Description

There has been a silver/grey racing motorcycle driving at an extremely high rate of speed on Townsend in recent days. The bike has wider tires than normal, and on occasion the driver has a female passenger on the back. Yesterday, the driver sped between both directions of traffic in excess of 60mph, nearly clipping my side mirror. My two children were in the car and they were frightened. I could not get a plate number because the motorcycle was traveling so fast. Ahead of us, it passed between a southbound school bus and northbound cars at a high rate of speed, nearly clipping the school bus.

I hope our district manager and beat officers take note of this "cool guy" from the Cove who is risking his life, the life of his passenger and the safety of drivers and pedestrians in the area. No driver or pedestrian has a chance to safely get out of this biker's way.
