Two motorcyclists will be in court in November after being arrested this morning on I-93 in Hooksett for speeding.

Arrested on Sept. 4, 2015, were Kevin Blais, pictured right, 23, of Nashua, and James Neveu, 23, of Manchester, on reckless operation charges. Neveu was also charged with possession of a controlled drug.

According to state police, at just before 8 a.m., a trooper was monitoring northbound traffic in Hooksett and reportedly saw “two sport style motorcycles traveling at a high rate of speed weaving through traffic.”

They were then reportedly clocked going 108 mph, according to Lt. Gregory Ferry of the NHSP.

Just before seeing them, other troopers reported that they both sped off from the cash lane in the tollbooth reaching 78 mph, according to the report.

“One operator was seen looking back at the direction of the trooper’s, slowing down to 72 mph before disappearing around the bend, prior to encountering (the trooper),” according to Ferry. “A civilian employee who works at Troop D in Concord also witnessed the two motorcycles speeding and weaving through traffic on I-93 north prior to the Hooksett Toll plaza.”

Both were stopped and arrested. Blais and Neveu were later released on personal recognizance bail and will be arraigned in Hooksett District Court on Nov. 4.
