motociclista Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) Caught a quick glimpse of this on the TV news. Didn't get a real good look at the bike but it was definitely a silver BMW oilhead boxer, and I think it was a R1150GS, but not sure on the model since I just saw it quickly.So the question arises: Are there any armed BMW owners on this forum who haven't been heard from lately? Edited October 1, 2012 by motociclista Never mind, saw the photo above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saacattack Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 lesson learned. Bet the driver will keep an eye out for motorcycles from now on.Although, it's pretty ridiculous it happened. I'm interested to get more info about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaDoc Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) Pickup truck tries to kill motorcycle rider. Rider tries to get away. Truck begins pursuit. Rider shoots driver. How's that for a theory? Possible May be just shooting the tires off would have been good enough unless of course he lost it when he got rammed by the truck multiple times in an attempt to kill Edited October 1, 2012 by NinjaDoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Don't shoot at tires. Bullets can actually bounce off. Bullets will bounce off of anything if given half a chance.About an hour later, an SUV and motorcycle collided at College and Brookwood Road on Columbus East side. Not a good afternoon.

2fat2fly Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 If any of you get a chance, read this article about the shooting. Actually read the comments below the article. The first tool to respond is the one I'm talking about.http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/life_and_entertainment/2012/09/30/delaware-shooting.htmlSpecifiically this:"Rec Oncile (Reconcial)Hmmm. If the shooter didn't have a gun with him, this wouldn't have happened.2012-09-30 19:17:36.0"I thought about creating a log in and lighting that one up, But I don't want to waste my time.

donkason Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Truck pokes in left lane. Bike cannot get by because truck decides he will not pass car on right. Bike finally blows by on right. Flips off Truck. Truck decides to get on bikes ass. Bike pulls into Auto Zone. Idiot Truck Guy takes Crow bar or some other object to a gunfight and gets ride in helicopter.That is plausible in that area. I drive it all the time and people are known to do the screw around. Delaware is also full of D-Bags that would pull a crowbar. I'm sure he didn't go terminator style and shoot on the bike. We will see what comes of it. Until then we shall enjoy speculation. And if we didn't have cars we wouldn't have road rage so lets ban cars.No arrest made means it was likely self defense and they are investigating. Plus people that roll a BMW bike aren't known as thugs that fly off the handle and kill at will.

ReconRat Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 It's only 0.4 mile to the Delaware police station. I suspect some one might have been trying to get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokey Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I have had more issues with pickup truck owners/drivers than anything else, many seem to think the road belongs to them, and especially get irate when a motorcycle blows by them. I am typically armed with something when I ride, and I sure hope and pray I never have an escalation this extreme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 The first responding officers located one victim who had been shot in the head,....The victim’s injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew95gt Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Crazy, I had just ridden that same road that the altercation started on about an hour prior to that (State Rt. 42 from Delaware to Plain City), hope it was a self defense scenario and not some vengance thing. It will be interesting to get the details on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buildit Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Sounds like the motorcyclist chased the pickup down. Not sure what transpired before they hit the city limit but it doesn't sound like it will go over well as a self defense incident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDBGoalie Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 The first responding officers located one victim who had been shot in the head,....The victim’s injuries are not believed to be life-threatening....Ricochet off the skull, a shot in and out clean through the cheek, or a hit to the jaw. Not as uncommon as you think. As someone said earlier, bullets love to bounce off things.I'd say the truck driver caused the incident. Likely the driver got agitated at something the biker did ("Oh no, he passed me. Now I'm mad enough I should kill him") and chased him until he was boxed in, and then tried to run him over. Eventually the biker had enough and found a safe place to stop to confront the driver, and the driver pulled a weapon. Good thing the biker was faster on the draw.

It always seems to be some jerk in a busted F150 or a Dodge with nuts hanging off the back of it. Apparently because their bucket is worth as much as the accessories installed on it they cop a serious attitude. Also thou shall not pass or you will be tailgated and you will respect the power of his rusty heap.

sporttour Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 It takes two parties to create and escalate an incident. Be the better person and walk away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
