Range Rover Runs Over Bikers

[djs2k2]

Can this post be hijacked. We don't know all the fact's, and that is a fact. So please lets not continue flexing our internet muscles, and talk about something else. Like how is my smiley face going to recover from this stroke [smirk][confused]

Well I dropped my motorcycle in the parking garage at work yesterday. 1 year and 13K miles no incidents until yesterday. A car pulled up and my bike was in the lane, he could have ran it over or gone around it if he wanted to do so, but he stopped. He got out and was wearing a business suite and looked like he was in his late 60's, he walks up and says drop the kick stand and he effortlessly stands the bike up. Asks me if I am alright and says he used to ride an old Indian. Jumps back in his car and left. I have never met this person or rode with him, I may have seen him in the two years I have worked there going to and from the parking garage and that is it. Riding a motorcycle I feel there is a connection, a close knitted group of people that share the same joy. Just like I see here that there is a group of people that appear to like Range Rovers because of its ability to crush a few motorcycles and people, I will not be at your next rally. Hey if that is your thing, but I pray your not behind the next group ride I am in. Maybe I am naive and would have thought after being off a bike for 23 years that things were like they used to be. I guess I am old school and ride a Buell. Panic and fear cause people to act out, just like a rookie cop needs a wiser partner to put him in check, a good wife, mother, husband, brother, fellow biker, coworker, etc.. I would like to think I ride with people that have my back, even if I do wheelies on the highway, speed on the highway, go slow, cut someone off, run out gas, breakdown, crash, traffic may have to be stopped for a good or no good reason. Does that mean it is ok to run bikes and riders over intentionally?

Oh I think we know more than enough facts by now about this.

What would you like to know?? Perhaps I can be of assistance.

Hey! 2014 calendar is up!!!! Lets focus on that!!!

"BuellsRuell"
OK, so what truly happened that day? Where did your information come from? Is this a matter of fact or opinion? Did your information come from a bystander, were you yourself on the ride, a passerby, the family in the car that was attacked, bikers on the ride, or a news source? I will also say that I am not saying that anything that occurred here seems to be justifiable. Let’s make that very clear. I don’t know because I wasn’t there.

The answer to the argument boils down to the ten commandments: do unto others...
Maybe they should leave those up in front of the courthouse. Just a thought.
Or is that the"golden rule"? Either way you get the point.

 

[snrusnak]

I'm not a religious person but I'll second the "do unto others" [up]

 

[BuellyBagger]

I'm not really religious either they just seem like a good set of guide lines

See if we can agree on this http://www.buellxb.com/Buell-XB-Forum/Users-Bikes/GOV-shut-down-opinions

[snrusnak]

^mr. tough guy here... you must have just watched some action movies mr. tough guy.

 

[d_adams]

Nope, I just value the life and safety of my family.

 

[snrusnak]

I know, I was teasing

 

[go cytocis]

I'll tell you what.  You point out this rider, out of all of them, that didn't have a blatant disregard for others, the law, the safety of those around him, and I'll go back on my statement.

I can not, nor is it my place, or anyone else's place, to prove that anyone in that video is not guilty.
Fortunately we live in a system that assumes innocence. The burden is actually on you, Lotus, to prove that ALL participants in that ride are guilty before I'm prepared to buy into the 'lynch em all' mindset. Otherwise I'll stick with due-process.

Btw, I asked my wife for her opinion on all this crap. That's how I know for sure she'd either hand me mags or shoot for herself. Luckily for us, a ccw is not required to actually carry in a vehicle where we live, even though I have mine. She's getting hers next and assuming the laws go into effect here for the lowered age for ccw, all of my kids will be getting theirs.

I'm just hoping 81 rounds is enough until I get more mags, that's all I can carry loaded right now.

 

[djs2k2]

Use the kid in the back to reload empty mags, and wife to hand you full ones. I'm just trying to resolve your issue without wasting money use the money you save on mags and buy more ammo. Just saying. [up]
Not condoning violence but I love my guns and thats even if I'm on my bike I carry.

 

[d_adams]

I just bought a Dillon 550, so I'll eventually save some money there, but it will take a little while to recuperate what I just spent on that setup.
