Wearing a black leather suit, black helmet and dark visor, and riding a black motorcycle (usually a Suzuki GSX-R1000 or Hayabusa), he is the main character in several movies showing his real-life motorcycle stunts performed on public roads at high speeds and with complete blatant disrespect for the police, the law and his own as well as others safety, usually in Stockholm and nearby locations, but also in other places in Europe.
Several movies by Ghost Rider have been released on DVD. <sup><small>[7]</small></sup> Brief episodes are available for download on the Internet.
