Thank goodness the police officer suffered minor injuries only. It could have been a lot worse. MOO

That would appear to be a rather distinct or unique logo or emblem / marking* on the upper left chest of the jacket? But I can’t determine what it is.

Let’s hope this individual is tracked down quickly and held accountable. If that cycle is registered or having been sold or titled hopefully not too difficult to find this individual. After this incident, suspect the owner will be taking measures to sell it quickly….. or hide it for an extended period.

The motorcycle appears to be a Honda CBR600 or possibly a CBR1000, but the specific year made is not yet known. MOO

*ETA - it is not an HRC (Honda Racing Corporation) or typical Honda ‘wing’ or ‘flying wing’ logo. Still haven’t found it yet. MOO
