I just saw on one of the cable news networks (none of which I trust) that the SUV/biker story has changed. Allegedly, the SUV driver cut over from the left lane to the center lane hitting one of the bikers. Then he proceeded to hit a 2nd biker. This all took place before the video we see starts. Then, the first stop happened where the SUV driver gunned it and ran over the biker #3, who was trying to clear the way, severely injuring him. The chase starts and we all know the ending.
As bad as the video looks for the bikers I had a gut feeling there would be another side to the story. We all know how cager's treat bikers. They don't realize how fragile someone riding a bike is. They don't give a second thought to putting us in harm. Would the SUV driver have acted the same way had it been a bunch of road racing cars pulling shenanigans? I doubt it. This is why I give the benefit of doubt to the bikers.
Still, I think the bikers may have created a bad situation. I don't think they targeted a car driver for no reason. Why would they? I think it's a prime example of road rage. Created by bikers and escalated by the SUV driver, and finished by bikers.
well well well.... a driver answering a cliched racial type that cant drive , now 'allegedly' swerved into the bikes before the main show....
im with you on this pliskin.... heard a lot about the rider 'group' on the web etc ... but they dont seem to just randomly target someone.... of course sometimes it might be for a minor perceived infraction against them.... but like you .. i had a slight feeling that old mate in the SUV wasnt all snowy white and innocent like the media was trumpeting!! :icon_rolleyes:
I wont cast judgement without knowing the facts. right now its hearsay. im still stickin to the brake check story for time being

itsnt it amazing tho, like ht erodney king video of times past, we only see a segment of a video?, would like to see if there is more. there quite possibly is, the bikers could be the culprit, so could the suv driver. if HE is to blame. he is a fool for putting the family into harms way. If youre goin targeting, drop the family off first THEN go do it.
