Default Unbelievable: Fool in a Pickup tries to kill Motorcyclist- *Video*

What a mad SOB!
The clip is of a a couple of riders who were out enjoying a nice Sunday ride when one of them passed a red truck, who then tried to run the rider off the road into a tree, and then chased him down. The truck driver was driving like a maniac! The driver then gets out of the truck and pulls out a crow bar.

Bunch of rednecks. Those motorcycle riders were obviously going too fast, and they passed him on a double yellow, right? Does not give the redneck in the right to swerve into the guy and chase him, but those riders need to keep that on a track.

I agree with you Neal.
Not trying to be technical here but if the Pickup driver has a problem with riders (or anyone else) crossing double lines or even passing him/her, then they should take it up with the local law enforcement agency.
And there a plenty of people out there who take offense to being overtaken.
Some to the extreme. Like this guy.
If you notice in the video, he nearly has a head-on with other motorcyclists coming the other way.
And a truck.
Wonder if alcohol is playing a part in this also. Or Drugs.

You don't see much else here in Spain on a saturday&sunday afternoon Neal, bikers here don't pay much attention to the speed limits (unless there's a camera placed ) and they sometimes overtake you any way possible.

The pickup driver clearly was having a bad day or just has a hatred towards bikers...anyway the guy clearly overreacted and is an ass in my book. If some biker overtakes me in a inappropiate fashion I might honk my horn and that's it not trying to kill'em . That the bikers didn't respected the speed limit and road signs is for the coppers to penalize and not the angry trucker.

I never try to make a car uncomfortable when overtaking him and do it where it is allowed but when he tries to knock me off the road I knock his teeth out.

Sack in the driving licences for at least one year.

From ALL of them.

And the manouvers of the truck to me are attempted murder.
