It isn't that simple. We do not have film of what was going on before but in the past, and what has happened before doesn't mean it happened here but in the past these groups have got together and acted like complete asses on the road ways. Getting in people's way, slowing down and stopping traffic to do tricks on the roads, so maybe the driver was careless or maybe it wasn't his fault.

I've rode for around 36 and I have been cut off many times and I've wanted to take my helmet and use it to beat the car that cut me off but those who act like idiots while riding need their right to ride taken from them.

Yep, I am looking forward to a whole pile of felony charges and other lesser charges against all of the motorcyclists involved.

But then who would be stupid enough to play games with an SUV while riding a motorcycle. Just run them over.
Harley riders are too old to do stuff like that. They ride slow and they have bad knees. No way they would brake check in front of a Range Rover.

I would have done the mad max on these freakin looser bikers..
The SUV driver made the first hit. He wasn't paying attention and bumped a bike. You don't bump a moving biker because that causes a crash. Then and there, he should have stopped the SUV. What he did was criminal hit and run and he continued to hit and run, using his SUV as a weapon. I have seen the video, and it is clear he was going to fast over taking a rider where there was no room. Then his sissy ass paniced and he ran instead of pulling over to render any assistance possible.

We riders are legally ignored everyday and we are killed by soccer moms every day and nothing ever happens. We are killed by politians drunk and speeding too. All that SUV driver needed to do to render the whole thing harmless was stop at the scene of the first crash.

Watch the video carefully in the beginning. The bikers clearly put on their brakes in front of the Range Rover. Why? Probably to get it off the road so they could have all three lanes to themselves. The Ranger Rover hit the bike in front of it. They all stopped. The RR decided to get out of there and drove over the bike it hit.

It escalated from there.

The Range Rover had no trouble rolling over motorcycles. I guess RR can add that to their advertising.

Some of these locations are going to need to get way tougher law and order or there is no chance. A drone patrol may be helpful.

He did stop, it's on the video. The driver was surrounded when he stopped, they began to slice the tires on his SUV and beat their helmets against the sides. Riders like the ones in the video should expect to get run over and killed. You play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.

These bikers are all going to jail - and they should. They give the rest of us bikers a bad rep. There is absolutely no way anyone can justify what they did. They purposely blocked traffic (while many didn't even have license plates on their bikes) and when this SUV tried to pass, they got in front and slammed their brakes (it's on the video and in the testimonies of several eye witnesses). The driver tapped into the bike who slammed his brakes and then got out to make sure he was ok (at least, attempted to) and was met with a beating. He did what anyone would do when surrounded by an angry and bullying crowd. He has his wife and child in the SUV and did the right thing - floor it and get out of there. This man did nothing wrong and many of us bikers agree with decision/actions. Nuff said . . .

It's expected, but the bikers were the real pu$$ies here. It's easy to be a tough guy when 50 of your buddies are with you.
