* Edit - I'm not trying to bash you - and there definitely are douche bag groups out there that pull **** - I just have some questions about the story.
So - he takes his helmet off and starts bashing the drivers side of your car..
The helmet would be in his throttle hand.. With his hand off the throttle that bike would have slowed down quite a bit in a pretty short amount of time - and you say he was 2 up?.

The thing is.. There isn't a damned thing a motorcycle can do vs a car..
Trying to force a car off the road? On a bike? I mean.. Last time I had a contest over a lane with a car the car won... I did some pretty awesome acrobatics through a couple of lanes of rush hour traffic on 99..
That would take a pretty stupid rider who obviously wouldn't care about getting his *** run over. If I felt threatened in a car vs a bunch of goons on bikes they better not get in my way or they are going to taste asphalt.. Then I would call 911 while driving and have them instruct me on where to bring the pursuing bikes..

Story definitely has holes in it. Bouncer is correct, you can hear next to nothing on a moving bike.
if they damaged your car I just can't understand why you wouldn't call the police and go after them legally. they damaged your property.
*IF* you are not at all at fault you have absolutely no reason not to call the cops.
Some things don't add up.
But if it indeed happened exactly how you say that sux man.
I'm on my 2nd bike and don't ride in groups much, but I HAVE seen a few groups where everyone thinks they're king of the world and does whatever they want on the road. They will get whats coming to them. Sooner or later.

Cops absolutely love the street we were on so that leads me to believe the bikers weren't from that area. On my way back I saw a couple on the exact street.

Dude, if they are staying with you, thats when you get on the phone with the cops ASAP. Even if they cops can't catch them, they'd be able to get at least one plate number. Kudos to you for not elevating the situation by trying to fight them off.

Anyways...
Good luck with your forthcoming concealed weapons charge.. (Or getting shot in a road rage incident - hopefully you'll just catch a charge)

Who said anything about video games, people think they are so bad *** and hard core, I would not take that take that from anyone. Your mess with me, hit my car, and try to run me off the road.... I'm fearing for my life it's self defense. And I can carry whenever and wherever I want so don't worry about weapon charger

Hah.. Another angle to consider..
20 bikes side of the road - people everywhere - and a pickup truck? Sounds like they were scraping a bike up off the road - I.E. someone crashed.
Honestly.. You should have slowed down and passed safely.. It actually sounds more like there was an accident or a breakdown with that truck being there - and you blazed through at an unsafe speed in the dark when you knew there were bikes all over a dark road.

Another thought just crossed my mind...
Reflectors.. Most folks remove all reflectors.. The guys that want to stay somewhat legal will leave or install a red reflector under their license plate (or on the plate bolts).
But club guys - SBF / etc. don't give much of a rip about being legal.. So if you saw a sea of reflectors I highly doubt it was any sort of illicit club.
Since your situational awareness skills obviously seem lacking - you absolutely sure you didn't clip another pedestrian or bike (downed or otherwise) in your little out of control high speed flyby? - If so those riders might have been after you / trying to make you pull over for a hit and run...
