Puss boy needs a good beat down IMHO.

Def NOT going to get hired to a driving job now. Amazing how we are all such hard asses when we are in our cars. What is that all about? In your car, you are in control of YOUR own little world and you forget that it is everyone else's world. It can be a rude awakening when you open the door and get out. The world is now all different.

If this was in florida id find this kid and beat the sh!t out of him.

Little Jerkoff Needs A Serious Beating!!!

“We felt that the incident that took place this morning was serious enough that if he was released he would be a danger to public safety,” said Mannion.

Be glad I'm not holding a similar job as Mannion because I see numerous people who fit this description everyday on the way to work. But I know even the people who never act out, many of them are leering at me because they get passed by me every morning. It's just a matter of time before I find my own Cody-"I'm a big piss-ant and not afraid to say it"-Eller. Beware, I'm sure someone will find a way to blame this on the biker even with a confession eventually.

So if you intentionally hit someone to hurt them and get only second -degree, what do you have to do for first degree? Get out and yell really bad yo-momma jokes at them till they pass out?

Some of us motorcyclists here in New Hampshire are pretty pissed off. This kid almost kills somebody, admits that he did it on purpose and this moronic judge desides to let the kid out on bail ! And don't get me started about the D.A. Only charging this kid with assault. HE COULD HAVE KILLED THIS GUY!!!! If this were me that kid would have wished he had killed me after I put his nuts in between my chain and sprocket!!! The poor basterd on the bike will hopefully get more satisfaction in civil court and end up owning this kids ass for many years to come.

Hey Edge

You know guys, some times I honestly think to myself maybe I am a big asshole on this bike, but they don't have to do anything but keep friggin driving, I never have close calls unless they get feisty, and yes Snuffers I'm totally with ya man and thank you, most of the time I'm just cruzin in the right lane but traffic slows a bit and I can feel that guy next to me in the left lane leering at me with his foot nervously shifting back forth between the gas and brake pedal so he can make sure I don't sneak infront of him. What he doesn't realize is I can pass him anywhere, at anytime and I'll be less than a speck on the horizon before his flimsy Hyundai Chinese POS can accelerate 5mph, so I act like I don't notice and I just stroll along until he relaxes a little and then I pounce and it happens exactly as I said every time, and one of these times he's just gonna see me and try to kill me because everyone is so damn pent-up these days that they think they deserve fairness all the time, but life isn't fair, sometimes you're the 120lb. guy with the Kia and a comb-over getting owned by a 215lb. Vin Diesel wanna-be with enough power-to-weight to send his erection through the damn steering head, at that point the only thing he should do is accept your fate and act like he doesn't notice and act cool not a spoiled little bitch and carry-on, nothing to see here folks. i've also been known to pass on the shoulder at any speed inorder to separate myself from a group of idiots making me feel unsafe. I don't care who gets offended as long as my ass and my bike are safe.

Boy, you guys been getting me royally riled up this week lol!

BTW i am an asshole hehe

If Eller makes bail and commits another driving violation, Spath said his bail could be revoked.

He is scheduled to appear in Salem District Court for a probable cause hearing May 23.

I was just about home from my COG rally trip Sunday, less than 5 miles from the house.

Thats when I really start to worry, statistics being what they are.

Anyway, this guy that works at the local Kawasaki dealer is in front of me (I know him). We are behind two cars at a stoplight.

As the light turns green, this idiot in a Nissan coupe pulls out of the side street to our left (street we are on is 1-way), and forces his way in front of this guy. Guy had no choices, he had to brake and give way. Car bigger than bike....

I saw the motorcycle guy just shake his head.

The driver of the car was some young guy. Unlike some previous comments, I wouldn't even consider beating him up even if I had a chance. Then I'd be in jail too. Its not worth it.

Even as far as the original post and that situation. Going after that guy would just be stupid. Guy would still be in the same situation he was in before, and those that went after him would be in jail for assault and battery, or worse. The court won't cut you slack for your righteous indignation.

And lets not forget the motorcyclist that got hit by this punk is the cause himself, right or wrong, because if he hadn't been so agressive and tried to pass in a no-passing zone, close to an intersection, the incident would never have happened. Agressive riding leads to problems sooner or later, even on the track.

Edge,

Do you live in Michigan? Your experiences sound so similar to mine.

I read something different in the article...

Pelham police Lt. Gary Fisher said Friday that investigators believe Hawksley was in a legal passing zone at the time of the crash.

Both were nearing the intersection of Tallant Road, according to the affidavit.

Nonetheless, it doesn't give this kid the right to appoint himself as a traffic enforcement officer and then take it a step further and try to kill someone. For what, Passing?. Imagine if he was speeding too? Hell that aggressive 14 pilot should get the electric chair for that!

The motorcyclist appears to have been in a legal passing zone according to what the police are saying. Personally I was extremely angry when I saw what and why the kid did this. However, when the local TV news interviewed the kid, and he really is a kid, he was extremely and sincerely apologetic to the motorcyclist. I am absolutely NOT sticking up for him at all but based on the TV interview I saw it did appear that he realized, unfortunately after the fact, what he did was deadly and had some very serious consequences not only for the motorcyclist but also for him as now he has to face very serious charges.

Good thing he dose not live near me (Know what I MEAN!...)

You obviously are a very forgiving person, and that's great, Initially I'm glad to hear he has remorse as well, but knowing how 'kids' think, his remorse is more than likely misinterpreted sorry feelings for himself and regret that now he has to be punished. I didn't see this interview, but I have little faith in anyone really caring about strangers over their own selfish asses these days; especially our mixed up young people.

Gotta say Privy,
100% agree-

You are confusing aggressive riding with angry/emotional riding. Agressive/Offensive riding. Defensive riding. The way I describe these is; on one side you are taking control of your fate, on the other you are sitting back and allowing others to control your fate while you avoid it the best you can.

Shit happens either way. I feel more in control when I am on top of everything goin on every moment. When you wait for things to happen and react you open yourself up to distraction and a fading of your focus. But that is my experience and I believe everyone rides a bike differently 'in their heads' (meaning what they think about whilst riding). So I don't believe your style is better but if it works for you I won't judge you for that. Just kinda wish everyone could leave the judging alone and look at the facts.

We had a kid hit a farm tractor here not to long ago on a country road. The kid was known to ride fast down this road, I'm guessing because it was a quiet country road. This old man operating the tractor did not have full function of his senses, I believe he might of been a bit blind and deaf, but he was an upstanding leader of the community. His farm was one of the biggest and he was responsible for the prosperity of the town.
He pulled that tractor right out into the path of that bike when the bike was only 100 feet away. The bike and it's two riders, he had his girlfriend on that day, plowed into the front wheel and engine of the tractor killing the boy instantly and the girl flew over the tractor and sustained some injuries but was ok in the end. The farmer never knew what hit him. The story is he said he stopped and looked and didn't see anyone. The local news ended up giving the story a twist and saying the accident was entirely the fault of the rider because he had been seen in the past riding fast down the road. They tarnished a dead boy and his families memory of him because they could not allow this upstanding farmer to get in trouble for pulling out and killing someone.
My best friend was standing in his front yard talking to a neighbor and saw the whole thing go down. Ran upto the tractor where the dead body of the boy lay wrapped up in that tractor, his girlfriend laying in the ditch. There weren't even any skidmarks! And the farmer, he wasn't even flinching. No emotion whatsoever except he obviously didn't understand what had happened. Senile. My buddy still has nightmares about it, and he is so angry about how the story was lied about and twisted all to save the reputation of some rich old farmer.
And that is why you end up with authorities brainwashing people into thinking defensive driving is the only way to drive. So they can make anyone look reckless when it suits them simply by feeding on this perception that if you drive fast or 'aggressively' people automatically assume you are at fault even when you had 100 feet to stop and it takes 110 because the guy pulled out of a field and you could have never seen him coming.

I am sorry, but I only take issue with the revenge talk. It is useless, and you don't mean it. Some of you rant about the driver deciding to punish the rider for passing him (if you don't remember feeling that way at least once in your life, you are brain dead) and then say you want to punish the driver outside of the law.

Tell me you don't see the contradiction...

(just for arguments sake) there's a difference between thinking it and acting on your thoughts. To compare everyone in general with this rotten egg is apples and oranges. Quit trying to play it down. Maybe the world would think twice if we did exact vengeance instead of just venting on a forum and moving on. There just isn't enough accountability these days for the stupid people. Why we keep protecting them from the punishments the rest of us get I do not know?
