Not sure what to think about that one.

I could be all over that one,,, but that would be a long story!!!!! 'Rights' on both sides,,, best thought for me either way: don't ride\drive in a crowd!!!

I can't imagine me playing chicken with a vehicle that out weighs me by at least a ton or ton and a half.

I really don't see what the big deal was with the bikers. They were on a 3 lane and most of the bikes were using the middle lane. They should have let the car go.

It sure looks like it was a police escorted ride. With as quick as the cop showed up he must have been right behind and watching everything. The cop went after the cage instead of the bikes. We do not see what happened before hand.

This is one of those circumstances where no matter which side you take, you will p!$s off about 50% of the readers!

My only comment is that I personally don't try to win a fight with a cager. As close as the cop was, he could have taken care of the situation without the seemingly aggressive blocking of the cager. I agree with Jeff, we need to see more before and after.

I still cant get Flash Player to load on my Vista running puter so I dont get to see nuttin...... Any chance the vid is on Youtube and if so,, any chance of getting a link?

My take on it is this....

 

A) The biker(s) trying to chase down and block/stop the cage driver after he bolted past them is extremely dangerous, even more so since the cage driver is obviously agitated and aggressive.

 

B) This was a police escorted Veteran's ride and all lanes are 'reserved' for the riders. Cagers are not allowed to share the space.

 

C) That cager was already trying to take over a lane already occupied by at least two bikers. He was totally in the wrong right there.

Appears to only be on facebook although 'Breed of Speed' does have a bunch on youtube but I couldn't find this one.

 

Maybe it's time to toss pista shista Vista ...

As my grandfather used to say " There's more horses asses than there are horses."

Motorcycles don't own the road. And civilians taking the law into their own hands is wrong. This is how people get hurt.

Dont know about the rest of you, but I taught my kids that two wrongs don't make a right!

I certainly don't know the whole story, but the cop was on the scene, the civilians should have let the law handle it...especially since they were supposedly "honoring " some veteran cause....as a veteran, I'm ashamed.

The vidioe clip starts out with the cager attempting to overtake and pass a motorcycle on the right within the same lane as the motorcycle. That in itself is wrong and dangerous.

As you correctly point out...."As the video starts out".

None of us know what was happening, would it make a difference if you found out he was trying to bring a sick injured veteran to the hospital?

Grandpa also used to say "Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear."

How different would the reaction be if one of the bikers flashed a pistol?

If I'm driving an SUV and a group of bikers wearing cuts attempts to stop my progress and block me in.....I can only hope I'd be as diplomatic as this fella.
