Fun story, I grew up next to Gary. He used to live in Kaysville Utah but I'm not sure if he is still there anymore. Wouldn't surprise me if he did end up going to PC. He has always been a menace and people in my neighborhood never got along with him. He called the cops on me one time for lightning fireworks off on the 5th of July. I was 12 years old at the time, and he lived probably about a quarter mile away from me. The only reason I knew of him was because he went to the same church I went to. Nobody has ever gotten along with him and it seems nothing has changed. I'm glad to see him finally get put in his place. It's been a long time coming. I also transport heavy equipment in Park City. I'm there everyday and it's literally hell.That place is a den of entitled assholes and I have no idea why anyone would want to spend time there or live there for that matter. The cyclists in particular are on a whole other level of entitlement. They will ride in the middle of the road and will not let you pass them. They will yell at you, and best of all they will act like you're in the way while dropping off equipment.
Found Gary's linked in profile... he's apparently the VP of sales for semiconductor company KLA, which is headquartered out of Milpitas California... just for everyone's information...
As a motorcycle rider myself, if I were to take the headlights, tail lights, license plate, turn signals, and horn off my motorcycle and ride around with no real protective gear or insurance on limited sight roads 20 mph under the speed limit, it probably wouldn't take long to either: A. Get arrested, or B. Get into a life threatening accident
Unfortunately I have to disagree about filing a civil lawsuit. Sometimes the only way to teach someone a lesson is financial hardship. ESPECIALLY an entitled rich guy like Gary. I promise you he's learned absolutely nothing from this encounter. A silly ticket won't change his mind or his ways.
I got fed up with E bikes, gas powered scooters, electric scooters and whatever else on the roads and streets in traffic in my area so I got my sweet revenge and have been riding my 85 Husky WR250 dirtbike on the roads now too.
Kinda hypocritical saying you have the right to be a Karen in the name of safety yet you have no problem running a Cannonball. Typical Karen, do as I say not as I do.
I do not believe Cannonball is unsafe. In 121 years of transcontinental record runs, there are no documented accidents involving other motor vehicles. Zero major injuries, zero deaths. ZERO. Not one (excluding a couple deer and some chickens). Yesterday I drove about 40 miles and almost got hit head on THREE TIMES by distracted drivers who crossed the center line. THREE.
I go everywhere with my best mates, Homer and Rollo... They are great at preventing such incidents. Well, Homer the Bullmastiff isn't really, he's the friendliest dog in the world (he does hug therapy at the specialist school and youth mental health service. It's his life's calling). He is huge though. Rollo the Rottweiler on the other hand does competitive schutzhund and he is NOT friendly if I tell him not to be. Better than carrying a firearm.
Doug it's never right to be a Karen. Popping a U to pretend to be a cop and crying about your perceived slight isn't normal. From the other guy's perspective you're just another run of the mill dummy that took that much time out of their day to make it their mission to run them down just to scold them.
I hate being a rat, but sending in videos of dangerous illegal passing seems fair. The law is 3 feet in the US and 1.5m everywhere else, for the most part drivers can pass safely inside that distance but if I feel unsafe, get your $80 fine in the mail

Just for the record, I checked the Saab Facebook groups and I couldn't find Gary in any of them. We aren't all like Gary.
Having watched the whole thing On the Civil Rights lawyer Channel, The cop should have arrested peacock.
Speaking as a 53-year-old man; this is the kind of thing that makes us dislike old people
The police officer was a boss, the cyclist should have been arrested for assault & false detection, the young man should sue the arse off Gary,
Gary should have gotten a kidnapping charge.

Don't get me going on road cyclist. Living here on Cape Cod they are the most entitled people you will find on our local recreational bike trails.
As a motorcycle rider myself, if I were to take the headlights, tail lights, license plate, turn signals, and horn off my motorcycle and ride around with no real protective gear or insurance on limited sight roads 20 mph under the speed limit, it probably wouldn't take long to either:
A. Get arrested, or
B. Get into a life threatening accident
Kid in car and a cyclist get into an argument.
Doug: “I’m reminded of the French Revolution” 😂
The scholar of our time
As a top contributor to most of the Saab groups I’ve never seen this guy on there.
Does not surprise me in the least! Peacock is not cool enough to own a Saab

Ain't it illegal to drive that fast bro cannonball is illegal
I got fed up with E bikes, gas powered scooters, electric scooters and whatever else on the roads and streets in traffic in my area so I got my sweet revenge and have been riding my 85 Husky WR250 dirtbike on the roads now too.
haaaaaa! awesome
11:10 Tyler: "below the speed limit around a turn and bam"
14:30 Doug: "speeding, that's not unsafe though necessarily"
I know who Gary is voting for…
But do you?
@@switchcars True. Acting Trumpy and wearing a Saab shirt are two conflicting indicators

Doug is the best
Good job!
You guys are just making shit up now taking away from actually breaking a cannonball record
you get it

cringe on him for acting like that, cringe on you for spending your time talking about it
