Heh, I missread it and thought that he would be driving a fighter jet. :v:
i wish i could hear what they were saying at the 6 minute mark
Bet he was drunk. The guy in the F150, I mean.
Your shit's goin' to jail!
Some people these days...
Woo... is there like, no speed limit on these roads in America?
[QUOTE=JakeAM;30124919]Woo... is there like, no speed limit on these roads in America?[/QUOTE]
If it's far enough from civilization, yeah. You can go as fast as you want, nobody gives a shit.
But we don't, since it's not safe.
He clearly had a problem with motorcyclists. What was he holding when he got out of the car?

A wrench
Any info on if that piece of shit was arrested?
I say lynch his ass.
Well, since the guy who was recording this calling the police and told them the license plate number, I'm sure this dickhead is hitting the slammer.
Seems people who drive F150s are crazy bastards, I got hit by some bitch who was speeding and texting, driving an F150.

I drive an F150, I'm not a crazy bastard. :smith:
They were both breaking the law but that dude in the truck deserves to never drive again.
Oh wow, the fact that he had an ATV on his truck just made it so fucking ironic, it wasn't even funny.
Some car drivers really are twats, I hate it when they ride my arse when I'm on my bike. :saddowns:
But on the other hand some bikers have a deathwish.
I've driven through Bracken several times. People there are fucking retarded.
The guy has every right to be pissed, in the beginning of the video there's a sign that says "35 MPH", i'm not sure it's the speed limit but at the very least it's stating there's a 35 MPH corner and I highly doubt there is a speed limit above 55 on that road.. Plus the fact the guy crossed a double yellow to pass the truck, you don't pass like that ESPECIALLY when you're in the middle of a couple corners and on a couple hundred pound chunk of steel that won't do much to protect you from a couple thousand pounds of steel colliding with your body.
The area is at least semi-residential, it's a "back road" in farm country but they still pass a lot of houses. The guy seems to dislike the fact they're ripping down the street on their loud, annoying ass crotch rockets and crossing double yellows to pass trucks.
Basically, everyone is focusing on the truck driver being an asshole.. Sure, he went all vigilante hillbilly bullshit and handled the situation like absolute shit but he didn't actually intend to kill the guy, if he did the guy would be dead. The guy in the truck (seemingly, to me) has every right to be pissed and, all considered, the beginning of the video says lots of guys on motorcycles like to ride down that road.. Maybe lots of them are just as fucking stupid as the other one and cross double yellows to pass while doing obscene speeds on a road with houses on it.
They did an illegal pass which likely angered the guy in the truck. But still, NO reason to start endangering people's lives over it. Just shrug it off and let it go.
I hope the moron in the truck went to jail.

Hey a guy is speeding! Let us kill him!

He tried to run him off the road. In a car that had about 20 times the mass. If that car would have even tapped him the guy would have flown off the road. Going at that speed the motorcyclist would have been killed easily.
[QUOTE=RubberDuckeh;30128647]The guy has every right to be pissed[/QUOTE]
and that's pretty much the only right he had in this situation.
attempted vehicular homicide > pretty much any road violation
They all seemed to be breaking all kinds of rules.

That would have been much more interesting.

Alpha to Base, requesting permission to fire on motorcyclists. *For what reason?* Being dicks. *Permission granted.* Hillbilly nightmare right there, grant it they know how to even fly a damn fighter jet.
I don't understand, what happened? The guy in the truck tried to run the motorcyclist in front of him over the whole 6 minutes?
[QUOTE=General J;30131560]I don't understand, what happened? The guy in the truck tried to run the motorcyclist in front of him over the whole 6 minutes?[/QUOTE]
Pretty much.

Oh boy here we go. So yes, the driver of the motorcycle did commit multiple offenses, from driving too fast, to overtaking on a section of nonpassable road, but he did so responsibly. He passed quickly so as to avoid trying too much in the wrong lane, as well as passing in a clearly visible section of road. He could easily see oncoming traffic, so there was no immediate danger to anyone at that point. They also never crossed the lines when driving in turns.
The driver of the truck on the other-hand, committed terrible atrocities. First-off the F150 weighs about 5000 pounds whereas a motorcycle weighs about 500 pounds with a human. Motorcycles are much more nimble, and stop shorter than cars not to mention a fucking massive truck. The driver of the truck crossed lanes at excessive speeds, and on blind corners. Good luck getting 5000 lbs to change direction at high speeds while turning. He also tried to kill the guy passing, which is attempted vehicular homicide. He also endangered many more lives than those motorcyclists. If the motorcycle crashed at those speeds, it would be the cyclist that would most likely take the damage. A Ford F150 will destroy an oncoming car.
Once again, yes, the cyclists did commit a crime, but it was in a safe way in an area where there would be minimal risk of harming someone. Everyone occasionally drives faster than the speed limits and likes to enjoy a drive. Hell I do it all the time, but I always make sure to do it an a relatively deserted road, and make sure to corner wide only when it's safe.

Oh and not to mention the truck driver was seriously outclassed chasing a motorcycle. There's no way he's catching up to that thing. What he did was stupid, not only because of everything I just said, but because it would be impossible for him to catch up.
