Can somone tell me why Whitham wasn't jailed for the same reasons as above. He's wheelying and breaking nthe speed limits up to 150+ Video evidence is video evidence.

Or am I missing something?

Cool vid though

Its an old vid. Besides, he may have got some sort of permission from somebody or another as it was a promotional vid. Surely if films and TV series do it why not this?..must be a reason for it, i'm sure they didn't just say...ah lets go doing wheelies in rush hour up the m62...cause if you notice its empty, which is rare.

Watched this video loads of times already. It's still brilliant.

Most of the video was faked.

The onboard shots were speeded up and speedo put in KPH (great example at 2.03)
The shots of the pillion with his face getting pulled off were probably done with the bike on a trailer and some cleaver acting.
The riding across water, bush and on dirt were done by a stunt rider.
The shots like the one at 1:26 you can tell were done at a slow speed.
And the shots of him going past the camera on the front or back wheel only were no doubt done on a closed road.

thats gavin lover, i really enojyed that vid

my fav part was the off-road bit and going through the stream

Oh don't get me wrong, when it come round the first time I had a giggle. I just thought people should be informed to avoid any unnecessary rantings.
