Both the bike and the rider had a scrappy post-apocalyptic vibe, as if
everything had been hammer-welded together out of salvaged oil drums. A
very odd character, combat boots and two helmet-mounted mirrors...
And BTW, I think Tom Sherman might have known him. Tom? Am I right?

Yes, I think that's him.
