Crazy....

Sadly there are too many of them out there..:banghead::banghead: it is so easy to just pick another route or just let them by..that could have ended badly/deadly. From the news cast it looks like it won't end there....

 

[cuznjohn]

the pickup driver was a real jerk

 

[vided]

the ram driver is classified as a PUTZ

:gaah: Fools... :gaah:
On BOTH sides of this encounter. :gaah:
Get the idiot's plate number, and report it to the authorities: do NOT engage him in traffic! nojoke

IMHO, The guy in the Ram was a jerk, but I personally think some of the guys on the bikes were also.

There was no organization in the group of riders, they were even cutting each other off as they were changing lanes. They were taking up all the lanes on the road and not giving others a chance to get away or out of the group. The teal Gold wing rider was asking for a crash zigzagging through the rest of the bikes to try to catch the idiot in the pick up.

We had a group like this last week ride past our church. They stopped at a stop light, blocked the traffic from behind from going through two green lights while they sat and talked and waited for the rest of their group to surround the cars behind them and catch up to them.

I personally won't ride in a group like that because someone always gets hurt.

The road was three lanes wide.

Yes the RAM driver was a jerk but the mcs could have easily given up one lane.
The group should have moved over and not continued to cut the truck off and swarm him.
After the first incident the mc drivers continued to provoke.
The ride should have been more organized.
The truck driver could have killed several people.

 

[SPECTACUALR SPIDERMAN]

the mc in front of the pickup was blocking him so the other bikes could go, it starts there. the pickup shouldn't have
driven wild like that but the bikes put themselves in that position. taking up all the lanes, blocking all other cars, no
leader in any way.
i will never understand why a biker thinks they can take on a car much less a big pickup.

:agree: You can be right: and still lose! nojoke

They did get the plate #. Its actually posted in the heading of video one. Look for the yellow writing.

The irony here--all the bikes were headed to the annual "bike blessing," a yearly event where a minister prays for the bikes safety for the year and blesses them. :dontknow:

 

[Bob Denman]

:shocked: I hope that they prayed for more patience...
I did see that they posted his plate; it's too bad that their own boorish behavior was evident in their very own video!

On who, the morons on the bikes, or the moron in the pickup???

About the time you get off of your bike and confront someone, they feel threatened, pull out their gun and blow you away. They then say that they feel their life was threatened and get off and yet because they killed someone their life will never be the same.

So I ask you, is it worth it to take a chance just to make a point???? :banghead:

 

[Bob Denman]

:agree: It's not necessary to be right all of the time: sometimes: it's best to remain upright! :thumbup:

That is a real possibility here. Would be interesting to know how many of the morons were packing a gun. Glad it did not escalate to that level. Most here, do pack a gun.

well, those bikes were NOT endangering the LIVES of the occupants of that truck.. but it was sure as hell the other way around... and if you think I don't carry a gun.. you are VERY MISTAKEN ! that truck driver threatened the lives of quiet a few people riding motorcycles ! if someone tried to run me down while riding I have the right to protect my life by what ever means necessary !
