Attempted Vehicular Homocide
« on: May 30, 2011, 06:55:34 PM »
Be careful out there.  There are still people who think and act like this.  The bikers were driving recklessly but that doesn't warrant what happened here.

Pickup driver tries to kill motorcyclist.
"Sure, if you don't want that bike in your backyard, I guess I'll take it."  "I'll probably just scrap it......"

Wish he would have kept filming when the cops showed up.  I'd like to know what the outcome was..

Thank you for sharing. I can't believe that another person could be that mean. I guess the guy in the truck was/is just a stupid redneck with no life and less than a grade 9 education. Sadly this person will end up killing himself or someone else unless he gets his anger issues under control. I hate to say it but a great many automobile drivers are just plain stupid and careless and don't care about anyone but themselves. I often see people driving cars or trucks cut off people on bikes, just today I saw a man on a big cruiser at an intersection. The man behind him wanted to turn right and was beeping at the man on the motorcycle to move and kept creeping up on him until his car tapped his rear tire. Well the car driver stayed in his car and cowered when he realized that the man on the cruiser was about 6' 2'' 240 pounds. The guy driving the car was a gino looking jerk in a Lexus. he stayed in his car and cowered when the man on the bike approached him. Violence does not solve anything but man sometimes I just want to punch some people right in the nose for being so dam disrespectful and ignorant.
Be carefull out there fellow riders, ride safe and be defencive. The video is proof that a camara is your best friend!

When someone is being a jerk behind you you give a little thumbs up to one o' those bearings.
Kinda like marbles-type action.

    Have you ever been behind a gravel truck ?   Loose rocks bouncing of the road hitting your vehicle and windshield ?  Just imagine a bunch of ball bearings bouncing off the road at highway or freeway speeds.
 It's almost like a metal hail storm. Believe me it works real good.    ;)    ::)

What works even better is a bunch of porcelain ceramic chunks.  Spark plug insulators or just get a potter friend to fire off some high-fire porcelain balls.

 I guess with the ball bearings, I won't have a waiting period to use them, just whip them out of my pocket and let them fly! I hope I never encounter something like that,  most likely I'd try to pull off the road and  A: Let the jerk pass me B: Be ready to rip his balls off if he tried laying a hand on me!

So, did the truck driver end up in jail?

I'll tell ya, your first impulse is revenge, via ball bearings etc etc,
but that would only serve to agravate the situation and then the
truck driver probably Would have killed someone.
