Bikers/Range Rover Chase

The sportbike scene used to be a crowd of true riders who loved to lean and really tried to excel their skills of riding, ever since the "Ruff Ryders" scene got back in the mid 90's its been downhill from there, any wannabe gangster or thug with a couple grand in his pocket can buy a 10 year old 600 and do as many wheelies as they want and got 150 mph on the highway. Notice the whole crowd, terrible riding position, straight arming the bars, etc.

Groups like that are more for the look and the scene than the true passion of riding, sorry to be blunt and honest but that's how I feel. Any asshole can peg his right wrist and tuck in on the highway, probably wouldn't last one lap on the track.

I feel bad for the Range Rover guy that he got beat up but at the same token did he provoke in any way? I can't tell from the video. Only thing I can see in the video is it looks like the whole group surrounded the RR, then one of the guys cut in front of it. IF YOU DO SOMETHING STUPID LIKE THAT AND DON'T EXPECT YOUR BIKE TO GET HIT YOU ARE AN IDIOT. Gosh, and here I am thinking to myself "if someone bumped me on my bike with their car, I'd be thanking God himself that I didn't get tossed off, wrecked, or injured". A tap from a car is nothing, considering the alternative (smacked and dead)

I've been a rider for 5 years now and hope to be for my whole life, and to the poster above, yes someone in the "scene" (e.g. Jason Britton or some of the other ICON guys) need to make a statement and let people know that shit like this is not cool.
