Stupid what the biker did in the beginning and not needed, but shit!!! that was a bit much from the driver of the SUV. Take a look at this crazy video. 50sec in to see the carnage. I was going to put this on the biker down page, but this needs its own. [https://youtu.be/5ukdkgLYYbw](https://youtu.be/5ukdkgLYYbw) ---

I doubt that driver will ever be convicted. Regardless of who was at fault in the initial accident it isn’t going to take much of a lawyer to convince a jury that the driver felt an immediate and reasonable fear for his/her life once the vehicle is surrounded by 100’s of angry motorcycle riders. The one running up and trying to open the door and get to the driver @5:00 shows that even more, and the end of the video is case closed. - - - Updated - - - Yep, more on the story here: > **[Shocking video of Range Rover crashing through bikers after they surro](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2438620/Shocking-video-Range-Rover-crashing-bikers-surround-vehicle-annual-street-ride.html)** > > Alexian Lien was surrounded by motorbikes in New York City so he drove into them fearing for the safety of his wife and young child in the car.

I hope that isn’t true. The end of the video shows the guys walking away after bashing in the window and maybe getting a couple swings on the driver. People are just pieces of shit. ---

I’m sorry, but that SUV driver did not do anything wrong to instigate what happened. The initial incident was 100% the fault of the motorcylist…you can see he is blocking the rover on purpose and slowing down looking back at the driver and all of his biker buddies like it’s funny and then magically blames the driver when he can’t stop quick enough and bumps him? Then everyone else wants to mess the guy up because he bumped the motorcycle? FUCK THAT. Shit like this is literally the reason I don’t own sportbikes and stick to the vintage/custom shit because I hate the way squids form major groups like this and fuck shit up. ---

> [@Onyx Z32](#): > > These bike “gangs” are really starting to become a problem in major cites. From the comments. Every week I read something like this: > These thugs came across 58th St. on Sunday - weaving in and out of traffic, going against the lights (and driving against traffic), and dozens and dozens of them riding on the sidewalks. Not just one lone rider on the sidewalk…dozens. Driving on the sidewalks. I still can’t believe no one else got hurt. After it happened I dug a little online and found only a couple of stories about them terrorizing the residents upper Manhattan in this same manner, and the consensus seems to be that no one knows what to do about it. Why aren’t the police able to do anything when hundreds of them mass together each week at about the same time/generally the same place/doing the same unsafe and/or illegal things? ---

When the helmet goes in the window and the hand reaches in, after being chased and surrounded by 100+ pissed bikers, slashed tires, with my wife and child in the car… is when the .45 ACP start heading down range. Not just macho shit, either. I’d legitimately be fearing not only for my own life but for my family’s at that stage. Completely out of choices and cornered - any one of these clowns could have a straight razor or worse. ---
