[QUOTE="bluehdmc, post: 1205052, member: 18471"] Having ridden for years and having ridden in groups, I think what isn't seen in the video is what happened before. I've seen many cars try to drive between a group of bikes. Yes the bikers were all over the road, but I'm sure they were traveling at a good rate of speed. In the NYC area people are JERKS, they'll pass you up in a tractor-trailer, cut in front of you, (the truck is in the middle lane), then put their signal on, slow down so they can get in the right lane for their exit. I've ridden in groups of around 10-15 bikes, all mature motorcyclists, no hot dogs and have seen cars start to pass the group on the left then merge into the middle of the group to take an exit, and the group was traveling at or near the posted speed limit. In this area everyone want's to be "first", no one wants to be behind a truck, group of bikes, or anyone. People have no respect for motorcycles, or trucks or pedestrians. I really think fault lies with both parties, I'm sure the first biker was brake checking the SUV for driving through the group. Dumb move on his part, like bringing a knife to a gun fight. Bike vs SUV, SUV gonna win every time. The other day I was driving down a 4 lane non divided highway, about 4 or 5 bicyclists were riding in front of me in the right lane 2 abreast, this is illegal for them to do. What would everyone have said if someone hit them, of course if would have been the car drivers fault because 2 jerks on a bicycle wanted to have a conversation on a busy street/highway? I've just come to the conclusion people are STUPID! [/QUOTE]
