Every last one of u needs to go watch "the wild one" and thats all im gonna say. None of u have a right to say what u woulda done n either dudes shoes cuz it didnt happen to u and all the scruzzy superman idd bs u can spew out ur keyboard doesnt cut it for me. Go get on ur bike and brake check some well to do young family or fire up ur prius on ur way to find a squid gang. Just start bumpin dudes on ninjas. Until then, keep fishn for them rep points. 2hy out!

[sprk_sprd]

and thats all im gonna say

I love when people say that only to then continue blabbering. And while we're on the topic of stupidity, why do these younger folks insist on typing "ur" instead of "your". I see it all the time nowadays. Are you kids really lacking precious time because you're saving the world? "Gee, let me save some time by typing 'ur'. Great, now I can treat another refugee in Darfur."

[sprk_sprd]

2hy,

I just re-read your post. Three more times. And it still doesn't make sense. But then I re-read your screen name. Now it all makes sense.

[djs2k2]

sprk sprd thats funny as hell because I read it and didn't understand it, but I just blew it off. Now that you pointed out his user name I can't stop laughing. Don't get me wrong maybe he is a pilot and was referring to that, but I doubt it! [up] Also I can't force myself to watch "the wild one"

[2hy2ride]

I think yall r just re-reading too much into it. Literaturlly!

[djs2k2]

Explain. Please.

[d_adams]

I don't know, proper grammar might help understand it somewhat, but it's not likely.

This was on another board. Shows those idiots in some other videos from that day.

[thrstrmech]

nbc news has an article of the rider that was ran over, he may not ever walk again, sucks...claims of him trying to break up the incident of the rider who stopped in front of the suv and also his driving record in question

claims of him trying to break up the incident of the rider who stopped in front of the suv and also his driving record in question

And without a license to drive or ride, W T F was he even there for? Oh, yeah, right. Break the law. Yep. I do not feel sorry for him one bit. Been there, done that, did my time for my f^ckups. You know what else? I learned my lesson from it.

[stopie20]

^^^Sorry, I don't see the balance between being paralyzed and driving while suspended..^^^
I am positive his family (who will now most likely have to care for him for the rest of his life) doesn't either.

A lot of bikers have lived through the transgressions of their youth as you have, some have even been lucky enough to escape unscathed both physically and legally. I wasn't that lucky, while I did fair better than the biker in this video, I have my scars...
I too learned my lessons, but it wasn't the pain, the legal battles, or the medical bills that impacted me the most, I learned what I needed to from the people who stood by and supported me through those years...

[oh9bolt]

Look at it this way if he wasnt being a thug that wouldn't have happened to him....

Thread jack...

Anyone know what the difference between range rover and land rover is? Is it the same company?

I walked past one of each in a parking lot. I always thought it was the same company but the land rover looked dated and didn't have anything that said range rover on it.

The range rover was newer and real sleek but didn't have anything that said land rover on it?

Just curious :-)

[d_adams]

Same company. I always thought it was Toyota that made them, but looking at the website for them, looks like its Jaguar.

Toyota makes/made the Land Cruiser. They're similar, and when you think of African Safari, both come to mind.

Land Rover has changed hands a few times, being owned by British Leyland, Rover, BMW, Ford, and now Tata Motors.

Land Rover is the 2$ whore of autos everyones had a piece of her

An interview with a witness to the beating! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoHEgz5-tUA)

Some good info and stills from the video...

[squidbuellie]

This whole situation.... Is just dumb, and kinda sick of seeing/hearing about it. I still have not seen anything new that points the blame at just one party.

One thing I do know is I think the media needs to stop hyping it up... If it was a dodge caravan with a lower middle class to poor family in there place we might have only seen the tittle on the bottom of the news ticker, if at all...

I remember a little over a year ago close to the same thing happened in Brazil, just with bicycles.

I remember a little over a year ago close to the same thing happened in Brazil, just with bicycles.

Hmmm, that's interesting. I didn't see where a bicyclist was initially hit and the driver pulled over. I also couldn't make out where the bicyclists swarmed the VW, slashed it's tires, chased it and eventually caught up to it, dragged the driver out, beat him up and slashed his face.

The only part that is "close to the same thing" is that two-wheelers were hit by a four-wheeler. Also, the bicyclists looked to be having a fairly peaceful protest.

[squidbuellie]

You are so right^^^^^^lol.....
If my memory is right the protester did not want to yield to traffic and they blocking the road. Then swarmed the car and hit it with bicycle bumps then the guy got pissed and run through the crowd..... And no the bicycles were not able to catch the car.............
but if they did.......he would have been beat too....shoot even in the video you can see people trying to run after the car....

Some people need to get off their soapboxes.... I never said what happen was right or wrong, I'm a pretty grounded guy and can see it from everyone's point of view....
From a-hole who brake checked him......to the guy who ran them over.... to the guys who chased/beat him down....to the guy who stopped them beating on him.....to the cop who didn't report it.....but...

We are all human and make good and really bad decisions in some situations... and in this case it was the perfect storm.
And honestly this is a isolated incident....trust me there will be a public hanging of someone, more then likely a-hole and he will be made example off.

[s0dhi]

squidbuellie, LOL as much as you'd like. As you said, you definitely aren't asserting whether it's right or wrong...


Some people need to get off their soapboxes.... I never said what happen was right or wrong, I'm a pretty grounded guy and can see it from everyone's point of view....

But you did take this position...

If I was there I would have beat him.....and if his wife made a noise, I more then likely would have beat her too....the child in the car is unfortunately a victim of a bunch of bad choices made by the father.........lucky enough to only be 5 months old and not being the wiser

beating video clip (http://www.youtube.com/embed/fXu8b7nXehQ)

[rah7777777]

I try to really look at everything from different angles... But I can not see where the range rover guy really made a bad decision... He was put in a place where his best decision was a crappy one, but that was forced as far as I can see.

He was being swarmed by people who obviously were not about to shake his hand and give his daughter a basket of flowers.....
Was he supposed to sit and wait for them to slash all his tires and beat out all his windows? Would they then stop?? Or would they continue to beat him and his family in the middle of the highway? Who knows? But being a father with a young daughter I agree 100% with his decision to stomp on the gas.

But the world would be a different place if a ruled it :-)

[jetlee]

Why don't you start? Practice what you preach.

[s0dhi]

This is where it's at for me too.

[djs2k2]

So it turns out multiple police officers were on this ride. Go figure cops were there but did notging . I think only one of the cops has a leg to stand on he was under cover, but didn't report to his supervisor until days later?

[djs2k2]

The full story changes everything, they showed the rest of video and that group was riding into traffic causing scenes splitting cars with 4wheelers and everything else illegal. I really didn't see one bike obey the law and that's sad, but I saw no buells just douch bags.

[djs2k2]

Everyone hear that there were actually cops on that ride?

[sprk_sprd]

The full story changes everything..,

The full story has been obvious to many from the beginning. It's just unfortunate it has taken so long for others to finally see it. As far as "no Buells just douch [sic] bags", this forum proves that the two are not mutually exclusive.

[djs2k2]

Well the more informed you are the better your opinion can be.

[rah7777777]

They interviewed the guy on the news last night who brake-checked the RR initially.

He was "trying to get in the next lane and looking back for his friends" and had "no intentions of slowing the SUV down"

What a F'n idiot!!!

[djs2k2]

I still cant get over the fact that everyone said that chase went on for like over 6 minutes and where were the cops, hello there were officers riding with the club. Ooooops.

[pvmike]

Undercover police officer arrested

http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/undercover-lied-role-biker-beatdown-suv-driver-source-article-1.1479369

The other cop being investigated right now is NYPD Detective Samir Gonsalves, 34, who claims he took part in the ride while off-duty, but not the beatdown.

Gonsalves was identified after cops traced his bike’s license plate to him. He did not come forward to notify his bosses of his presence during the ride, the source said. He was already on modified duty after being arrested in August for allegedly fighting with cops who were sent to break up an argument he had with his girlfriend, who is a Queens prosecutor.

[thrstrmech]

just read the story on msn...

this will from that day on, focus police more on group rides all around the country, maybe affect others overseas also...thanks to a few "outstanding citizens", yeah and I don't mean it like a drill instructor does when he says it.

[dec03001]

Morons.

[FLHP]

I can't seen to figure out if I'm just old or where I lost touch with the world. I've had a bike of some type since I was 11, and after nine years in the military, strapped on a badge and gun. I've ridden in groups and by myself, with other cops, and random whoever. Never has the thought gone through my head to go out and block off the interstate so I can do tricks in the road or whatever else.

And from the cop side I can't grasp siting back and watching an event like his go down, so I the thought of joining in just fries my brain. I've spent they days since I first saw the video pissed off as bunch of idiots throw the motorcycle community under the bus, and now I find the cops involved. My friends wonder why I'm ready to go live in a cave somewhere.

I told you guys NYPD is corrupt, but you laughed at me and told me I was watching too many movies. Now we have a detective mixed up in all this. There are plenty of good cops here also.

The guy who filmed the footage is being treated as a witness and he claims that a water bottle was ejected from the SUV. I don't know if its true or not, but I can say from my experience riding here, I have had change and bottles thrown at me, cars swerve at me, huge trucks blow their horns at me, people curse at me, flip me off.... all while filtering gridlock traffic at 10 mph. I don't know a single rider who does not filter NYC traffic, even older dudes on Harleys. Technically it isn't legal, but when cars are bumper to bumper standing still, its just going to happen. I firmly believe it protects me from rear end collisions from inattentive drivers.

Anyways, I can believe a water bottle being thrown from the SUV. One time a prick waited for me to pass buy and squirted water out of one of those sports water bottles at me. Obviously I just drive on, but I can testify to the treatment motorcyclists get around here.

Does a thrown water bottle justify anything? Probably not, but it certainly would not reflect well on the RR driver.

did you stop to realize and notice that every time you open your mouth or post here your IQ drops a few points...

The driver must have been sick of reading your retarded posts. And he said it wasn't water.
