============

In my experience, there is a direct relationship between the number of riders in a group <-> individual riders' insanity. Actually, given the way they are riding, I am surprised they aren't taking each other out.

Yeah, this really helps our image.

Not sure exactly why did it all happen. Some say he hit a bike and didnt stop, some that he called police that they obstruct the traffic and some say that he ran over a bike and took off. Wonder what the real story is.
But no matter what was the reason of this madness its not the wild wild west, you can not serve "justice" as you pleased

nha, i live here, super bike riders are generally a bunch of dicks, especially in the pack mentality.

Funny thing is, his video will help get his buddies convicted...
Maybe that is his intention, then good for him.

You hit the nail on the head! Pack riding like that looks like a flash mob, or a mass organized civil disobedience, than a bunch of guys out for a day of fun.

If I get into a minor accident under normal circumstances, than I would expect to pull over and deal with the police and insurance companies. These guys completely surrounded the guy in what looked like a very threatening manner after the initial hit. I would not want to deal with a mob, and as we all know the US police saying, "when seconds count, the police are just minutes away!" The guy had a 5 month old, and his wife I read later.

More proof that we are not all created equal no matter where you are from or what country you live in. These 白痴 do not help the image motorcycle riders anywhere.

Not good for bike riders in general but it did happen in New York wear you can expect the unexpected 9/11 !

In pack riding accidents are more likely, unless you can go single-file and leave a 5 second gap, but nobody ever does that.

They arrested this punk today:

"Christopher Cruz, 28, of Passaic, NJ, was charged with reckless endangerment, reckless driving, endangering the welfare of a child and menacing"

update: The reckless endangerment is in the first degree and punishable up to 7 years just on this charge alone.

No mention anything was started prior to this. Apparently they were just trying to clear the road so they could do tricks or what not...

And go figure, here's the unfortunate punk that got run over...

His family says he got off the bike to 'help someone else who had fallen', not to do any of the banging on the vehicle or tire slashing of course.
ya seems legit... looks like that kind of caring guy... for X'st sake...
(Never mind the fact that there is no report or evidence of any kind of collision that resulted in anyone 'falling')

"Pix-11 reported that the NYPD received more than 200 phone calls about the bikers on Sunday."
Hey, these could have been all calls of positive praise, right?

i have no idea how any of you are defending this shit

**Lao Jia Hou** · 10-02-2013, 12:29 AM

My personal view is that the RR driver showed incredible restraint with these scum.

Think about it, you have taken your wife and child out for a Sunday drive.

This shit happens from these clowns.

You pull over and you are mobbed, with people beating on your vehicle, trying to get inside, and also trying to slash your tires.

Are you going to sit there? No f'n way, unless you are brain dead!

And in the ensuing "chase", not once does the RR driver make any motions to knock bikers off/away. How many drivers, being swarmed by hornets, might not be tempted to swat at a few? I'd say that if those low-lifes on the bikes were, instead, driving the RR, they'd probably be trying to score as many points as possible by swerving each time a bike got too close.

Yeah, in my books, kudos to the RR driver for maintaining his cool in a terrifying situation.

What a disgrace. These scum have effectively destroyed all the work that motorcycle organizations have done in their attempt to have motorcycling portrayed in a positive light.
