Police on Vancouver Island say they’re closing in on a rogue motorcyclist who posted a YouTube video of himself racing down a highway at nearly 300 kilometres an hour.

The video, which has been watched more than 100-thousand times since it was posted two weeks ago, shows the biker weaving in and out of traffic on the busy highway.

Sergeant Dean Jantzen of Saanich police says an investigator has tracked down the electronic address of the computer used to post the video.

He says that could lead to a search warrant and eventually charges if the driver can be identified.
