Yes something happened prior to this but the key word here is perceived. As a motorcyclist you have to assume you are invisible and the drivers to not see you. Appears this lesson has not been learned by this guy.
Exactly...and worded that way intentionally. I also ride motos and bicycles. Also, physics always wins.

I do as well and after more than 50 years riding bikes and motorcycles I like to think I am very aware of them on the road yet, I still sometimes am surprised by one on the freeway. I can only imagine how often non-riders get surprised.

I can’t blame a motorcyclist or person in a automobile, it’s the rider or driver that makes things the way it is in today’s society, no respect towards others or self discipline.

This is why people are arming themselves to protect themselves and family.

happy your safe and family is safe .

Some more context of where this happened. We were on the onramp to enter southbound 99 (left lane in yellow).
Both mainline lanes were clear of vehicle (none in sight) when I was merging but sightline is somewhat limited due to the mainline's curve exiting the tunnel. Cyclists were coming out of the tunnel (mainline) at a high speed. Wouldn't be surpised if it was 90+.
What got my wife to call 911 was the hand gesture to back pocket or back belt area (guy in white shirt).
If they perceived being cutoff then that's their fault for going that fast in a 45 mph zone.

While the incident is worrying, please don't start the Tesla trend of posting random "bad driver tricks" videos that have nothing to do with Rivian other than they were recorded by the Rivian…

Or maybe mods should just make a subforum for these so I can more easily ignore them.

Dude, whatever. I didn't click on the thread for ya. Next time make better choices if you're so easily offended by content you don't think belongs here. DriveCam is a new feature and this is just an example of it's capabilities. I can't control other people's responses full of speculation. Maybe people shouldn't post picks of their trips just because they're in a Rivian.

You're right there, too. But at least those tend to be curated higher-quality photos of Rivian vehicles. Personally, I think there should be a subforum for those, too…. Oh, wait, there is! Show & Tell: Rivian Photos, Videos, Build Journals (Which is probably where DriveCam posts belong, too, rather than in "General." Maybe Trip Reports / Journals / Logs would be appropriate.)

Motorcycles often startle me, flying past between cars in traffic jam on the Fwy. Harleys mostly. I often get annoyed, but car drivers do things too. Perceived is the key word here, my experience causes me to perceive the road differently since I lost my newly wed wife years ago to a couple of guys playing Dukes of Hazard on the Hwy. They crashed head on into my VW van several people died, but "Darwin" was not fair, they both lived, others died. The best reaction is avoidance, I wish I could however avoid the annoyance.

Darwin was definitely not fair that day. I’m so sorry that happened, Greg.

Looks like he was poorly gesturing that his motorcycle was faster/or wanted to race you. Implying some knowledge of Rivian power

Better than a whiny thread about CarPlay.

Yeah I'd like to see what happened before this. It usually doesn't happen where one of those guys would just harass drivers unprovoked.
Guessing you cut them off then. Stupid all around, but they wouldn't have acted that way without some perceived provocation.
Hah! What kind of hole have you two been living in? People do irrational, stupid, unprovoked, dipshit, dumbass stuff all the time. For any reason or no reason whatsoever. Rage is the new black! To presume there was some rational interaction that lead this is just a bridge too far in this day & age. In fact, I think the presumption has to the opposite, because THAT would make the most sense!

wonder if ya analyzed the social behavior characteristics of Rivian owners you’d find them to be the type that cut people off, tailgate, throw stuff out of their Rivian windows at bicycle riders, play head-on chicken,
etc.? I give WSea the benefit of the doubt.
