Saw Bike almost get whacked by a truck

Saw a guy yesterday on some dual sport bike come down the road closely followed by a pick up. When the bike got near the intersection he cut a sudden big arc to the left, putting himself into the first third of the oncoming lane -- looked to me like a sudden left turn. The pickup driver though so too, and accelerated hard to go thru the intersection. Well, you've probably guessed it, but the bike was really turning right, and just did a big question mark manoever. As he cut back across the right lane, the pick up almost creamed him. Biker never looked back at the truck or changed speed. Don't think he ever realized how stupid he'd just been.:crazy:

 

unreal how fast a good day can go wrong, yesterday while in my truck, an old lady pulled out into the two lanes in front of me and stopped dead. She had trucks and cars slamming on everything, just so she could wait to cross and start travelling the other way, she had that look on herface like nothing was wrong. I just pictured her doing that and me flying over the hood of her car, and then her probally driving off agin like "not my fault'. Unreal whats out on the road today. Pissing me off just still thinking about her, she was old and all, but I would still have slapped the dentures out of her mouth if she were to wreak my truck, I had my daughter with me also.
Drive safe everyone

 

Used to be you only did the question mark turn when driving a cage with manual steering. Maybe his bike didn't have power steering?

 

Yeah, I think it was al older model XT600. Probably had manual shift and a hand brake, too.

 

It might have looked like this?
