Minivan in front of us on three motorcycles.
Crest hill and there is a near stopped loader on a flat bed in the right lane. Car slams left, minivan slams on brakes....we had no issues and slowed.
Minivan driver proceeds to tail gate like...3 feet off car. Car won't move over. Brake checks minivan hard. We get showered with tailights and headlight bits...
This continues another quarter mile and me and one other bike make the jump to hyperspace and flat out leave.... (liter superbike will do that!!).
Not sticking around for carnage. Last guy gets stuck behind them. Riding a buell he crashed earlier in the day...another story.
The car and truck proceed to NASCAR it out on the road....rubbin is racing!!! Eventually car takes off with van in chase.
Meanwhile we have slowed back to double digits and start looking for our third. We pull into a visible lot and see the minivan and car race down the left turn lane blow the red light going straight and still going at it.
Our third catches up and fills us in.
Now this happened like 150 miles from home and pre(ish) internet....And I'd hate to think if someone got hurt and there was no other witnesses..I had memorized the plates on minivan. SO I call the state police and leave a brief date/time/ location and my name.
Few days later SP calls me and we discuss. Never found car. Minivan driver was pissed since kids in minivan were hurt bouncing off the dash of the MV during the brake check. Irony...his tags "I(heart symbol)RKIDS" ...but not enough to belt them in....
Then he says....."You guys took off pretty fast! (um yes sir...not sticking around for them to wreck me!) There was an off duty officer 200 yards back and saw it as well who did not chase since he was in personal car.
SP says...."The other officer rides too. He said he would have done the exact same thing given the situation.... and laughs.
So weird.
