British Columbia police ID biker who posted video of 186-mph ride

CNN) -- Police in British Columbia have filed charges against a motorcyclist who allegedly videotaped himself reaching speeds of at least 186 mph on a busy Canadian highway.
Through tips from the public, the Saanich Police Department, on Vancouver Island, identified the rider as 25-year-old Randy George Scott of Victoria.
Scott is still on the lam, police said, and they still are trying to track him down.
The online video of the harrowing ride has been viewed nearly a million times.
"We have a dedicated group of traffic safety officers and that is a very dramatic example of some obviously dangerous driving," Sgt. Dean Jantzen told CNN.
The video shows a motorcyclist reaching an apparent top speed of 299 kilometers per hour (186 mph) weaving between cars, but authorities think his actual speed may have been even faster.
You can hear him accelerating even when it says 299 kilometers per hour," Jantzen said.

The posted speed limit is 50 mph.

The incident took place on April 6 on a busy stretch of the Trans-Canada highway.

Jantzen said motorcyclists traveling at dangerously excessive speeds are not typical in that part of Saanich, which is more urban.

Saanich police say if convicted on the current charges, he could be sentenced up to five years in jail.

Scott, who police say has had prior run-ins with the law, has been added to Saanich Police Department's "Most Wanted" fugitive list, and police are advising him to turn himself in.

holy death wish

He's not arrested just yet. They still haven't found him, even though they supposedly know who he is.

Jesus - all it would take is one person changing lanes thinking it was all clear and this guy would have been a smear on the freaking pavement... Probably would have taken someone else out with him.

186 my ass.

Homeboy must be running a 50+ tooth rear sprocket.

It didn't look that fast to me either, possibly in the 140-150 range

this site is saying kid already has 25 tickets already

Well just 1 second into the video I already knew it was a 2005/2006 R1. It couldn't have been that hard to figure out who it was if you had access to BMV records, Youtube registration information, and public witnessess....

*ninja edit* :lol:

Just saw a local kid on a ZX-6R blowing between cars on the double-yellow on tuesday, wearing nothing but a helmet, shorts, t-shirt and sneakers. Easily going 70 or so in a 35.

Exactly what I was thinking. At 300, the lines on the road should be a blur. Not easily distinguishable.
