What they're saying:
HCSO released the following statement warning motorcyclists.
"While motorcycles are built for performance, our roads are not racetracks. Speed limits are in place for a reason — to protect everyone on the road. Traveling at more than double the speed limit endangers not only the rider, but every driver and pedestrian nearby. "Ride smart, drive safe — or we will be posting your mugshot faster than your top speed!"
