he pulls up behind a car at a gingerly pace and doesn't overtake it, and when it cuts back he's still behind. He also pootles around a roundabout. When he does overtake, he doesn't do any death dives, it's all fairly controlled, not a Ghostrider by any means. I'm only guessing that there's far worse in the full length footage, but I doubt it as it's a tabloid edit.
I'm a cautious rider and the only thing I don't do in that video is spin it up and dump the clutch to pop little wheelies (mine last over a mile!!! Mwwahahahha!). EVERY biker does what's in that video. My mate would be locked away for life if he posted his vids on YouTube.

Haha thats not dangerous by any stretch of the imagination.
I mean he got behind the berlingo van,and was still behind it when it cuts to the next bit. The guy can outbrake most stuff on the road and can get to fast speeds much quicker,i see no problem.
I do have a problem with the people around here who drive with no license/insurance/tax. I know of at least two people who have no license and drive,i know a lot of people who drug drive.

Apart from the wheely part, I can imagine some of those overtakes being in a 'how to do it' video':
- make sure you've always got an escape route
- get up to speed before you pull out
- make sure you've got a good sight line
- get back in with plenty to spare just in case
One of the overtakes isn't perfect, he uses the red ghost island as a car is going past to start his overtake a bit early, but I'd do the same. No overtaking on corners, no playing chicken with cars, no forcing back in at the last moment.
