Motorcycles vs. Bicycles
........ With ample time (his decription not mine) he sounded the motorcycle's horn to alert the bicycle rider of his approach. As he started to overtake the bicycle, in the same lane mind you, he said the bicyclist aggesively defended his line through the corner by moving toward the center line. By the telling of this affair you could tell the motorcyclist felt this was rude, even dangerous as he stated that to avoid not passing too close to the bicycle he would have had to moved into the oncoming lane. With a more then a little degree of self-righteousness he said he simply held his line (though he could have changed it, again his words) and made contact with the bicycle causing the rider to crash. When I asked what happened next to my dismay he stated that he never stopped and the bicycle rider got a heliocopter ride! My mind went blank from sudden overload and I could not collect my thoughts for several moments. Finally I looked at him and suggested that he might have committed a felony. His attitude suggested that the bicyclist had deserved the crash that resulted and he showed no remorse at all. ......
If you don't drop a dime on this no-account-ass-pilot you are destined to bear the stigmata of KNOWING what he did.
You also came here and trustingly shared this account with intent to gain some mental closure for someone else's deviant behavior.
I feel sorry that you have to go on thinking about the sad truth.
Seriously, I would not think twice of making a full disclosure and report him to the authorities, and go so far as to make a presence with said authorities at "The Rock Store" to fully point this clown out, to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
it could have been YOU that was injured, or anyone you care about, and that is unsettling.....
I was physically run off a road in my youth, (struck by a vehical) on a bike while hugging the berm on a backroad. Tore my ass up pretty severely, lots of pavement rash, total destruction of my wheels ($400 is a lot to loose as a kid); and the offenders actually turned around down the road, and returned and threw beer cans at me when they passed.... I got the license number and wrote it in the dirt on the side of the road. I hailed a deputy while limping home bleeding and carrying the remains of my bike, and made a report, returning with him to the spot, where he wrote the license number down....I didn't get a call from them and after a week, went the Sherriff and asked what they were doing about this.....they basically told me they couldn't do a thing, as they did not catch "the driver" of the vehical in action. They did however share the name with me.
let's just say "an eye for an eye" was justice,
and that's all I'm saying about that.
