WOW! Glad to see people standing up for themselves but.... passing on the left(in the same lane) is never a good idea, unless of course the driver slammed the breaks to make the turn and the bike had no where to go. But 15 on 1 that's a bit much! fight your own fights!

May not be Harley riders. Don't matter. Another blemish. Swell.

It sounds like the headline is a little misleading. The driver had his arm smashed when he hit the bike, not by the bikers themselves. The driver is the one saying his car is totaled. Sounds like two broken windows and some dents; on a PLYMOUTH SUNDANCE. The car probably wasn't worth **** in the first place. Before everybody gets all pissed off take note that the guys on bikes didn't beat the MAN, they beat the CAR.

Ultimately not necessary or helpful.

The cager should have signalled his left turn, but the bikes should have see a potential left turn coming up also. It is exactly the same situation in which Bruce Rossmeyer died on the way to Sturgis.

Flash mob BS is not the answer.

They must not have beat him bad enough as he was still able to count to 15.

No doubt the cager had attitude and mouthed off to the bikers.
