[QUOTE="bowtie_brain, post: 1188392, member: 87396"] DAMIFINO! Instinct from several years of riding in the woods on trail bikes, and having had the exact same thing happen a few years ago when I was in a car that had no ABS. I held it straight and upright until veering was no longer an option. There are 4 alternatives to evaluate in this situation: 1. Break left to the oncoming lane and take the chance he lets off the brakes, assuming there is no oncoming traffic. People can be as unpredictable as a deer in these situations. 2. Break right and go behind him (Odds are better for a miss; no time for the driver to put it in reverse) 3. Hit the front fender (get thrown over the hood) 4. Hit the driver's door (make an impression and take him with me). Option #1 evaporated as I got closer. The braking was going better than expected, so I took Option 2 as soon as I thought I could turn without laying it down or high-siding. [/QUOTE]
