Its hard without sound (no speakers at work) and the initial impact could be written off as completely careles but from the feed back I take he incriminates in sound?
I don't think it can be written off as careless at all. In my view he sees the green lane (which I don't think is actually a cycle lane, but neither is it a motorbike overtaking lane) as an easy way to overtake the cars but is then annoyed to discover a cyclist pootling in it. Then he realises the cyclist is on the phone so decides to either scare him by undertaking him as closely as possible and revving at the same time but misjudges it and clips him. Or he decides to deliberately knock him off. Either way it was deliberate and in my view that's dangerous rather than merely careless.

Quite a few recent uploads on youtube if you search for certain words. Including mine.

Yes. Here http://ducatiforum.co.uk/forum/threads/picked-up-my-2013-hyper-sp.12339/ Note the photobucket account. This is key to all of this. http://s427.photobucket.com/user/ph...C4-1545-00000248938FFEBB_zps2fbd1486.mp4.html

The phantomgixer photobucket account was used on the original thread he ties his YouTube account to the http://hyperstrada.com/ducati-hyperstrada/663-ducati-dragons-s-youtube-channel.html forum. From there, a google search for the photobucket account ties all his other accounts to that one, including the one you post, ebay account, job lot.

he uses the same photbucket account for the ebay listings. his name on ebay is alexbayswater. search for phantomgixer last fm on google, you get his last.fm account. Take the photo he uses on there and use it as a google image search. brings up stuff like this http://www.yelp.co.uk/biz/tawana-thai-restaurant-london all reviews in bayswater. Everywhere he has used that photobucket account can be verified to be him. All accounts can be connected with each other in one way or another. There is no doubt about who this is in the other forums.
With his name and location it is also fairly easy to find his linkedin profile and facebook account. Linkedin profile links to his website where you can get other personal information if you know how. I won't go into details regarding this as it is serious personal information.

How can someone crashing into someone else from behind be six of one and half dozen of the other?
She doesn't listen to the cyclist's point of view at all. She sides completely with the motorcyclist, and fixates on the fact the cyclist was on the phone despite that not being illegal, and it being completely irrelevant to the collision.

So not completely impartial, no.
I was gonna reply to User9609 but you said it all. +1 for that entire post.

On the subject of the copyright claims he's making, I know youtube are shoddy and just pull everything, but surely a bit of editing and commentary could give a bit of a better chance at it being left alone. Or am I just naive?
The footage is copy right, while it may delay it by a few hours if more than 50% of the footage is copyrighted they just pull the video or they black screen it.

This is all well and good but he's been identified and the matter passed to the police.

I think the various web detectives' time would be better spent identifying the victim so he can decide what he wants to do, if anything.

Ok, there's notions of fair use etc. I stuck a bunch of commentary in a one minute video and included about 10-15s of his footage. We'll see if that makes any difference.

Spot on. I have a similar plan.

[QUOTE 3095453, member: 45"]I think people want to see some kind of remorse. They're not likely to know though, as he's probably hiding in his cellar, rocking.[/QUOTE]
To be fair I think the responses have been really mild - considering he rammed a machine into a an innocent person, injured them and lied to police officer, blamed the victim and appears to have form for similar indiscriminate intimidating physical behavior on the road - alright, there has been a bit of name calling directed to one motorcyclist, many quite justifiable comments about what a nasty thing he did, lots of comments regarding how they are the actions of one idiot and how most other motorcyclist would be/are appalled etc.
All it takes is for a cyclist to jump a red light and comments allover other forums and the rest of the web start calling for all cyclist to be run over, killed stabbed, shot and set fire to - (quite rightly) no-one on this forum has made any threats or encouraged any physical or vigilante action against the man - just that they think he should face justice in the form of police/court action and as you say, show a bit of remorse tather than trying to shred all the digital evidence...
 
fair point tim, I stand corrected to a point - I missed that one and calling to make him homeless isn't great, but I don't think that post is typical of the general mood on the forum...

Make him homeless how? Tell the landlord or agent he rode into a cyclist and he gets evicted? That's not a threat, it's being silly.

It would do the world of good.

I can't see that he "rammed", as has been suggested. I ride a m/bike too and my opinion is that he intended to scare the cyclist, not collide with him. The cyclist is slowing him the gap is not there, he's annoyed, then he's acted utterly stupidly and with reckless disregard for another. He should have been remorseful and tried, the best he could, to make amends. His post-crash behaviour is shocking, I just can't feel any pity for him now.
