Update on San Diego Road Rage Incident!
Some of you may remember the road rage incident that occured in May on the Coronado Bridge in San Diego where two riders on a K1600 were thrown off their bike and sustained major injuries by a BMW which deliberately swerved into their bike. The BMW driver, who had a history of burglary and theft, was convicted of child endangerment, as his two children were in the car, and was given 4 years probation. He was credited with spending more time in jail before the trial than the one year in prison the judge said he would have imposed. The K1600 riders were left to heal on their own. Sorry world we live in!
Hate to be a bearer of this kind of news, but cage drivers are trying to kill us!

Copying something over from BARF.
Lt. Rorrison said an off-duty officer traveling on the bridge at the time of the incident saw the whole thing. The officer first noticed the BMW swerving in and out of traffic at a high rate of speed.
“He almost hit our sergeant’s car and he almost hit another vehicle that was right next to our sergeant’s car,” Lt. Rorrison explained.
Police say the off-duty officer saw the motorcycle come up from behind, then maneuver past the BMW.
Then, tempers flared.
“It appeared to our sergeant that there were some words exchanged between the motorcycle rider and his passenger and the driver of the BMW,” said Lt. Rorrison. “Our sergeant saw the driver of the BMW look at the motorcycle, make some sort of gesture and turn directly into it, striking it.”
Police say both occupants of the motorcycle were thrown off it in the crash. The driver then fled the scene, and the sergeant chased him, detaining him once he stopped in Coronado.
