A motorcyclist with a female passenger wearing no helmet led Los Angeles police and the California Highway Patrol on a 100-mile-plus chase Sunday from San Fernando Valley through L.A., Long Beach andOrange County before finally stopping in northern San Diego County.

The chase began when Los Angeles police tried to pull over the motorcyclist for an unknown reason near Bob Hope Airport, in the Sun Valley section of the San Fernando Valley. The LAPD officers chased the bike onto the northbound Golden State (5) Freeway, west onto the Ronald Reagan (118) Freeway, and then south on the San Diego (405) Freeway from the northern edge of the Valley.

It passed the City News Service offices in West L.A. at 1:25 p.m., where
an editor spotted the biker and his female passenger both dressed in all-
black. They were in the carpool lane, traveling about 10 miles per hour faster
than the other free-flow traffic.
