This is really messed up...too bad the guy didn't have a gunner with a machine gun to moe down some of these sorry fucks.

The family, driving up the West Side on a sunny afternoon, suddenly found themselves surrounded by motorcycles. In front of their sport utility vehicle, and behind, buzzing past on either side. A swarm of high-powered bikes had all but commandeered the three lanes of the northbound Henry Hudson Parkway on Sunday, and caught between them was the 33-year-old driver of a Range Rover, his wife and their 2-year-old daughter.

The pursuers finally catch the vehicle in stopped traffic on 178th Street in Washington Heights, where, the police said, the man is pulled out of his car and punched by several assailants. The man, identified as Alexian Lien of Lower Manhattan, was treated for facial lacerations and bruising at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital.

U think this guy has the right to gun down the bikers after running over multiple people and then running from the accident
He's lucky he only got beat up

he does have the right, the bikers should have left the cager alone!  You think just cuz your on a bike, it gives you all the power in the world?  Screw that, you got no rights when you ride, you ride or die and that's just what you gotta accept especially when you ride in Hawaii which has the worst drivers in the world!  You pays your monies and you takes your chances.

Meh, only pull over when its safe and clear after an accident, communicating to the other vehicle involved. Maybe he was tryna get to a police station where it would be safer

Of course not...it's sarcasm but read the article before you comment. According to the article the bikers started this whole mess and the SUV driver was not charged.

I did read the comments. Maybe I'm interpreting it wrong but this is what I gathered from the video and the comments

The police said the collision appeared to have been inadvertent on the part of the driver. Seconds later, some of the motorcyclists, most wearing face-covering helmets, crowded around the S.U.V. The police said some began attacking it, though that is not readily apparent in the video. At least one rider present, Rene Towles, 43, offered a different account.

“No biker became aggressive with the driver after the incident,” said Mr. Towles, who belongs to a Brooklyn motorcycle club. “People were just trying to find out what just happened.”

Moments later, the vehicle accelerates toward the riders who are blocking its path, crashing into several of them and appearing to roll over at least one motorcycle. The police said that the motorcyclist who had initially been struck sustained broken legs, but that no other serious injuries were reported. For the next several minutes, the vehicle can be seen fleeing in the video, with the motorcyclists in pursuit. After being forced to stop near the entrance to the George Washington Bridge, the driver is approached by one of the motorcyclists, who tries to open the driver’s side door; the S.U.V. bolts, knocking the man down.

You make no sense at all

Watch the video.  The guy on the bike basically gets hit deliberately.  He's looking straight at the car, then pulls over in front and slows down, all while watching over his shoulder.  What a shocker: a guy on a bike thinks he's a tough guy and owns the road.  Looks to me like he roundly deserved what he got.  Here's an idea: when you're on a two wheeled machine that weighs less than a thousand pounds, and has no protective equipment whatsoever, don't try to intimidate people in SUVs.

Ok so you really believe this guy should have just sat in his vehicle and take whatever is coming as all those bikers block him in and approach his vehicle on more than one occasion? That is not common behavior and I believe it would scare the living shit out of anyone who has his family in the vehicle or alone for that matter. In the end they had no problem with beating the shit out of him with his wife and two year old in the car. I would never have stopped no matter what...these bikers provoked and escalated this situation and the guy didn't have too many options. The biker got what is coming in my opinion and lucky it's just broken legs.

So why was there a white car stopped in the middle of the road?

The guy hitting the window was the guy who got banged when the other biker tried to open the door...

You can see right at the 26-27 second mark, that the biker deliberately "brake checks" the guy.  According to reports I have heard, multiple bikers began surround the SUV in what he felt was a threatening manner, and he decided to book it and call the police.

If the bikers were not at fault, they should've just called the cops and reported a hit and run.  Instead they decide to follow, surround, and assault this guy in front of his family. 

Then they decide to post the damn video of it on the internet for some stupid fucking reason. 

They deserve to have the book thrown at them.

    police can't nab more of them because of course illegal bikes no plates etc.   

More footage previous to Range Rover incident 

A few videos pulled from the guy's YouTube account which he has now removed because it shows the behavior of the group at what I believe is before the incident with the Range Rover found here

I ride sportbikes as well.  Sometimes with a bunch of other riders.  We don't ride like we own the highway/street and expect everyone to give way just because we are present.  I honestly can't stand how some drivers don't respect other drivers or riders.  But from watching the vid, and seeing a few vids of those hardcore stunters in the New York area, I would have to side with the Land Rover driver.  From what I see, it looks as though the wannabe biker boyz got pissed the Land Rover driver did not pull to the side and give way.  Then came the guy with the brake check move.  At a complete stop, a dozen or so guys walking toward my vehicle with my wife and child in the car, I doubt they want to just talk about it.  If I was the Land Rover driver I would have done the samething or worse, take out more riders.  Although, I would have done things a bit differently.  First, I would have kept it on the freeway/interstate while talking to 911.  Second, if I had to get off the interstate I would go directly to a police station if possible.  Third, I have no problem brake checking a few of thos bikers.  Lastly, I have no problem slamming it into reverse to avoid being stuck behind another car at a red light.

I also seen on facebook a sympathy and donation page for the speedbump.  That page is funny as hell.  I seen someone post a pic of a landrover all wheel drive setting selector, one of the modes has a side pic of a sportbike.  I had to post my comment about donating a few books, one being a dictionary; if he wants sympathy he could look between shit and syphilis...

Call me a dickhead for thinking like that but for me it is common sense, it does not matter to me.  From seeing that vid, it seems as though these bikers expect everyone to give way.  But this guy didn't.  You can't slap a pittubll everytime and expect it to bow down.  Sooner or later they(the animal or person) will eventually say/think "DUCK FAT!!!" and attack.  Don't believe me?  Steve Irwin, not sure which one but the tiger guys in Las Vegas, Siegfried and Roy, gator wrestlers, poisonous snake handlers, etc...  will agree with my statement.  But not Steve, as his life card got taxed by a sting ray I believe.

My dad has a saying, "Pain(growing up I figured out, pain was either physical, mental or financial) is the best teacher in life.".  So with that said, I doubt this guy will never brake check anyone ever again, if he ever walks again.

this is funny because on my way back from the range on sunday a group of about 12-15 bikers surrounded me and another car out of nowhere on kalanianaole then after driving in their pack for 20 seconds they all aggressively accelerated and then slowed down to try to endo at the red light. when it was green they took off and were swerving and cutting lanes between the cars in front of us. an suv up ahead was trying to make a normal lane change when some bikes zipped around him and one of them stuck out his arm to gesture at the suv like it was his fault he almost ran them off the road when they ran out of room. in retrospect it looked like a prelude to this whole video. 

i know not ALL streetbike riders are assholes, but its so hard not to hate them. im not taking jabs at any 2amembers, im sure the riders on here have more decency and common sense than the average biker.

"This man with a Range Rover and luxury lifestyle — it's OK for him to do something to someone because he rides a bike or has tattoos?" she said.


the above quote was from the mother of the biker who got run over.
i couldnt help but shake my head and laugh at her stupid comment.. if the driver was poor, tatted up and driving a pinto would they still accuse him of being at fault?

Some of the bikers hi-jinx before the Range Rover incident.

I had a similar incident on my way back home from the range on a Sunday. Some bikers slow down traffic on the freeway by brake checking other vehicles, so that their buddies can do stunts on the clear roadway. Wouldn't that act of slowing down on your vehicle and surrounding it be defined as imprisonment? After all, someone is denying you freedom of movement.

Both sides royally f***ed up. But these massive moto ride videos always seem to go in the same direction.
