Speeding B.C. motorcyclist records highway hijinx
The RCMP on Vancouver Island are hoping to track down a motorcyclist who made a video recording of himself travelling at extremely high speed just outside of Victoria.
This video has shocked even veteran traffic officers.
The driver could be seen passing, weaving between other vehicles and driving along the centre line on the road.
At one point, the motorcycle was travelling at close to 300 km/h.
Investigators say it's lucky no one was killed.
The video was posted to YouTube a week ago and now Saanich police are looking for the driver.
Anyone with information is asked to contact them.

Unlicensed motorcyclist identified as 300 km/h rider
Police on Vancouver Island say they have tracked down an unlicensed and uninsured motorcyclist who posted a YouTube video of a terrifying high-speed run along a busy section of the Trans-Canada Highway.
The rider in the video is believed to be a 25-year-old male with 25 previous infractions, Saanich police revealed Thursday morning. The registered owner of the bike is believed to be his mother, but the bike is not insured, they said.
Police say the bike has been seized but charges have not yet been laid. They are waiting to speak with the alleged rider, but he is not co-operating with police and did not show up for for a meeting on Wednesday.
In the video, the motorcycle rockets past vehicles with the speedometer indicating close to 300 km/h, passing along the centre line, shocking even veteran traffic officers and professional motorcycle riders who have seen it.
On Wednesday, police said they had identified the IP address and the internet service provider used to post the anonymous video on YouTube, and had several tips from the public on the identity of the rider.
On Thursday, police displayed the bike they had seized — a blue Yamaha R1 — and are asking anyone who may have witnessed the high-speed ride to contact them.
The investigators determined the video was recorded on the Trans-Canada Highway, starting just north of McKenzie Ave and ending at the Millstream Road exit. Investigators believe it occurred sometime prior to April 7, when the video was posted.
