Canadian police are searching for 25-year-old Randy George Scott who was the driver of a Yamaha sport bike with a video camera mounted behind the windshield.

His mother the owner of the motorcycle, reportedly has been issued nearly $1,500 in traffic tickets in connection with the incident. So if you see Randy send him home his mother needs to chat with him.

Take a look at the video after the jump. Please don't try this at home.

Keep your eye on the left side of the screen.

The main problem that we experienced was power outages and lines down.  This may have caused some powerless traffic lights, but there were not nearly as many accidents as there were last Wednesday.

I have been driving an average of about 25,000 per year for the last 15 years, I say no way. I have no clue as to how much the tax would be, I just know it would be a little to costly. Read more of the story after the jump.
