“I love messing around with bikes,” this person wrote in one tweet.
The biker managed to accumulate a considerable following on social media and to evade any scrutiny until recently.
In a photo this person took of the motorcycle the biker used last month, some eagle-eyed fans noticed there was a reflection of a middle-aged man in the rearview mirror.
