Thanks James for the update...this story really got to me as those bikers were real jerks then when you posted the link to where they were talking about it and "bragging" about their escapades with the man really made me furious! How dare they think they can take over public roads with their stupidity and bad riding antics!!!

Hope the "good ones" come forward!

Den,

Have you been on the toll way on a saturday night?

These guys ride in swarms like bees.

They do in fact block traffic in order to do their fancy little tricks.

I hope these bikers get charged with attempted murder; all of them.

It is perfectly acceptable to want to move away from these dumbasses. Because, when a wheelie fails and he is sliding on the ground, do you want to be the one running him over?

den..you think all those bikers were on their way to church following single file? LOL i doubt it. When there are lots of bikers riding they do tend to ride in all the lanes. Whether they were are were not riding as they should they NEVER should have shot at that man! I love motorcycles and most of the people who ride them, but there are idiots out there who do not obey the laws of the road.

I agree with you den, there are much more idiots in much larger vehicles than a motorcycle. My point is that no matter the cause, they had no right to shoot at anyone. Did the bikers call 911 on the man in the jag? If they felt they were in danger they should have used their cell. Instead they used their gun. Bet they would have learned a better lesson if the man would have pulled one of his own and shot them off their bikes.

Denhou, that's your problem. It's what YOU saw, and in your mindset, bikers can do no wrong. They were occupying ALL lanes of traffic. I don't know what version of Webster's Dictionary you're getting the definition of "lane obstruction," but that video clearly displayed that. No one could pass if they wanted to. If it was an emergency, someone would probably be in the same situation as the driver in the Jaguar. The stunt sportbikers are in the wrong and will always be in the wrong. Hopefully one day, you will come to this realization.

Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see a time stamp on the video so I don't know that THOSE were the guys.

And Jones, I can't say whether 'bikers' can do no wrong because I don't lump them all into one group (as you do). People are people, some bad and some good.

Once again, there's no law that states bikes must ride in some sort of formation. I'll once again post my analogy:
I was riding to work this morning and cars were blocking all three lanes! HOW DARE THEM! Maybe I should just slice through them??? No, you have patience and realize that you won't get there any quicker by doing so.

***Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see a time stamp on the video so I don't know that THOSE were the guys.***

That's right, the Tollway Authority just threw out a video of a group of sportbikers doing wheelies and occupying all lanes of traffic. Denhou, I see you will continue to convince yourself that these sportbikers did no wrong and that people in cars are the nuisance on the roads, quoting you, "cars were blocking all three lanes! HOW DARE THEM!"

And you still have yet to correct the wording.
And you still don't like to provide other quotes; just the ones that make you look good. Peep this one form "justin":
***big group rides are cool and whatnot... but wtf do you expect when 20 squids shutdown 4 lanes of traffic just to make wheelies ...

everytime ive ever been part of a big wheelie pack, etc i always leave one lane open for the people who dont give a BLEEP and just want to get to a destination.

this is the dumb BLEEP that kills me.***

***if i had to be somewhere and 20 squids were chasing the rev limiter (w/ the exception of you and one or two more w/ a bit of control) and blocking traffic, id be rather pissed ... that does not excuse the behavior you were describing (in something other than english) ... BUT that would piss me off to catch a show that sucks and is blocking my progress.***

Even though he just LEAVES ONE LANE OPEN, he still understands you don't obstruct traffic for your own riding pleasure.

My posting the quote from "Tom BLEEP" was an attempt to give the other side of the story not to justify anyone's actions. We heard from the guy in the Jag now let's hear from the other party. Seems to me that the Jag driver was a victim of road rage if anything. I think you'll be suprised when this guy is brought up on wreckless driving and possibly assault charges.

Just so you know, those dents in his car are from him hitting motorcycles. Nobody can kick a car hard enough cause a dent like that while they're seated on a MC. In fact, If you look at the pic you can clearly see a tire mark on the side of the car.

90% of the posts on that forum are admonishing people who do stunts on public roads. Is this what you really want to hear? Most people (even bikers) don't condone it. Happy now? If not, increase your medication and maybe that'll do the trick.

"I'll be happy when you start using that grey mass between your ears, and realize you and the moronic sportbikers do not own the road."

I don't think that I ever mentioned 'owning the road' or even trying to come across as such a person. You're now attempting to insult me which means you've ran out of points to argue on this topic.

Good luck getting your Jaguar fixed and you should hope those bikers don't press charges on you for trying to run them over.
