Police hope the driver of the motorcycle will come forward, and are also asking the public for any dash-cam footage or witnesses who may have seen the incident.
Sergeant Scott Kirkpatrick, Roads Policing Unit, Livingston, said: “During our investigation into the crash we were made aware that the pedestrian had to go to hospital due to a serious head injury he sustained as a result of the incident.
“Although we spoke to witnesses at the time, we still need to trace the motorcyclist involved. We know that the motorcyclist was with a group of other riders and I would appeal to the person that struck the pedestrian, or anyone who was part of the group, to get in touch with police as soon as possible.
"We just need to find out their version of events. We are still keen to hear from anyone with dash-cam footage from the street at the time to get in touch as their images may help our investigation.”
