Wowzers...

This is where some solid track braking skills can save your bacon on the street. The vid shows he was going 85mph when the truck came into sight with about 200ft of pavement to work with. Anyone with decent track skills can come to a complete stop in that distance from that speed WITH room to spare.

However it is the public road, he was out riding his vision, sounds like he locked the rear brake a bit too, but not sure. What he did well was see an opening/escape route and he used it.

Lucky rider...
