i've been riding for close to 40 years. EVERYONE in this video is in the wrong. by the look of the road, there were many areas that were prolly posted at 30-35. these guys were clearly exceding that.usually the only time rice burners are filming is to show you how far they can do a wheelie or how far they can get over on the "chicken strip" of the back tire. i'm not doggin on bikers,just making an observation.
That's what these bikes were made to do. They don't have 'chicken strips' if ridden correctly. My bike (a cruiser) has very wide chicken strips. My sons (a crotch rocket/sport bike) has none. The bike yearns to be ridden that way.
the truck driver was definitly in the wrong. the fact that he got a DUI impaired his judgment. he was most likely tired of the crotch rockets burning up the roads. i only saw other rice burners in the video, another observation. he should have made repeated calls to the sheriff and the road may have been staked out. maybe he already tried that with no results.
I tire of 'granny drivers' slowing down the course of a ride or drive, but that doesn't give me the right to lill them by running them off the road. He should keep calling the sheriff, not become some redneck vigilante wannabe.
i can't find a side to land on on the this one. maybe the truck drivers kids had a near miss with a bike which would even out the frustration.
Irrelevant. He's still an *******.
