I think he had enough time to steer to the right of the car. |

MORE than enough time/room to avoid a collision, that was a rookie mistake.

noob doesn't know how to ride, crashes, says it was intentional. probably had to lay her down. anyone worth their salt could have not only seen that coming a mile away but even with blinders on could have avoided it after it had happened. noob needs an ego check before he kills himself.

^Agree. Also, the car had plenty of good reason to stop (pedestrians crossing at a marked crosswalk). Based on the in-video commentary, and the situation, it seems like the guy is making excuses for his lapse in judgement and handling errors.

Idk, seems to me like he was completely distracted which destroyed any reaction time he may have had as well as lacking the skill to avoid the collision once he noticed the situation he was in. Anyone paying attention could have handled the situation without incident.
The decision he made was dumb though, he could have steered right to avoid the car then back left to avoid the cyclists or slowed down behind the cyclists after steering right. |

Yeah, I think if he had just steered right around the car he would have been able to comfortably slow down and continue riding almost as if none of it happened.

It looks like he may have been speeding also.

He mentions that it's a BSA, they've not made bikes since the 70's... in that case just swerve, 40+ year old braking tech & old school tyres won't help much.
