The motorcycle shown in the lower picture looks like the one I had recently reported to the Police through Task Force email address for dangerous speeding in Northdown Road. It is black with a white patch around headlight and Jack Daniels written above the patch. The Motorcyclist wore black clothing with a white helmet and is stockily built. His rear number-plate is either non-existent or so tiny it cannot be read whilst on the move.
