"CAMARILLO, Calif. - A motor home struck and killed a motorcyclist, dragging his body about 75 feet on U.S. Highway 101 in a bloody conclusion to a Ventura County road-rage encounter.
The motorcycle was impaled on the motor home.
Witnesses and motor home driver Michael Antoine told the California Highway Patrol the biker made obscene hand gestures and pulled in front of the motor home before braking suddenly Monday afternoon."

Better to get road rage in a Hummer than on a bike.
This article is carefully written to imply the road rage was on the part of the motor home driver. It was not - according to the CHP, it was the bicyclist who went insane, and got himself killed by flipping off the driver, movig in front of the motor home and slamming on the brakes.
But the MSM wants to protect the liberal insanity and aggressiveness from being exposed.
Don’t bring a motorcycle to an RV fight.
Wow, yeah, not smart. Depending on other people to NOT squash you like a bug AFTER you've pissed them off is generally not advisable.
Always get a kick out of movies where motorcycles menace cars; all the car has to do is stop or turn and the biker is deep in the hurt box.
“...the biker made obscene hand gestures and pulled in front of the motor home before braking suddenly Monday afternoon.”
Darwin Award candidate (don’t bring a bike to a motorhome fight).
More about the “rage boy” results of liberal policies and upbringing, little to do with “liberal insanity and aggressiveness”. It’s just as likely the ‘biker’ could have been a white supremicist neo-nazi as anything. It wouldn’t matter in the long run, the results are the same.

I have no earthly idea how you took that from the article.
That had to be a dramatic shift in perspective for the motorcylist. "I'll show that sumbitch" ...very rapidly evolves to.."Oh Sh*t."
...it was the bicyclist who went insane...
There was no bicyclist, it was a motorcycle.
But the MSM wants to protect the liberal insanity and aggressiveness from being exposed.
And that one makes even less sense.
No biker that I know that would flip off a RV would have a shred of liberal insanity.
Insanity, yes, but far, far from liberal in nature.
Re-read the story.
Best line of the morning:
“Don’t bring a motorcycle to an RV fight.”
Kudos to Disambiguator!!!
Darwinism in action...the dead guy should win the “Hold Muh Beer” award.
LOL!!! Great line!
By reading it:
"Patrol the biker made obscene hand gestures and pulled in front of the motor home before braking suddenly Monday afternoon.
CHP Officer Terry Uhrich says the 68-year-old motor home driver was traveling about 55 mph in the southbound lanes in Camarillo and couldn't avoid slamming into the bike.
The 57-year-old Ventura biker, whose name is being withheld, was thrown under the motor home and dragged about 75 feet before coming loose in travel lanes."
What did you get from the article?
LOL!
I feel the same in my Silverado 2500HD. I recall one day where some thug in a compact car tried cutting in my aunt’s funeral procession. He quickly changed his mind. ;)
Sometimes, stupid has it’s price.
An RV is not that high, but an RV driver is high enough to see beyond the biker and would/should automatically see if there is a reason for a bike to brake.
That's the physical part of my thinking ... the psych part says ... ain't no way a biker, no matter HOW pi$$ed off he may be, would pull an adolescent trick like that.
I think the RV driver is the one that raged against the biker.
I second the nomination. An old guy in a SUV ain’t going to stop on a dime. Unless the guy’s name was Dime, heh heh.
