I usually try to avoid posting something negative about a post, but I had to in this case. It's certainly nothing personal, but you've apparently never ridden a motorcycle at any length/mileage because we're constantly looking for escape routes when riding.
but I'm with you in that there are a ton of morans out there on sportbikes. but I honestly don't think it's the case here.
I owned a motorcycle from the time I was 18 until I was 25. The only reason he would have had to go between the cars and out into the intersection was because he was either following too close to the car in front of him or he was going over the speed limit. The car in front of him had its brake lights on for quite a while and it had no problem stopping.
I understand the concept of escape routes when somebody pulls out in front of you or crosses over into your lane because they don't see you, but having to escape the vehicle directly in front of you is 100% rider error.
agree; there are lots of things we don't know about the rider (like the ones you and I mentioned). Even then, I think it was evasive action. either hit the car in front or avoid. Now, I will say avoiding into an intersection is 50/50 at best. more likely to be turned into a steaming pile of Cassel than not.
