    it has to be said that the rest of the car drivers in those clips are bloody good. a group riding like that over here would have been wiped out many times over. Hust following the lead bikes without looking is just poor riding.

    As has been said 95% of the riders won't have been wanting to cause the driver harm but neither would they like him to get away.

    What i do find interesting is depending on where you read about this really depends on the angle the story gets told by.

    Either it's a motorcycle gang chased down fear fill driver or it's bikers get mowed down by driver.

    The trouble with these sorts of videos is like anything on the net, it gets posted by someone on a page like FB without the relevant information and then it is the chinese whispers from one person to another, on how a group of bikers did this to a friend of a friend's cousins aunties brothers husband and before you know it bikers have a bad name again, as happened on a couple of groups on FB recently with a 'supposed' story that a biker attacked a woman in Hastings, with one person even claiming that 'I know the person this happened to'. All of a sudden ALL bikers were being tarred with the same brush. Two days after this and Bexhill police posted up saying they had seen the posts doing the rounds and this incident didn't even happen.
    I have been on numerous ride-outs from the small group of 5 or 6 through to a couple of thousand bikes, in this country and in Europe and even done ride-outs with 1%'er MC's and the rule of the road has always been, ride safely and don't give people the excuse to label bikers as mindless thugs. As the saying goes, news travels fast, bad news travels faster which applies to any group whether it be bikers or football supporters or any group. The tiny minority step out of line and Joe Public sees the majority as being the same.

    Actually with Video evidence you see it is quite easy to make a conclusion, but trouble is you often never see the whole story as it has been edited to suit who's side posted it.
