That whole experience could have gone much worse. I thought the truck driver was going to pull out a firearm.

But they can fly crop dusters! :frown:
The way that guy drove was so outrageous. Hope he goes to jail/ license revoked

Wouldn't doubt that he didn't have one.
What the fuck, crazy ass truck driver.
[QUOTE=RubberDuckeh;30128647]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.[/QUOTE]
When you get that many dumbs, I think it's time to realized how dumb that sounds.

This is all I can agree with you on here. It is against the law to overpass with a double yellow line and not even bikers should have the right to break that law to get around a truck that's slowing you down a smidge. And yes, it seems to be a normally quiet backroad that doesn't want to get interrupted by loud motorcycles blaring up and down the road repeatedly, which I guess if the truck driver wanted to, he could've filed a grievance against instead of trying to kill one of them.
I'm not sure if they did or not, but if they sent this video to the police, would they also get in trouble, because of speeding?
Was that guy carrying a machete around 6:45?
I swear he was holding a gun to his head near the end of the video.

I imagine they'd get in trouble for speeding in the first place, but all the offenses committed while trying to avoid dying horribly would be excused.
On top of that, a hefty speeding ticket or two is still worth bringing that fucker to justice.
I'm a motorcyclist and this shit is wrong on so many levels.
Who does he think he is, some kind of road warrior? Biker crossing the double yellow? Better squish his ass. If it really bothers him so much, get the plate and fine them. But going all psycho, pushing them off the road? No way in hell you can tell me that is acceptable in any form. That guy needs his license taken, if he tries to kill people with it.
Only in the South.

"Someone is going over the speed-limit? ON MY ROAD? Quick, better commit a felony!"
My Father rides. I'm glad we don't live in the South afer watching this.
I'm not condoning what the truck driver did, because it only made the situation worse, but I can completely understand why he would be pissed off. The two bikers thought they were entitled to do whatever they want just because they're small and fast. And judging by the fact that they're recording things in the first place, and the fact that they talked shit to the guy once he stopped, I'm guessing they're just as dickish as the guy who was driving the truck.
Both parties are wrong the way I see it. The truck driver shouldn't have reacted the way he did, but the bikers shouldn't have been such obnoxious cocks in the first place. They can have their motorcycle fun without driving everyone else nuts in the process.

[QUOTE=XanKriegor;30127108]Seems people who drive F150s are crazy bastards, I got hit by some bitch who was speeding and texting, driving an F150.[/QUOTE]
My cousin and his friend were almost hit by men in an F150. You might be on to something.
If that guy had tried to run me off the road in a bigger, more dangerous vehicle than mine, and then wielded a weapon at me in a threatening manner after dismounting from his vehicle, I'd shoot him. Previously displayed homicidal tendencies plus physical threats just make my trigger finger all kinds of itchy.
I hate motorcyclists, but that guy is just fucking crazy. Motorcyclist passes you on the road, you curse repeatedly at them from inside the car and move on with life, not try to kill them.
Road rage much? No need to get upset over a motorcycle passing by. Those aren't even as bad as the Harley's... I hate them so much too loud.
