Note to self, never EVER honk at motorcycle riders. They own the road. Pull over and assume the fetal position when approached. The biker who was run over won't be making the mistake of trying to stop in front of and SUV again. Darwinism at it's finest.

Darwinism? You're trying too hard. Calm your rack. I'm all about common sense. Why should I needlessly get into it with a group of bikers. It's not the fetal position nor them owning the road. It's common sense. I have nothing to prove nor do I feel the need to try to act like a badass. It's very easy to act tough in a cage. Anyone can be brave in a cage.

Apparently, the biker who was paralyzed has never had a valid driver's license in his entire life, so he had no business being on the road in the first place:

Lawrence man seriously injured in NYC incident involving SUV and motorcyclists - Metro - The Boston Globe

Quote:




Though Mieses is a Massachusetts resident, he has never had a valid
Massachusetts driver’s license for a passenger vehicle and has never applied for
a motorcycle license, the Registry of Motor Vehicles said.



Registry records show that Mieses applied for a learner’s permit in 1999
and 2000, but that he never obtained a full license because he failed to pay
fines imposed after he was ticketed for speeding in Lawrence in 1999. His last
contact with the Registry was in 2001, when he obtained an identification card,
registry records show.



Since 1999, he has been ticketed by police 16 times, in Lawrence,
Methuen, Roxbury, Andover, and New Hampshire, according to registry records.



In June, the Registry notified the National Driver Register that Mieses
was a habitual traffic offender whose right to drive in Massachusetts was
revoked until 2017, records show.

Also, a couple of the bikers gave interviews to a local TV station; they claim that they were actually the victims of the SUV driver:

It's very easy to act tough in a group of 30. Anyone can be brave in a group of 30. If you are all about common sense would you pull up in front of a cage when you are on a bike. LOL!!!

It's not that easy because you're still on a bike exposed. In a cage you are still surrounded by metal and plastic protecting you. You're not very good at turning around my posts. That cage could have easily let them go by before it all started. He probably pissed them off honking at them repeatedly like he owns the road from reading articles about it. I have a wife and sperm dropping in my car and I'm still going to pick a fight a bunch of motorcycle riders. He is an imbecile. The biggest victories are the battles that are never fought at all.

Thirty people attacking him and making him fear for his safety and, especially, the safety of his wife and infant child is all the justification he needed to try to escape by whatever means necessary.

The attackers should be jailed, forced to work off this guy's medical bills and car repair bills, and should be taking the bus for the next 20 years after they've been released from jail.

Men like these bring shame to all the decent folks out there who ride.

He probably pissed them off honking at them repeatedly? So you admit you have no idea what happened. Sounds like the motorcycle rider is an idiot. At least we know one thing, he will not be pulling that stunt again. Wheelchairs don't go fast on the interstate.

On another note, Why do you refer to his child as sperm?. Do you have something against children?

The SUV won't be pulling that stuff again either. I know that much as well. I didn't admit to anything. You're putting words in my mouth.

Right, so someone shouldn't use a horn if it's justified. Did you even watch the video? A motorcycle came right up beside him and started moving into his lane. In a situation like that, you use your horn to avoid a collision. That isn't acting tough, that's trying to be a safe driver.

It then appears that the motorcycle rider got pissed off at that and brake checked the guy and he bumped the motorcycle. If the story is true, one guy came at the SUV with a knife and was trying to slash the tires and others were hitting the SUV with their helmets. You call that "getting some attention"? I call it being attacked.

If the story is true. I highly doubt the bikers saw a cage and said "Hey lets attack it"? You can call it terrorism if that's what you makes you feel better. Every little thing is terrorism nowadays.
