The myth took off from a particular claim on an online forum, namely Neoseeker, when a user under the name of Crimson Bahamut posted a thread relating to ghost bikes and riders in the game. It's known to indulge players in both the mythical and technical aspects of myth hunting and later on became a source of various player skins in the game that are still popular.
It's one of the myths that emerged a year after the game was released, but still remains as one of the oldest myths in GTA Vice City. Ghost Rider is a bygone myth in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
