It's a little noisy, but it's a wonder someone didn't end up dead.

Pickup driver tries to kill motorcyclist

This is one of the most insane videos I have ever seen. Gives a new meaning to road rage. Fortunately it was a sport bike with riders that seemed to know what they were doing. The riders had the presence of mind at the end when they were on the cellphone talking to the cops. We can only hope this nut case was prosecuted.

That guy showed a complete and total disreguard for life. I hope the video led to his prosecution.

Good job! That guy was all over the road, total disregard for other drivers, whether riding or driving.
Probably a high paid official, he acted like he owned the whole road!

Idiot! Was he waving a tire iron when he first got out of the truck?

Pickup driver tries to kill motorcyclist

O.K., the guy is an absolute idiot and a danger to all those around him. However, take a close look at the yellow lines when the bike passes him. It is a double yellow line. That is no excuse for the driver's actions but if we as riders are going to break the law and speed (and I have done exactly what this rider did) we'd better be ready to be the subject of someone's(hopefully reasonable) anger. Let's ride safe!

Yeah, the one motorcyclist should get a ticket, but the guy in the truck should get arrested.

Or just rip his arms off and beat him to death with them.

Just plain old stupidity. Probably drinking or high on drugs. He should have been arrested.
