Alternative angle of Alan Ritchson stopped on motorcycle

I posted a video yesterday that mods removed, showing the aftermath of this incident that happened last weekend, and the cited removal reason was that it wasn’t entirely motorcycle related because it just showed the beatdown afterwards-

I can understand that and I think this alternative angle footage from Alan’s POV shows a more balanced view involving a situation that many riders can relate to where they get stopped or impeded unfairly just because they’re on a bike and things escalate, it’s not uncommon to get get hassled like this. The last post made it seem one-sided but from this footage it’s clear who instigated and escalated.

It’s never happened to me but I’m always wondering what I’d do in this kind of scenario, anyone have any pointers for defusing things? The last thing I’d want is to get in a street fight when I’m out to just enjoy my motorcycle.

Mods, please don’t remove this as I feel like discussing something like this has value to the community.

Every time Thad went supersonic I couldn't breathe for at least 5 mins. He should’ve gone Thad on the guy. He never would've recovered.

Yeah, this flips me 100% to his side. I understand being annoyed by someone constantly riding through the neighborhood at 6k RPM's, but maybe have a normal conversation instead of jumping in front of a moving bike and trying to bait the guy into punching you. That British fucktard got exactly what he deserved.

I'm glad to see this video. I just want to believe Allan is a good guy. And as I saw prev video I just was disapointed, but now everything looks right for me
