MadMax33 Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 This is what makes me want to just track my 1000RR and get a cruiser for the streets. A nice 1400 Intruder would fit the bill just fine. The temptation to haul ass is just too much when you ride a 150hp bike. I could see myself losing my cool and destroying this gentleman with nothing more than my hands. Sportbikes are hated more than any other biker demographic, it seems to me. It's too bad that I am hooked to superior engineering and the fun factor of nice sweepers.

blue03636 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 but with the harleys you have to deal with it for what seams like forever since they are going like 5mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scruit Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Any new information? All we have to go by right now is that unsubstantiated "the pickup driver was arrested" blurb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) **edit i stand corrected - that quote i guess is a fake...a little digging, heres a quote he posted on another forumHey guys,Yes its me.We are working with the local authorities to bring this POS to justice.They are not interested in the double yellow pass.It was a good pass.The truck was slow moving and it was within the law.No arrest made yet.The truck was not resistered to the driver.This guy had it out for sportbikes ue to some one on one allegedly running his mom of the road at some point.Per douchbag.He would have attempted something if we passed or not.Really wanted to rip his head off but refrained as other people passing would have witnessed 2 bikers beating on one guy.It would have made a bad situation worse and I wanted the police to handle it.An a$$ wopping fades after a while,legal action can hang around a while.

Scruit Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 the guy who posted that "blurb" was the guy who recorded the video....i believe him over whatever source youre looking for, im pretty sure he would be the first to know the current standing since he is a part of the process and will have to testify in court most likelyWe were *told* that the person who posted that blurb was the one who recorded the video. We have also been told a few different versions including the vidoe was turned over to the sheriff but never watched. I also heard one quote that the local sheriff told a biker that if HE would run him off the road if he saw him pass on a double-yellow.I'm looking for a news report or court docket. That's pretty reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 you got in here before my edit - i did a couple minutes of digging and found out the actual status for you...no arrests made so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I also heard one quote that the local sheriff told a biker that if HE would run him off the road if he saw him pass on a double-yellow..typical asshole fucking American if you ask me. What is passing on a double yellow hurting that person? Does it really affect their drive or threaten their life? I'm betting 99 times out of 100 it doesn't so what is drivers problems with it? I'll never understand the common people of this dumbass country who's IQ doesn't even equal how many toes I have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alienpi Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 One of the comments at autoblog suggests throwing sand in the tight corners. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the locals do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-bus Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I'm not typically your tuff-guy poster, but getting out of his truck and walking towards me with a weapon in his hand would have been a life-changer for both of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
