• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

video of Motorcycle gangs in NY .....

The idiot that hit the skids was trying to toy with the SUV. He was lucky he was in the state of NY, if he'd been in Montana, of Wyoming, one of them country boys might have emptied their six gun, and been reloading before he hit the ground. That was a planned incident to incite a driver. You don't "accidentally" hit the brakes then look back to see how close you can get. I have little problem with the driver taking evasive action, the bike rider was trying to create a rear end collision, which in most states is automatically the fault of the vehicle in the rear. I would find no fault with the SUV. Further, with that many bikes trying to catch him they would be in a sad state when a dozen or so were "nudged" off the road. Alas, the SUV will probably be charged with fleeing the scene of an injury accident. The guy on the bike clearly was baiting to SUV, which says much about the common sense he doesn't possess. I would never pull that kind of on my sidecar rig which may tip the scales up around 900-1,000 pounds, the stability of a sports bike in an impact like that would be crazy.

:agree: and I'm glad its not me in the suv and God help me, but if I am I would have to ride off road. to try to avoid and find a safe police station. It's really hard to say what could have been done.
This is a good lesson for all of us, What are we going to do if this happen to us?
 
door locks

i always had a habit of never locking my doors but when i moved back in with mom to take care of her i programed my car to lock the doors, now i just got used to having it that way and i keep it set. now more and more people are driving with cameras in their cars to record their drives and i think it is a good idea, right now people have to views of what happened. one from the video and the one that we are speculating that happened. if the SUV had a camera in it the whole story would be on film
i personally think the SUV driver could not be that stupid to start something with his kid and wife was in the car. when you get a crowd like this you will never know what is going to happen next, so best bet is to move over and let them pass. there has been two bikers arrested and one guy paralyzed from being run over but no charges were brought against the SUV driver. he was put into a spot where he rear ended one bike and was surrounded by a bunch of bikes because of that, and that is the reason he took off and ran over the biker that can't walk anymore.

it's a shame someone was hurt really bad but with someone else in my car or just me i would never try to explain to a mob why i rear ended the biker if he stopped in front of me, i would of most likely did the same as the SUV driver

I have to wonder what part the SUV driver had to do start with ?? Not that the bikers did right either. I have to wonder if he did not force his way into a stream of motorcycldes on the road and hit a motorcycle first. Their was a big ride going on.
What would you do if a vehicle hit a friend of yours and kept going ???????
I have been way to many scenes as a Law Enforcement person to go with only one side of the story
Just a thought
Read the true story of Hollister, CA, the bike riots

This is what I was thing as well. He may have gotten frustrated with all the bikes and decided he was sick of all these bikes clogging up the road. The bikers probably snapped after seeing one of thier buddy's run over by the guy driving the SUV. I hope he did not do anything that stupid, especially with his wife and kid in the car.
 
I think that video was the result of something that had already happened prior. The bikers had already slowed down and then one stopped right in front of the Rover. I'm sure at some point we will hear for the rover driver. No matter what, its pretty hard to condone the actions the bikers took regardless of what the driver did. WTF were the police for this entire event. Bloomberg probably has them sitting outside fast food restaurants making sure people arent buying 16oz sodas.:dontknow:

After watching the posted video, I think the bikers were mostly at fault.
 
Something off-camera prompted that initial brake-check...
I'm not going to defend that mob; but there's a little bit more to this than we will ever see. :shocked:

And no matter what that was, nobody was hurt until that brake-check occurred. That guy is responsible for all the damage and his friend being paralyzed. I'm sure egos had plenty to do with this.
 
We will probably never know what happened to who and when and why in this case. It will probably as long before the two/three wheel community lives this down. Two local, two nationial networks have post the smashing scences and nothing else.
Now somebody has posted another vid of a car being chased by bikers violating the law. More mud to sling at us. Why????????????
Yes, I was ranting on the other thread and this one. I have been though being refused service at a resturant or motel. because I rode a motorcyle.
There is a old saying, one ah Sh** wipes out 100 atta boys. This is a ah SH**
End of this rant.

The video was shown and discussed on NBC news this evening. They did not have anything good to say about bikers in general. Our favorite newscaster stated that there are gangs all over the US similar to the bunch as shown in the video. They also showed additional crotch rocket riders doing the proverbial wheelies going down the highway.

I did see a pack of four doing wheelies and traveling at least 20 mph faster than the flow of traffic (about 70 mph) here on the Glenn Highway just a week or so ago.

The incident certainly did not do anything good in portraying those who enjoy the sport of motorcycling. I have not had any personal fallout yet. Time will tell. :bbq::bbq:

I'm glad that I am an old fart on a reverse trike, not a squid on a sport bike.
 
Oh... They've got a host of things to dangle in front of him too; perhaps the DA is looking at his motivations for doing some very moronic things... :shocked:
 
Bet you a dollar the punks come out on this one. We'll most likely see a law banning any escape attempt while being assaulted.

It'll be called the take I like man law. :nojoke:

the wife of the suv driver put out a statement this morning saying they are very sorry for the person who lost the use of his legs, but that they feared for their life and did what they could to survive. she also thanked the people in the street where they were stopped for helping and getting involved in stopping the attack.
now what i didn't know is that most of the riders were un licensed and bike were not registered or stolen when big ride like this go down. so even thou there were 2 bikers arrested most charges will be dropped, but there could be a civil suit against the suv driver for hitting and braking the back of the one biker.
 
The thoughts of a mama------- If I had been in this situation, my child in the car, there would have been more than one biker down. The SUV driver was in panic mode and the bikers had reached the realm of pack survival. As someone stated in an earlier post, these guys were thugs.
