Carleton University officials are furious and police are curious about a YouTube video showing a young man riding a motorcycle at speeds of up to 80 km/h through the university’s pedestrian tunnels.

The roughly seven-minute video was posted Sunday by YouTube user “Logan M,” replete with spelling mistakes: “Underground Carelton U tunnels, I rode them, it was loud, and slippery.” The yellow motorcycle in the video is identified as a Suzuki DR-Z400, a trail bike with a top speed of about 150 km/h.

The Logan M YouTube page and many others linked to the username “The Original Uberfetus” are identified with Logan Murphy, a former Canadian Army reservist from Port Hope, Ont.

Murphy responded to the Citizen’s queries late Monday. “I actually posted it for a friend,” he wrote.

“I cannot comment on whether or not it was me actually riding that motorcycle in the video. It could have been anyone.”

The tunnel-racing video has attracted considerable attention, with commentators lining up to both condemn and applaud.
