    Saw one a few years ago in SLC, semi pulling up the on ramp, bike rider behind him, you could tell the biker was a bit ticked for some unknown reason that the truck was taking so long, i was about 1/4 mile behind them once they got on the interstate, biker nailed it, pulled in front of the trucker, flipped him off and hit his breaks.

    needless to say, thats the last stupid move that biker will ever make.

    you just wonder whats going through their mind when they are that upset..
    hmmmmm lets lock up a 800lb bike in front of a 40k truck.. yea that will show him.
    except there is no way a truck will stop near as fast as a bike, guess the guy didnt take in to account newtons law of motion.

    its nature's way to weed out the stupid.. honestly, that guy had no biz being on a bike, if he let his emotions control how he handled the bike..

    There are idiots on all manner of motorcycles. The worst are either young first-time riders on crotch rockets, or re-entry motorcyclists that rode 20+ years ago and think their skill level is still acceptable without some brush-up like an MSF course.

    90% of the guys riding those rice rockets act and drive like D-bags anyway. I can't really feel to bad...

    Thats what I said. It is a shame though the cops didnt attempt to pull them over. If a semi flies down the road doing 120 I bet the wouldve pulled em over and arrested em!!!

    Not if his name is Kyle Bush. The will just write him a ticket and send him down the road. Kyle was caught doing 128 in a 45 and this is all the cop did. But give the cop credit he did chase him and Kyle did stop.
