176mph motorcyclist posts video on internet

Police are investigating a video posted on the internet that appears to show a motorcyclist travelling at 176mph.

The footage shows the rider racing another bike on the A628 Woodhead Pass in South Yorkshire, in wet conditions and poor light.



If caught, the biker could become the fastest motorist to be prosecuted in Britain.

A police spokesman said: "We will do everything we can to identify these riders."
