Not road rage, its an obvious case of tassling! The cruiser pilot must have passed, cut in to close due to lack of straight line umph and got a tassle caught in the RV grill. Unable to get free he was sucked under by his own saddle bags...what a shame!

Isn't a pretty well known fact that motorcycle vs. any other vehicle will result in a loss on the motorcycle's part? Especially an effing motorhome?! Who cares if the guy almost killed you while changing lanes? You survived just so you could die because you are angry?

We'll never know the truth but who's to say his bike chain didn't come off, his brakes locked up or the engine failed or something mechanical that caused him to slow/stop and this guy in the RV just wasn't paying enough attention and just ran him over.

could have been the biker being a dumb ass too but no one knows....

Giving people the benefit of the doubt isn't much fun though.

So biker made some obscene gestures, pulled in front of motor home, then all the sudden his engine siezed, or chain broke, or whatever? Weird chain of events but not impossible.

The guy driving and his wife...that would be witnesses....all it takes it 2.

I'm just saying everyone can take sides and argue but not one of us saw it or knows anything more than what some guy wrote in the paper. And we all know the news is always 100% accurate.
