The driver of the car HAD to know there was 15 bikes behind him. If they were Harleys you would feel the rumble as well as hear it along with 15 headlights shining at you in the mirror. Sorry, I think there is more to this story. But one thing is for sure in my mind...if the bikers were patch holders and in a real club. The guy would have left the vehicle and maybe the planet.

No doubt he did something to pizz off 15 guys. I can see maybe 3 or 4 and the others talking them down. But 15 guys trash his car? Something missing here.

Where did you read that they roughed him up? Find the quote for me.

the meathead bikers passed him on the left across a double yellow, i.e. their fault completely. and they rough the guy up and f*ck his car up with a 15-1 advantage? sorry completely wrong (as someone who like 99.9% of the folks here is both a biker and a "cager").

I can't help but notice WHPTV's video headline, "Motorcycle gang destoys man's car." Yet, each article, all very one-sided mind you, only describes those involved as "15 unknown motorcyclists." Even if this was an MC, even if it wasn't, and no matter where you stand on the issue, this is why we cannot allow the Feds, or journalists, or the media, to define all MC's as "gangs" or any "group of three or more people" on motorcycles as "gangs." And those who are saying 15 to 1 is unfair, the articles only mention that 15 bikers were present and somehow involved in the collision, and in the confrontation, in one way or another at the time of the incident. Not that they were all pounding on the dude at once.

If that same arm is moving, it could be interpreted as "pass me. This old clunker ain’t going much farther".

A random beating of a cager aint all that bad,just think how many times they tried killing you. Be careful doing that in Fla though you might get shot.

His arm was hanging out the window when the bike hit, screwing up his arm.
Some might have misunderstood that for getting roughed up. I did the first time I read it.

We'll never know what really happened.

I say it was a pack off power rangers off their meds.

You're right ,I was not there , he was probably flipping them off or trying to grab his assless chaps as he went by.
That's what I was thinking. The dumbass's turn signals probably don't work on that POS car, so he might have been signaling with his arm.

from the article:

"State police said the attackers were a group of about 15 motorcyclists who reportedly roughed up the driver of a car following a problem on the road"

it's like the 2nd sentence in the story.
