Range Rover vs. Bikers

[FlexdXJ]

Not entirely true. If someone changes lanes, brakes and reduces YOUR stopping distance prior to colliding they are at fault. The majority of rear ends it is the rear persons fault, but there are some incidents where it is not.

IMHO that's what it looks like in the video. The biker in white even turns around to look at his handy work. (Brake check)

I had a lady do that to me today in the Jeep. If she would have caused me to wreck 3 days before I take my Jeep to Moab.....I may have lost it.

Don't bring a bike to a car fight.

[FlexdXJ]

If I were serious I wouldn't be on R3v OT. ;)

But it is a serious subject, because an innocent woman and small child were in great danger of being hurt. Not cool. Gang mentatlity in action right there.

I completely agree.....and holy shit did this thread blow up!

Actually, in California if you rear end someone it is your fault no matter what for not maintaining a safe distance. There was once an accident in front me and I slid into one of the cars...it was deemed my fault. This is not to say the law isn't flawed because it is and scam artists have been doing this for years but thats the law.

I pray one of you find yourself surrounded by 30 adults men and pull your best stunt without a good gun.

There goes your credibility.

I guess he should have just let them drag him out of the car when they yanked the door open the first time huh?

Hit biker (accident due to biker negligence), and other now angry bikers go to yank you out of your car. You wouldn't hit the gas pedal?

Did anyone notice that towards the end of the initial video when the biker gets off his bike and runs to open the driver side door of the Range Rover AND the door opens.

Range Rovers just like many of todays high end vehicles have an anti carjacking saftey door locking feature that should have auto locked all doors including the drivers door.

It begs the question - Did the driver disengaged the lock. If so, why?

The guy in the RR was DUMB plain and Simple you can not play a hero when you have a MOB surrounding you. It's not about looking like a waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles in front of your wife and kids, but it's about being smart, playing smart and winning another day. You don't have a fucking gun or anything substantial to disable/eliminate at least 75% of the threat or the will to do it. In-fact He is very lucky to be alive, that he dealt with a bunch of guys like that and non of them had a gun to shoot him with?


Bikes can outrun and outmaneuver suvs. So if ur surrounded by 30-50 obvious daredevil andraneline junkies, got ur family n the car, The SMARTEST thing you could do is to keep calm. you may want to just move to the right n let the Bastards by. or STOP, lock your doors. and call the cops...get the instigator biker plate number

You don't have a a fucking gun, you're with the most precious thing in your life (your family) and you are you're overwhelmingly out numbered. THINK your way out of it. Violence is not, NOTT going to get you out of that situation. Don't put your family more in danger by going on a high speed chase on highway with fucking bikers.

R#v....guys in here talking about, they gonna do this, gonna do that..reverse, run more of them over. STFU!!! and Use your common sense. Stop with the hero shit. Stop trying to play "I'm a tough guy" (I've got a tatoo/I know mma) get killed in real life for dumb decisions. Even a Cop knows when to back off and call for back up. before a situation they know they won't be able to handle by himself/herself gets out of control, and as a result could get hurt or killed.
I pray one of you find yourself surrounded by 30 adults men and pull your best stunt without a good gun. If it goes well, Come back to r3v to let us know how it goes

And? Crime, weather, etc all play a part.

You think there isn't tons of unattentive soccer moms in SUV's, teen girls texting and the like here as well?

The "We have the worse roads/drivers/politicians" angle is so overplayed as to be meaningless hyperbole at this point.

We are ranked 8th worst city for drivers.

Our roads are narrow and over built. Our highways are almost always crowded due to wrecks and near wrecks. Ive been to Tulsa actually had a lake house there off Grand Lake. There just is not anything like Miami drivers and that is the reason insurance is expensive.

Crime actually is not as bad as people think it is, even though we did have the first zombie face eating attack in the US. :)

Tulsa is quite a bit different than Miami or the Beach.... Want to have a bit of fun, try to register for auto insurance with a Miami Dade address. Then compare that to what you pay in Tulsa. There is a reason for that :)

And how you've flown under the radar for so long is insane given your fucking idiotic presence in this thread.

I've been under your so-called 'radar' for so long because I'm not a gossip queen... ;D

[Vedubin01]

I used to ride as well, I have well over 35k miles on the street and track on sport bikes.

If you almost get hit once a week, you are doing an incredibly poor job of "riding like everyone is out to kill you." In that number of miles I had maybe 2 close calls.

I highly doubt that these guys went out to slash tires or cause issues. They were just all meeting and going for a spirited ride.


Today on my way home from work I almost was stuck by a SUV. The guy did not pay attention to traffic and just thought he would pull across to the other side to park. I saw this coming and came to a really fast stop. Standing the bike up on the front tire. I got off the bike and went to the driver and told him what a fuck he was for not looking and paying attention. That his lack of attention almost cost me my life.

A Miami Beach cop saw me get off the bike and approach the truck yelling at the guy. The cop sided with me and told me to calm down a bit. Since there was no accident the cop could not do much, other than check the other guy out.

Bikes get really pissed off with people that are on phones and texting while driving. I can say I almost get hit once a week from people not paying attention. I can understand the anger that people feel when things like this happen. People need to get off their phones and realize that they are driving!

Of course the fucktards in this video, lets ignore this exact same group got shut down last year when the rode to their destination.

No plates, guys on quads on the sidewalks, do some more research on who you are defending before you just blindly go against the cagers because you ride.

Oh, well I wasn't smart enough to look at your location. Comprehension is beyond your species so I will take a pass...

It's too easy....
