benefit of the doubt...
I think that's what's missing here.
Like I said...or I think I stated....both parties were doing wrong...I'm not even defending the bikers' actions as right or appropriate...but it disgusts me to hear folks feel like the RR driver gets a free pass in all of this simply because of the common belief that bikers are always the guilty party.

I'm reasonable like that....
