There's road rage, and then there's whatever this is:

UNBELIEVABLE VIDEO AT LINK................
Video out of Beaverton, Oregon, on Highway 26 -- about seven miles west of Portland. It happened at 6:15 a.m. on Monday.
Police had been looking for this driver and finally found him.
Man, I hope that motorcyclist recovers quickly. And I sure hope he gets a new bike out of this.
Here's what the Kia van looked like when police came to check it out following that tip:
Here's the mugshot:
You seriously hate to see stuff like this; it's why when you're out on the road it is simply NOT WORTH IT to get into an altercation with another driver.
Enjoy your time driving without robots while you still have the chance!

MOTORCYCLE PING!....................
Classic “brought a knife to a gunfight”.
2 wheels good
4 wheels better
I hope they are found and charged with attempted murder.
He was found..................
Idiots like this are why I sold my bike a couple of years ago.
Samir Helio Pazzoto-Filho?
Indian-Greek-Italian-Portuguese?
loud pipes save lives
Attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon.
“2 wheels good
4 wheels better”
Depends on the context.....in this scenario yes......on a sunny morning shifting into high gear while going around a bend on a deserted road I’ll take 2 wheels every single time. 🙂
(now I know Sean would NEVER do this but...) Dude looks like Sean from Bikes and Beards.
“I hope they are found and charged with attempted murder.”
How did you miss that?
when i rode bikes cars regularly would move into my lane as if they didnt see me
i never responded
i would just get away from them as fast as possible
thats what may have started this
When I got my first car at 16 I drove like an absolute idiot. I would constantly honk and flip off anyone for the littlest thing, I was always trying to race people, I’d cut off cars and not care, etc. Looking back, it’s a miracle nobody shot me or at least kicked my ass. Several decades later I am much more relaxed in the car. I try not to get upset when other drivers do something dumb, I rarely honk at anyone, and I can’t even remember the last time anyone has honked at me (must be years). Driving is now a fun experience not a stressful one.
There is absolutely no advantage to getting in a road rage altercation. If you lose you get hurt or even killed, and if you “win” you go to jail, there is no upside regardless of the outcome.
“Dude looks like Sean from Bikes and Beards”
Sean being a self proclaimed Christian man, I would hope he would never let himself behave like that.
That bike is toast.
“loud pipes save lives”
AI Overview
+4
No, loud pipes do not save lives. The myth that loud exhaust systems make motorcycles safer is not supported by evidence. Studies have shown that the noise from loud pipes is not effective at alerting drivers or pedestrians, and in fact, can contribute to noise pollution and a negative perception of motorcyclists.
Here’s why loud pipes don’t save lives:
Unidirectional Sound:
The noise from exhaust pipes is primarily directed backward, making it less effective at alerting drivers who might be approaching from the side or front.
Driver Distraction:
Car drivers are often distracted by radio, passengers, or other factors, making it less likely they’ll hear a motorcycle approaching, regardless of the noise level.
Effective Noise Pollution:
Loud pipes can contribute to noise pollution, which can be harmful to human and animal health.
Limited Visibility:
While loud pipes might get a car driver’s attention, if the motorcycle is already too close, the driver may not have time to react safely.
More effective safety measures for motorcycles include:
Proper Training:
Taking motorcycle safety courses can improve riding skills and defensive techniques.
High Visibility Gear:
Wearing bright, reflective clothing and using daytime running lights can make motorcycles more visible to other drivers.
Defensive Riding Practices:
Anticipating potential hazards, maintaining safe following distances, and using mirrors effectively are crucial for safe riding.
Attempted murder charge with many years in prison due, but the guy on the bike is stupid, probably too raged out to think about the positioning he was putting himself into.
Punishment should be abandonment inside a Hell’s Angels club meeting—after showing the HA club this video.
