sorry im a ford guy also...BUT my Hemi ram Is a great truck...has towed my toys across this country twice!....and a dodge charger i bought in canada and towed it to savannah GA. you can preach all you want about your fords and chevys.....But the Hemi Ram is hard to beat....
He drives a Dodge truck--he is already challenged. This will offend all the Dodge truck owners on here but so what. My opinion---you can have yours. I tell everyone I know that if you see me walking down the road in west Texas and it is a hot day. If you are in a Dodge truck ---just give me or let me buy some drinking water from you and drive on. Someone in a Ford will be along sooner or later. If it is after dark and no one will see us--I will ride in your Dodge but don't stop under any lights.

The Dodge thread seemed rather calm compared to the Butt-Wipes posting in the "Anti-Bicycle" thread on here a week or so ago.
One of them who said he'd intentionally run over a bike rider is a HDF "Moderator".

BINGO !!
Not being there, WE cannot know the exact situation.
However, I see this all the time. People overreacting as they come out of their dream state when they finally catch a glimps of me passing by them, nowhere near close enough for them to hit me if they just maintain. I just ride away shakeing my head. I may give a wave, sort of to say 'sorry for scareing/wakeing you'.
"yea, but i just spent $850 on a lift and better coils/shocks."
In a newly lifted truck, I'd guess (actually I know) you lose more visability around the vehicle. A person may be a bit unsure of how close things are.

Good engines and drive trains but I still don't like the exteriors on most Dodge products and I have never liked the styling on any of their trucks. Always liked Fords and their body styles. JMO

Face it, motorcycle mirrors aren't very good. The rider may not have known just how close the truck was. Could be the guy in the truck came up on him quicky and was going to pass him on the right.
From the picture that tire looks like it was worn out anyway.
