Dude didn't die.
But as riders I think we gotta be able to call each other out on our nonsense. This guy stopped at an unsafe distance infront of an SUV. Who among us in the thread could say that was a smart move?
IMO, I can't side with the bikers. They were in mob mode where they own the roads. Dude was coasting along with his family while they took up all lanes of the highway. He probably panicked when he bumped into the dude's rear tire. Then dude probably realized the gravity of the situation where he was surrounded by dozens of motorcycles, engines revving, and one of the front runners hopping off the bike to walk up on him and his family...
I have love for anyone that rides. Sports bikes, cruisers, choppers, hogs, dirt bikes, mopeds not so much ( )... But I just can't side with dudes that ride like this. It shows a lack of respect for the road IMO.
exactly (except for the moped thing, if you're on 2; respect!)...
i been reading some of the reports, none really mention what happens to the riders that were hit? how is the rider? is he going to be good?
i wondering what the driver really could have done differently? the rider brake checks him, the driver in the range doesn't react quickly enough & hits the rider, at which point the driver does actually stop the range but it looks like the mob mentality kicked in...
