the "brake check is irrelevant"

The guy could have braked check or made an emergency stop. It is the Biker fault. Don't know what led up to the video but since it's the biker who is in front I'm guessing it is the Biker who initiated the incident. Even if cager had been tailgating the biker it is still the biker fault because he could have moved over to let the guy pass but instead he stopped the bike to be a dick.

However he realized that riding a cruiser does not mean the "image" applies to you and got checked by the motorist.

Biker - FAIL
Biker - FAIL
Biker - F.A.I.L

I will not comment on the cager leaving the scene because the video does not provide evidence that he does. He could have pulled in to a parking lot (instead of just blocking traffic, he could have moved to a safe location to asses the damage and call police)

agreed. Biker is a dumb ass for being anywhere near a cage he just got in a fight with. 700lbs vs. 2000 pounds and the bike is going to lose no matter what, fault or not.

At least the rider was in FULL gear.

can we just execute them both for being total db's?

We have no clue as to the happenings from before the video clip...

The biker is at fault for the accident....

But the true road rage would have been the biker pulling out a Glock 17 and capping that prick for getting into a street situation in the first place....

Again, we don't know what lead up to the incident, too bad

Taters whore of an x wife is to blame for all of this.

Both of them are idiots. Who knows what the fuck the problem was to begin with and then for the biker to follow a car that closely knowing the dude was mad was just asking for it.

Hahahaha. I love the brake check.

If it was me it would have been over at the push. I'd beat his face in and then run over his bike multiple times with my truck.

Oh. And the riding my ass part. I don't give a fuck if you are on a motorcycle or not. Try to "Intimidate" me by getting on my ass I'll lock the brakes down until we stop or you're eating my trailer hitch or flying through my back windsheild. I fucking can't stand it when people get on my ass.

No doubt about it being the bikes fault.

I'm not saying the biker should have been tailgating. However, you can clearly see there is NO traffic in front of the cage and NO reason for him to slam on the brakes. Tapping your lights to let someone to know to back off is one thing. Slamming on your brakes and coming to a complete stop when nothing is in front of you is another. As stated, both are really at fault and that's the way the insurance company will probably view it if they have the video evidence.
