Curious as to what the whole story is........ Just judging by what can be seen in the vid, don't fuck with cars while on a bike.

I think the land rover at the beginning did something ignorant and pissed a rider off, then got scared and ran everyone over. Needless to say my hands are shaking after watching that from anger. I wanted to see that driver pounded. Wish we say him get pulled out and beat (not to death). Fuck with my friends and I will lose it is my mind set while riding.

Now dont get me wrong I dont blame him for being scared and running off. But I want to know what he did at the beginning to piss the riders off enough to pull him over, the ride did not look to be an aggressive nor stunty ride. As a rider If someone does something ignorant to me when riding and it was an accident on their part, a simple wave of the hand with a look of apology calms me down. Im guessing this was a driver who refused to back down to a bunch of "bikers."

Someone said in the comments that the driver was beat and killed... Im not sure but who knows. never piss off ANY large group of people, they tend to lose their minds.

Without knowing what happened it's hard to say. I don't know what compels people to ride like that but it doesn't look like the cager was at fault at first. If I had a gang of bikers around me I sure as hell wouldn't stop either I'd get the F out of there. Seems like they wanted to instigate him then retaliate. Not that he should have ran people over...

Loki the bikers were boxing him in and the one got right in front of him then let off and looks like the suv bumped him so they stopped him on the highway. I wouldn't stop either(although I'd try not to run people over lol). IMO that's the biker's fault not the driver's.

If you're stupid enough to ride like that right in front of and around a car on the highway, within a couple feet, knowing you're pissing them off, then honestly you deserve to get bumped(not ran over, but they were instigating).

The newspaper story found here: THE LINK states nobody was killed.

The video does appear to start a little late. Since the first biker in front of the Range Rover clearly swerves in front of it and is watching as he tries to slow it down. So it's hard to tell what happened to begin with. But, I do know the law works off of intent. The question is, what were those bikers intentions when they got the range rover stopped and blocked up 3 lanes of traffic? And the intention of the Range Rover driver is clear, to get out of there to protect himself and his family.

I'm sure several of them had cameras. Why couldn't they have documented what happened and gotten the license number of the SUV and reported it? I can't say I would find fault with the Range Rover driver. If it was me and my family in the car, I would've done whatever was necessary to protect them. They all should be glad in that situation nobody was carrying. Someone might have ended up shot.

Honestly it looks like the rover was trying to go through the bikes and that's why they boxed him in initially. It's hard to say with a lack of video before it happened though.

No one has been arrested and police are still investigating and examining the evidence, he said.
The spokesman said, according to the driver, a large number of motorcyclists were driving 'erratically' and he 'accidentally collided with one'.
The footage shows one motorcyclist brake hard in front the the car and seems to get bumped by it.
He pulled over but some of the bikers started to damage the vehicle. The NYPD spokesman told the Mail Online the driver drove off 'to avoid an impending assault'.

At least they didn't kill him. BS they didn't get arrested.

Disgusting! No matter what the driver did, someone can pull over and call the cops. Not letting it go seems the biggest problem here and mob mentality seems to rule. What surprises me, is even after he ran over several bikes, they chased him down and there were probably more accidents caused to each other in the silly swarm they started. Understand that when you are on a bike, you are vulnerable. That is the element of danger one takes into consideration. This was just stright madness altogether, but if you are going to threaten a man who has his family with him, you better be ready to take the consequences. They say a man defending his home is stronger than 10 hired soldiers. Give him a 2 ton SUV and make that 40! I ride, but actions taken by these riders is inexscusable on all kinds of level. You wanna get fed up and throw a finger, then do it. You wanna stop traffic and surround a man and his family...f*&k you...

It's true, we don't have a video leading up to this, and the video conveniently cuts off when they break the windows. That said, as a person who commutes daily and has ridden with mature, responsible riders... based on the video I find the bikes at fault, not all of them, but many of them.

A group ride should be an ordered thing, not a meandering chaotic ameba.

We see the one bike riding in the Range Rovers lane next to the drivers door, he then accelerates in front and looks back as he gets on his brakes (this is why I don't see it as just an accident).

We can't see what happens next, but with the driver having his wife and five year old in the vehicle with him I cannot blame him for getting the heck out of Dodge.

Next, when the vehice is stopped again around the 5:00 mark, one person starts to black the vehicle while another runs up and grabs the door handle... Again, I can't blame the driver for getting out of there.

And lastly, while stopped in traffic, to break the windows and harm a person in front of his wife and child... Now you have two, potentially three, people who are mentally and emotionally scarred and will probably never associate anything good with motorcycles.

The motorcycle community has been trying to shake the biker gang image for decades and events like this do nothing to help the rest of us who follow the rules of the road and obey the laws, and we are instantly associated with this type of foolishness.

I was suppose to be there. I know a lot if them. Going to find out whole story after work. From what I understand he was getting on parkway and didn't want to wait for 5000 bikes and just ran them off road.

 

[PaulPud]

And yes one biker did get killed at :50 second mark.

 

[rah7777777]

Looks like a bunch of D-bag motorcycle riders to me.....


Not saying the cager didn't make em made before the video started, but I've never seen that large of a group (un-escorted) not be a bunch of d-bags. Just saying.

Don't know what led up to that ,
but what would you do if I bunch of bikers boxed you in and obviously we're not happy with you?
Tough to say....

But I try my best to not get in that situation.

 

[BuddhaBuell]

I was initially pissed off at what I saw but after reexamining the situation I agree with the sane perspective that most of you have pointed out.

Other then observing that the mob mentality spread like wild fire thru the group (same thing happens regardless of demographic), it is truly something to behold from a distance and after the fact and the other thing that stood out were the amount of SQUIDS cruising in that mass of bikers,

i just wish in place of the range rover was a lifted truck on 37's or bigger. that would have been pretty interesting and entertaining to watch.

At least they didn't kill him.  BS they didn't get arrested.

I agree 100% on this, everyone needs to be arrested. And yes I think if the driver is arrested that he doesnt go to jail for defending himself. But Im still pretty sure I wouldve beat his ass for running over my friends (if they were). Again I dont fault him for getting out of there but they way he did get out of there was not the best way, how did he think that would end? Did he think 50+ riders were just going to be like "Lets not fuck with that guy, hes crazy", or did he think that he would be able to get away from said motorcycles in his o so stealthy and nimble land rover?

I think it just comes down to the fact that the driver refused to yield to the riders and started driving aggressively, thus pissing the riders off. There are other vehicles in the video before the landrover, and you dont see the riders fucking with them. I dont think the riders just up and see a land rover and said "fuck that guy, lets mess with him." Though I could be wrong. What I do know is-

 

[jstfkndi]

So he didn't want to wait. So he may have drove like an asshole. Is the best scenario getting in front of him with your bike and brake checking him? So if he avoided hitting the one douche in front of him and the other twelve behind slammed into his tailgate...is he still at fault? Point being, just because you ride a motorcycle and ride in a large group doesn not give you total permission to own the road. I can't see what is happening in the video up into the point that he guns it. Wouldn't be a fair assesment to say that he was in the right, so I have to take a step back. But...I also can't see if they are trying to get into his car, are beating on it trying to break glass and get in. There is a lot of fail in this video. Mostly from the bikers if you ask me. Up until he ran people over (which I hope he or his wife would have been on the phone with cops as well, not just the bikers) it was still a group of "bad-asses" (I absolutely use that term loosley) who are harassing a driver and his family. RIP to the rider who was killed if that is the case. Perhaps this person's death won't be in vain and can teach others to say your piece and move on rather than escalate a situation. Somehow I doubt it though....

Nobody was killed. Police reports indicate the driver was the only person to sustain injury. He was dragged out if his SUV and beaten and slashed in his face and chest.

[wolfo68]

To be fair the news doesn't always get it right. I'll say here what I said on my fb post.

"People were acting like idiots all the way around in that vid."

"If the guy really turned the camera on at that point I would think something else happened to make the guy try to stop the car. Since the guy that got bumped clearly looked back at the car a few times before braking that's what it seems to me.

Either way.

Long story short, don't ride like idiots. Those big vehicles can take you out easily."


We know they're impatient, and we know they don't look for us even if we're obvious.

 

[s0dhi]

As infuriating as cagers can be, I don't think the actions of the bikers were warranted. There was a real mob mentality to the bikers' actions and it appears they did eventually pull the driver out of the Range Rover and beat and cut him up. To what end was all of this chaos beneficial? Bikes get damaged, bikers get hurt and the driver is assaulted.

That group isn't the type of biker I want to ride with or be associated with.
