I just generally have a distaste for motorcyclists like I do cyclists (not commuters, but lycra clad douche lords).

Sure, there are decent folk out there who ride bikes, but I see far too many lane splitting, neglecting to indicate, casually drifting between lanes on multi-laned highways and riding on the coat-tails of drivers.

BUT there are also an equal ratio of fuckbag car drivers.

Just human nature I suppose no matter what vehicle you drive.

just from my short experiance riding (although I clock up about 140K a day on my bike) the most terrifying thing I have done was try to ride home in heavy traffic without lane splitting - seriously, start/stop traffic on a bike (when you are just at the limit you can balance) and having to constantly fiddle the throttle, clutch and brake is really really hard.

So it turns out the gang of bikers were a bunch of dicks. Their stupid behaviour caused one of them to end up in hospital.

SUV diver did the right thing by trying to get the hell out of there. I'd have done the same.

Police believe some of the bikers belong to a gang known as Hollywood Stuntz. They said the motorcyclists were part of a planned but unauthorized event in which hundreds of riders gathered outside of Manhattan, with the intent of driving into Times Square en masse.


Quote
Christopher Cruz, 28, of New Jersey, was charged with reckless endangerment, reckless driving, endangering the welfare of a child and menacing.

Quoting police sources, the New York Daily News reports that while out riding with a mob of bikers Cruz swerved in front of a SUV and caused the driver to bump his back tire.  


The bikers who beat up the SUV driver have also been charged.

Hmmmm, I disagree that the driver of the SUV shouldn't be charged - if the motorcyclists can be charged for assault after pursuing someone who was fleeing an accident (especially after witnessing that person run over a bunch of their friends), then surely the driver can be charged with assault with a deadly weapon (the SUV). My point here is that in both instances, illegal actions were commited and in both, there are exceptional circumstances and yet only one has been charged to go before the courts to decide guilt/responsibility.

I also suspect that there is more to the story - I suspect that after the bump, the SUV driver stayed in his vehicle, didn't get out to talk with the person he just bumped (like you should after any accident, even if it was caused by someone being a dick) - I think this is what would have set the group off in the first place.

And before you ask - I don't have anything to back my suspicions up - just conjecture.

Because the driver of the SUV wasn't out driving looking for bikers to antagonize? whereas the bikers were out looking to cause shit and be a nuisance? Edit: not to mention they probably have previous convictions for similar behaviour? half of the bikes I've seen in other videos aren't even road bikes, just Motorcross bikes with no plates :/

After watching their youtube videos which show what the 'gang' do whilst riding on public roads, I'm not surprised only the bikers were charged. Check liveleak for footage that has since been removed from youtube by the uploader.. you'll see what these clowns are/were 'proud' of doing on public roads.

The driver didn't 'assault' anyone. He was trying to flee a dangerous situation and the bikers were blocking the exit.

It would be like a bunch a people antagonizing an elephant. That elephant will end up trampling the people just to get out of there.

No, the first thing is you should pull over to the side of the road. Which the bikers prevented the driver from doing because they all stopped like dicks in the middle of the road blocking the driver from going anywhere.

Do go on.

I use to lead 30-50 riders "en-masse" to various Christchurch destinations. Many people called us a gang. I'd do my best to pull a silly face.

Actually pyro you should hit up the WNR, I think they've started up again. Wednesday night, 6pm at BK lounge on moorehouse.
