According to a Arizona cop in the GD thread he has run into these bikers before and they are assholes. What the video showed doesn't excuse the trucks actions but I would really like to see what led up to all that bullshit.

Those aren't "dirt bikes". They're Enduros. There's a difference. They're built for dirt and street. Not just dirt. Some of the guys have either moto'd out theirs (put street tires and other mods on them), or bought them that way, either way, they can and will go long distances even on knobbies. In case you didn't realize it, Henderson is
very close to the AZ border. Hoover Dam is only 18 min or so from Boulder City, and Hoover Dam is
ON the Az border.... This apparently happened around Henderson, so they're not even an hour away from the border. I use to ride my Suzuki 650 DR Enduro from Vegas to Lk Havasu Az all the time. We either went via the highway, or hit trails into Az out of Boulder City first, which may be what these clowns were doing, or headed out to do. After I got my 950 KTM Super Enduro the trips got even longer and we went farther. We would leave Boulder City at 9:00 am and not return back to Vegas until 1:00am... That's a "bit" more than an hour on a "dirt bike", so I guess that makes my old ass pretty tough.
Lane splitting is forbidden in NV, unless you're a motorcycle cop. Jackoffs lane split here all the time anyway. It's almost always some dbag that's on a crotch rocket pissing people off, or a wannabe biker doing it. If you're going to pop wheelies, dart in and out of traffic, and lane split in front of other vehicles, you're probably going to irritate someone. I ride, and it irritates me when someone on a bike damn near takes my mirror off trying to lane split to get in front of everyone else. Not that I think we shouldn't be able to lane split here, we should, but doing it like a jackass usually does make people mad, especially the ones who know it's illegal.
I wouldn't have pulled my gun in this situation, but I wasn't the guy driving the truck, and I don't know what really happened to start this, but something started it. If you know there's an agitated motorist, and they're obviously agitated at the group you're with, for something your groups done, why would you pull up on the opposite side of their vehicle and pound on their window? If there hadn't been multiple guys on bikes to back the window pounder guy up, I seriously doubt he would have been dumb enough to pound on a window of a truck with three guys in it that were pissed off. You notice the driver of the truck wasn't pointing his gun at the other guy or anyone else he was busy yelling at before the window pounder.... At what point when a guns in your face do you still continue the conversation, all for the sake of getting it on you tube? Luckily no one got shot. We would be discussing a dead Enduro rider, instead of what a group of people on both sides doing stupid shit did.
