Yeah, I saw it shared by another guy on Facebook earlier, then I watched it on LiveLeak.  I wonder how he ended up in the middle of their group: did they try to go around him and then slowed down, or did he try to drive through their group and that's why they tried to stop him.  If he was paying attention, he wouldn't have hit the first guy, but what the bikers did was a bit much to say the least.  Had the RangeRover tried to plow through the middle of the group and intentionally run them all over, maybe they would have been justified, but as it is...

Nice of them to incriminate themselves by shooting video...

They should all be sentenced to 5 years on restricted mopeds...

Yea makes me sick too EJID.  As Serow pointed out I hope they shot themselves in the foot by posting the vid up, maybe the authorities can identify some of them via their tags.  It's a pet peeve of mine seeing groups of hooligans riding through traffic doing stunts and driving recklessly putting themselves and innocent people in danger for no other reason then for the thrill of it  Angry

Makes me wonder, how many were only going after
the suv due to say, "following the leader"
Shows me that again the stupidity of some make it
hard on the rest of us.
Their lucky the suv driver didn't seem to have a gun.

Looked to me like the bikes overtook the SUV & the guy who9 got run over hollered something at the driver, then pulled in front real close & slowed down,, TOO BAD,, he got run over,, I feel nothing for that fool.,
The driver is blameless as far as Im concerned & coulda run them all down & I woulda felt nothing,,buncha jerks,,
Thats Mob Mentality in action, Run with crowds, wind u0p in it,,

Not enough video leading up to the event to know what happened.  The SUV driver may have done something as simple as driving 5 mph below the speed limit in a center lane......and that caused the first guy to confront him and get run over (The SUV driver may have been on cruise and not expecting someone to pull in front of him and slow down.....not sure....I have to go back and see if the bike slowed because the guy used his brakes....or just let off the throttle quickly).  At that point the Mob started their own enforcement......and the fellow reacted in fear for the safety of him and his family.  I am sure that I would want to be in the company of sane people and not a pack of angry testosterone filled youngsters......so trying to flee to safety seemed like a good choice at the time.

It will be interesting to see how this turns out, and who gets charged and prosecuted.  Not sure who is right.....but there certainly are no winners in this one.

NOTE:  I read on that website for the blinking brake light that operates based on deceleration (and not on the brake switch).....that motorcycles slow down far faster than cars when you let off the throttle, and people in cars may not know you are slowing down quickily if you only let of the throttle and don't touch your brakes.  A motorcycle rider can slow down far faster than a car when just coasting....and when you don't use brakes the car driver is not instanlty aware you are slowing down.

Good find old_rider I was wondering how it all ended up. I guess that first bump was what caused it. Either way, groups like this trying to take over the road in a mob type mentality give more bad rap to any bikers in general than receiving fans for their stunts. If they want to do stunts/perform they need to do that in the safety/confines of closed courses/private facilities - not on public roads.

Whenever Mobs take over.......I have little patience for the guilty.  Breaking shop windows, looting, burning cars......I just don't understand why we allow this to happen.  Sometimes it is just a sports game or holiday celebration that sets the mob into action.

If bikers want to take over Time Square so they can break the traffic rules and cause anarchy......"Book em Danno!"

1st mistake was running after the 1st hit.
after that, he was hit&run and deserves their anger.
He should have stayed in his car dialing 911, he should of been ok.
and if they started slamming his car he would of been justified in running after.  using his car as a deadly weapon in self defense.

I agree....but I am curious what caused the first biker to want to take on this SUV driver.  It may have some bearing on why the driver felt so threatened.  Something happened that caused this biker to single this fellow out.

I was assuming that the SUV hit the first rider because the first rider was making reckless lane changes and other moves that put the rider in danger from the SUV.  Totally that rider's fault since the whole mob was out to hotdog it on their crotch rockets.

I've seen similar riders (and perhaps even some of the same ones that were in this pack) on the D.C. area beltway, zooming along past the other vehicles (cars, trucks, mini-vans, 18 wheelers and such) and dangerously and recklessly weaving in and out of the lanes and lane-splitting even though it isn't legal.  Every now and then one of them will pop a wheelie and showboat even more.  Those are the times I wish I regularly used a dash-cam because I'd take the footage into the nearest police barracks and let 'em have it as evidence to use against those clowns.

Like others have said here, I sort of wish the SUV driver had backed up over the bikers when they were trying to surround him, or that he'd just tried to plow right over a few more of them.  Given their behavior, I don't feel much compassion for them.
