Biker jailed after filming himself riding at 189mph

A motorcyclist who filmed himself doing wheelies and riding at 189mph (304km/ph) has been jailed for 21 months. Adam Campion, 26, pleaded guilty to five counts of dangerous driving at Nottingham Crown Court. When police raided his home in Hucknall, Nottinghamshire, they found hundreds of videos and images of motorcycles being ridden dangerously, including one video that showed Campion driving one-handed and filming his speed with his mobile phone.

While motorcycle accidents are way too common, I am rather surprised that this clown survived all this time taking video while driving nearly 200 MPH! Good enough for an HM...! Thanks Scott!
