‘I used to be simply having enjoyable’: Deputies warn of risks after Pueblo biker cited for dashing 120 mph

CUSTER COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) – The Custer County Sheriff’s Office is reminding drivers concerning the risks of dashing after deputies caught a motorcyclist dashing 120 miles an hour on Highway 96.

According to CCSO, on the afternoon of Oct. 5, deputies witnessed a sport motorbike touring at a “dangerously high rate of speed” – estimated at 120 miles per hour – on Highway 96 close to Bear Basin.

The sheriff’s workplace stated that because the motorbike approached Silver Cliff, the radar recorded the biker going 98 miles per hour.

Deputies stopped the rider, recognized as 20-year-old Ezra Trujillo, as he entered Silver Cliff, CCSO stated.

During the cease, deputies decided that Trujillo did not possess the required motorbike endorsement on his driver’s license to be using the bike, nor did the motorbike have the required registration.

CCSO stated when deputies requested Trujillo why he was dashing, he stated, “I was just having fun.”

The sheriff’s workplace stated the incident is an efficient reminder to all motorcyclists that extreme pace and failing to adjust to licensing and registration legal guidelines put everybody in danger.

“The safety of our community remains our top priority, and we appreciate the vigilance of our Deputies in protecting our roadways,” CCSO stated.
