A statement released by NSW police said at about 11.30am on Tuesday, Riverina Highway Patrol officers received information that a black motorcycle was detected allegedly travelling at 205km/h on the Hume Highway, and then the Olympic Highway at Table Top.
Police initiated a pursuit of the motorcycle rider which was then terminated soon afterwards due to safety concerns.
The motorcycle was found abandoned by officers a short time later in Wagga.
The statement added that a search of the area with the assistance of the dog unit located a 30-year-old who was arrested and taken to Wagga Police Station.
Police will allege that Mr Triffitt did not hold a motorcycle licence, and his NSW class C provisional drivers licence is disqualified until March 3, 2022, after he was previously involved in a pursuit with police.
