Police are asking anyone with information about a couple of dangerous motorcyclists spotted in the Tweed Shire on the weekend to come forward.
Highway patrol officers recorded the two riders speeding at around 150km per hour in Chillingham, west of Murwillumbah, on Saturday, Byron Bay Chief Inspector Matt Kehoe said.
Police have been targeting the area for a couple of years, the inspector said, in response to continued community complaints about dangerous drivers and multiple crashes.
Saturday’s riders were using generic black road bikes as opposed to more obvious iconic brands such as Harley Davidson, Inspector Kehoe said.
Police gave chase but quickly abandoned the tactic owing to safety concerns.
The riders were reportedly crossing into the oncoming traffic lane and mounting traffic crests.
Their reckless speeding meant officers were unable to register their licence plate details or any other identifying details of the bikes or drivers.
Inspector Kehoe said police encouraged anyone with complaints about driver behaviour to report it.
To motorcycle enthusiasts, the inspector said ‘enjoy your weekend rides in our beautiful region but please ride to the conditions’.
