The video has been released by police as a warning to drivers tempted to break the law by speeding during the recent sunny spell.
The terrifying clip shows the bikers Fred Bowden and Andrew Prowse weaving in and out of traffic.
Police officer Tim Swarbrick said: ‘I would appeal for all motorists to adhere to the speed limit.
‘Watching this video was not pleasant viewing and the subsequent incident was a tragedy for everyone, not least the traffic officers who had to attend the collision.
‘At that speed, there is just no time to react and what we have seen on the video is truly shocking.
‘The footage shows the bike carrying out dangerous overtaking manouvres, contravening white lines and actions which force other motorists to move out of the way.
‘Other drivers being overtaken during this journey made comments that one or both of these motorcyclists may die – sadly this proved to be the case.’
