From what I've read it's sad if the rider is paralyzed or whatever and maybe he wasn't one of the muppets intimidating this guy and being an arsehat in general but unfortunately wrong place wrong time I doubt the RR guys intention was to paralyze him but if I had 20+ blokes attacking my car with family in it id be getting the fk out of there it appears undisputed the bikers started it. Not necessarily the guy who got hurt but yeh can't blame the bloke for his actions they didn't seem interested in exchanging details in the first place

Great post you flog. I'd love to see you stay calm and composed and pull out your notepad to write down the plates of the guy that just drove his 2tonne car over your mates, in the process of a hit and run.

Personally I wouldn't have attempted a hit and run, potentially killing more people in the process, but that's just me.

did you see the rest of the info coming in about what the bikers had been doing prior? they dont paint the riders as being the great people you seem to think they are, riding down footpaths, smashing up a prius, blocking highway entracnces up to stop traffic.

[Mohsen]

If I was in the car with my family id have done the same thing.

As for the legless biker. Wrong place wrong time.

yeah, sweet. bike riders running around like they own the roads, stopping traffic, running reds, wrong side of the road.

pretty sure none of it would have happened if they just let the dickbag in the rangie go past them instead of taking up however many lanes.

i cant say what i would have done in his situation, but it would be pretty intimidating being stopped by what looks like 100 or so bikes and having them all approach you.

i'm not on either parties side, i just think they all acted like a bunch of dick bags, (including the rangie driver) and it all could have been avoided

[owenliberts]

oh and ive been riding road bikes for 9 years,

those riders are f**k heads

[kaitoukid]

4am wake ups to write a (half-baked no doubt) essay

Ive been on official SAU cruises where they've stopped traffic so we can file out and stay as a pack. Didnt know that warrants being run over.

And I didnt see anyone threatening the driver or his family until after he drove over a few of them

[owenliberts]

they boxed him in and made him stop in the middle of a highway, then he ran them over.

i consider being forced to stop in the middle of a freeway intimidating and threatening

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

Considering the reports of their earlier behaviour i'd say there wa a fair chance they had scared him. Even if it was just a joke that went bad...

Oh and dezz, the comment about sau cruises was unrelated and you know it. When have you ever been on an sau cruise that frequently stopped traffic by force so the cars can do burnouts or drifts or whatever? I'm guessing none.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

I'm not saying the range rover driver 100% did the right thing, or the bikes were 100% wrong.

Fact is the video is too far away to make a judgement call and we may never know

But this bullshit bike brotherhood mentality of "I ride bikes and cars don't respect me on the road therefore the bikes were innocent" is just stupid.

From what we know they had already trashed a Prius and been menacing the roads that day.

then a pack of like 100 of them surround and stop a car with a family in it. What was said or done at that point we do not know as the video quality is just not there

The guy is in his car surrounded by 100 bikes with his wife and 2 year old... He gets scared and fight or flight kicks in.

They chase him down and beat him

There is no way you can look at that objectively and say the car was 100% at fault...

[r34abz]

du herro.

just got back from 'a few days away' in Torquay, t'was nice.

[kaitoukid]

^ Nice.

I myself am leaving today for a weekend down in Rosebud for a 'few days away' also.

If I can finish this essay, anyway. Finally wrote the intro. Now for actual content... . Plan to wake up at 4 and start did not work... whilst I woke up and started to get into it... cbf'd and slept another <2hrs

[blah_blah]

It's been reported that he took off when the the guys tried to open his doors and slash his tyres

[r34abz]

Lol hate dem pre-essay submission feels brah.

Was up there for four days for a uni field trip, weather was not too bad, good times were had plus a fair few drinks lol.

With their prior behavior and bashing the Prius who was merely in the middle of the road too, I think it's safer to assume that the RR, who unlike the Prius, actually connected with one of their bikes (through fault of the idiot who slammed brakes on in front of him IMO)...would have been getting threatened by them. I doubt they'd have just been sitting there staring in shock or waving their index fingers like a parent, given what they were shown capable of earlier. The whole pack were looking back at him in the vid; it wasn't some flash mob pose designed to freak people out, or that was their designated meeting point...shit was going down. I'm with Hamish, no one is without guilt, including the RR driver. Everyone acted pretty stupidly, but it's hard to say you wouldn't do what the RR did yourself and the bikers started a hell of a lot of it. There's a reason they pulled all their bonus DVD deleted scenes footage down.

And on the non-legal, common sense / self preservation side of it...the bikers who got run over brought knives to a gun fight. The only way the RR was capable of running them down is if they were parked in front of it, blocking it on the shitty assumption that it will never choose to run them down. This was the mentality of the brake checker and any bike sitting in the path of the RR. Like an arrogant pedestrian stepping out in front of a car, who thinks just because the law is on their side and no one wants to knowingly hit someone with a car, they will be fine...dumb assumption to rely on in a situation where your mates pressure a 2 tonne vehicle into taking the path of least resistance and you happen to be standing in that path. As you can see, there's a bitch in his way, that he needs to move.

100% agree.

Sau Vic does NOT make an inconvenience to the public by blocking off roads to allow people to exit. Or to act like those dipshits in the video.

The guy was intimidated with his family in the car. As if you wouldn't do different

[Plattsy]

ps rangie is 3 tons. double leg break combo!

[Sunkist]

Ultra kill

[Plattsy]

gouranga.
