Police track 100mph urban joyrider
Police track 100mph urban joyrider | The Register
The film shows a Yamaha R1 superbike driving through traffic, squeezing between two cars driving in opposite directions and returning to Parrott's home address. The video does not show the driver, and Parrott has not admitted being the driver.
The camera was mounted so that it recorded the driver's-eye view of the road as well as the speedometer. Not only did the motorcycle begin and end its journey at Parrott's home address, it shows a vehicle number plate in the drive way, which may have helped police trace Parrott.

I couldn't see the speedo on that small version here, revs didnt seem that high tho. I've seen worse driving I must say.

I agree that he's doing things he shouldn't have been. Does it warrant all the time and effort that must have gone in to tracking him down? Maybe the resources have been better spent. Nice bike tho

i don;t think he's really done anything that wrong. He was riding like a bit of an idiot at times but he didn't really do anything that bad at all. (his wheelieing attempt was rubbish though!) He's not lying as such just trying to give himself a defence as he doesn't want to loose his licence which is understanderble. I can't believe he posted the video or allowed the video to be posted showing any details that linked it to him personally, that was asking for trouble.
I'm pretty sure he's already learned his lesson from the treatment he's recieved since the event!

The only thing he's guilty of is shoddy editing.

He needs a good producer [not the police type!]. Wasnt one shot of the clouds 
- he couldnt pull the skin off a rice pudding, let a lone a wheelie
.
Hysterical over-reaction - guy needs a few points and a few brain cells! Suggest the authorities need to see Ghostrider - getting their nickers in a twist would be very justified for that!!!

What a plum for publishing it on Youtube without making any effort to cover himself.
Police had no choice but to track him down after several complaints but if that vid on MCN is all they've got I can see how they would manage to secure a conviction in court?
