Police said Guruardas Singh Khalsa filmed himself and some 50 other
riders popping wheelies and standing on their bike seats at speeds
upwards of 70 mph (113 kph) on the San Francisco Bay Area freeway on
Oct. 11.
The video has gone viral on YouTube, attracting more than 1.5
million views by late on Thursday, and has been broadcast by local
media.
At one point in the clip, a California Highway Patrol officer
attempts to slow the riders down to pull them over. The cameraman
can then be seen shooing the officer away and waving goodbye.
Khalsa, 32, of Brentwood, was taken into custody on Wednesday and
charged with suspicion of being an accessory after the fact and
obstructing or delaying a police officer, CHP said.
Though none of the suspects were arrested at the scene, police said
they expected there would be additional arrests.
