    Actually they just said pretty much the same thing on tv one news. SUV driver was beaten so bad, he will never walk again.

    Does anyone know who is really hurt?

    Well, as far as I can see, it was an accident / incident waiting to happen, because:

    1 - The SUV and the bikers were all driving / riding on the worng side of the road. Just look at all the other road users who had to get out of their way...??
    2 - They ALL went off at an 'ON' ramp, and
    3 - None of them waved

    Call me Mr Picky but I know what I saw....

    Presumably the guys that were hurt know, though I guess that depends how much tramadol they are taking

    I follow the V-Stom forum that has a large US contingent, sentiment is pretty similar to here, just without so many four letter words
    Same mixture of intellectual lightweights and the morally bankrupt who initially tried to defend the bikes then went strangely quiet as they sniffed which way the wind was blowing.

    the reddit threads are good too because its a bit more international. they apparently cut Range Rover guy's face WITH A KNIFE.

    The original video has gone .. but I've seen other versions of it ..

    Dumb stupid fuckers deserve what happened to them ... I can't believe they watched the Range Rover drive over riders and THEN stop in front of it ... the Range Rover had already run over bikes ... what did they think was goign to happen ??? that's just dumb dumb dumb ..

    They got what they deserve .. and so should many have others who were there

    My sympathy is with the Range Rover driver ... I would do the same thing ..

    (And watching how they ride I would not want to be anywhere near them on the road ... at all ever ...)

As a trucker that would deliver in north jersey and New York I am familiar with these gangs. I can hopefully clarify a few things. First the initial "accident" is part of a game they play. They ride in a huge group and will operate together to slow down traffic. Next they pick out high end vehicles targeting people with families in them, the targets will usually be white or Asian. Then one of the riders will do a "brake check" and stop suddenly in front of the target vehicle causing a minor bump. In some cases they will just roll back into their target vehicle. They will then mob the vehicle demanding money and or begin attacking the person inside. It is their practice to also slash the tires to prevent the vehicle from escaping. Truckers are well aware of them and are advised not to stop. You can clearly see in the video how they are well practiced in this style of attack. The police in NY have backed off them after an officer ran one down using his vehicle a few months back. The video was all over the net so I advise you to check it out. These "bikers" ride dirt bikes and sport bikes very few of which are street legal and even fewer have plates. They run red lights, stop signs, and have no regard for the law. If you are ever in this situation do not stop, immediately call the police and do whatever you have to to keep them from boxing you in. NEVER leave the scene of an accident if you are not under direct threat!!! Only run if you have no other choice, and again immediately call the police. This is not rare by any means, the only reason this incident got any attention is because of the helmet cam video being posted on the net. If you see anyone in this situation, call the police. Make no mistake confusing these punks with true bikers. You will rarely if ever see a member of these gangs on a Harley. Do not for a minute blame true bikers for this kind of behavior. Bikers like those involved in the 2 million Bikers to DC Rally are American Patriots and would be among the first to come to your aid. A final note, always be aware of motorcycles and share the road. Check your mirrors and don't ride anyone's bumper, motorcycles have a much smaller profile then a car and are harder to see.

    If you look at the body language of the bikers it starts to make sense.
    At least to me.
    I wonder how many bikers there were taken out by their biker buddies, I mean the riding was so bad some of them must of hit each other.

    I did notice in on of the other videos of their rides another rider punching the shit out of a car driver through the window, you might think this sort of behaviour is not uncommon on their rides.

    I normally stay away from threads like this, but, I watched a bit of stupid vision earlier today, and there was an interview with the wife of one of the injured bikers. Apparently he will never walk again. I am very glad I was not interviewing her. I doubt I could have held back really. These particular members of the biker fraternity, and those like them, are why so many of us have to be extra vigilant when out riding. WTF gives any (biker) road user the right to behave like they did/do?

    No wonder that driver did what he did.

    What a bunch of wankers, deserved the reaction they got frankly!

    I don't wish harm to anyone, nor do I condone what that driver did, but honestly, the injured bikers, and their uninjured counterparts need to stop crying like little girls and grow the fuck up and behave reasonably out and about. Carnage is as carnage does.

    This whole thread and incident backs up what I said about helmet/dashcams earlier... Yeah sure about 5% of the time you will catch someone doing you wrong, but 95% of the rest of the footage is damning of your own actions/driving/riding...
    Sure there's rights and wrongs on both sides but only the wrongdoings are going to be heard in the courthouse...
    Had a bunch of car boyracers try the brake check trick on the motorway one night in front of my truck. About six of them, must have just watched fast and furious. It didn't work out well for them either...

    Not only that but most of these videos lack context and never show the whole picture.
