Bloody hell!  Hope the guys that got hit are ok.

[slimwilly]

Hell, what a mess,


i reckon the range rover must of upset them earlier..


I think he shit himself later,(or her) 


Them bikes will be getting bad press over there

[noggythenog]

Foccin ell!!!, what a mess!......so they seemingly harrass someone in the 4x4 & although you cant see what starts it all exactly i think he bumps one of the bikes early on & then they all surround and block him in.Im guessing that someone then tries to haul him out of the car & he floors it.
 
they then catch him up, surround him again, try to haul him out the car again.....& get run over again!
 
theres too many unknowns from this video but it's not the first pack of bikes in USA getting extremely irate that i've seen recently.nothing like going out for a nice ride with a few mates...in the US it seems go out with your shorts on with 300 mates & ride along the motorway getting focced off & then kicking off!

From what i have read the guy had his wife and kid in the car, looks like he may have just panicked and felt intimidated, no excuse for hitting the bikers but there do seem to be a lot of conflicting reports about it

The clip seems deliberately edited to miss out what pissed the bikers off at first. For all we know they could have just decided to give an SUV a load of shit for the crack.

We can only go from what is shown in the video, and it looks like the SUV driver panics a hell of a lot. TBH I can't blame him for doing what he did, and I can't say I wouldn't have done the same.

Been a few videos of this sort from the states recently. While I'm sure most bikers over there are perfectly OK, there does seem to be these big gangs of street / stunt bikers which behave as a mob. If I were a regular US based biker I'd be very concerned over the impression these types of bikers giving of the average motorcyclist.

[esetest]

Without knowing what started it , it looks like six of one and half dozen of the other , if my car was surrounded by a gang of bikers I don't think I would get out and try to reason with them either , self preservation is a foccin strong instinct .

I just saw this on facebook. What a mess.

Definitely concerned as a biker from the US. This kind of video gets out and makes everyone on two wheels seem like an asshole. I wonder if this group was looking for an excuse to act crazy or harm someone.

Not sure what i would of done, but if my wife and child were in the car then i might of seen red mist as well.
And a car will always win.

In the circumstances who can blame him? I think it starts when the spanner on the white GSXR looking thing at about 27 seconds is dawdling about right in front of him and gets nudged. To be fair the range rover driver was probably distracted looking in his mirrors at the mass crowd behind him... He stops, they surround him and start to attack the car with his family inside and he floors it taking out what looks to be only the bikes, not bikers. Who can blame him? What did they expect when they surrounded him like that the 2nd time?! I think he did well to only knock one over then and he managed to pick the KLE which to be honest probably did the guy a favour. "Here have some valve bounce, that'll show you!" .... Americans.... Maybe he got the last copy of GTA 5 and they all followed him from the shop he bought it from? Either way, they're not doing the "bikers are all big scary thugs that want to hurt you and must be avoided at all costs" image any favours.

I'd do the same.  If I felt my child was in danger I'd run the foccers over too.  When they started smashing the windows in I'd have reversed over a few of them too.
 
And as for the bloke that got run over at 5:00... if you'd just seen someone in a 4x4 run over your mates why the foc would you stop in front of him

+1, my kids safety beats anything. AAC incident (At All Costs).

It'd be nice to know how the car got in the middle of an annual biker rideout in the first place. Something similar happened (without the violence) on the MAG go slow ride the other year and we ended up with a few cars tailgating in the middle of a lot of bikes and we had a police escort. Regardless of that though, it's hard to side with the bikers when they've acted like this.

Wonder if that guy has helmet and leathers cover in his insurance?

[simonm]

My call is the bikers fault.  To brake check a Range rover is stupid in the first place.  If the range rover cut them up, whatever, the bikers should have been mature and just got over it.


Boxing in the car and the intimidation is just immature.  The guy felt under pressure and wanted to get out of a mob of bikers, who can blame him.


These bikers give riders a bad name.

The guy smashing the window? It's not insured if you smash it up intentionally, claiming for that would be fraud.

[maddog04]

mmmm   the only thing missing there was a petrol tanker and the toe cutter   mad max eat your heart out
seriously though.............this and the one posted last week doesn't do us any favours, you have to wonder with helmet cams why the full picture hasn't been painted and I'm not pointing the finger here, just wondering
if its a case of cam man didn't see the start of it then ok maybe a small accident occurred and the driver felt too intimidated to get out with that many bikers around...........even if you wanted to exchange details I think most peeps would stay in the car especially with family involved and it looks like it just escalated to a point where a kick off was the only outcome
sad state of affairs for all concerned
 
 

[bigbluebear]

If you run into the back of someone then its your fault.....what he did after that is inexcusable

[fazersharp]

Dont forget that we are talking about the states. When the driver first flys over the bike/bikes who is to say one of the bikers was not reaching in to his jacket for a gun, so the driver floors it.

more footage

Was a joke 

[adeejaysdelight]

Tell you what, if my wife and kids were in there and I was driving I would drive over every one of those arseholes to keep them safe. I don't intimidate easily, but that would probably do it. A biker gang of 50 or so, and all you have is your car to defend yourself... Simples
