Ghost Rider is from Sweden and does his riding in the Netherlands and across other countries in Europe.
He is thought to be Patrik Furstenhoff, a Swedish ex-racer. He is listed in the Guinness World Records as holding the record for the first documented 200 mph wheelie on a 500 hp Turbocharged Suzuki Hayabusa. Also holds records in timed runs in France and the Netherlands.
As to why he does it, who can say. I think he likes to play with the authorities and he's an adrenalin junkie. Most of the roads he rides seem to be better dedicated to his kind of speed, and the cage drivers on the road seem to stay mostly in the correct lane, Not all over the place as most do in this country.
I don't agree Sam. If he was riding above his agility and was being totally out of control aggressive, maybe so, but he doesn't appear to ride that way. If it is true that he is an ex-racer then I get it and it makes sense. There is a high that is achieved when in the middle of a race and you're putting it all on the line. Perhaps the high he got from that cannot equal the high he found by being Ghost Rider. It is what it is and I'm not going to try and analysis his thought process. Although I am sure there will be others that will claim to know his motivation exactly. Grin....
