Shocking GoPro footage has captured motorbike hoons risking their own lives and other motorists while allegedly filming themselves travelling at high speeds at up to 200km/h.
Three riders have been charged over the alleged joyride along a winding road in the Sunshine Coast hinterland which was allegedly filmed and shared on social media last month.
Police allege the joyride began in Peachester, where a 45-year-old man set up a GoPro on his Yamaha motorbike to film his journey with two mates.
The footage shows the man travelling in excess of 140km/h while overtaking vehicles and at one point clocks 200km/h as he begins the climb into the hinterland.
The rider also narrowly misses hitting a huge pothole at speeds of 105km/h as a oncoming car towing a caravan travels in the opposite direction.

The road winds in various locations and was also being used by several other vehicles at the time, including a large truck.
The man is captured speeding through Bellthorpe and allegedly crossing the double lines of a narrow road more than 22 times, according to police.
The vision was later posted on social media and went viral, attracting the interest of the Sunshine Coast highway patrol unit.
