WOW!! That is an amazing story!! Glad to hear you made the right decision...something to learn by...I had a cage pass me on the right, as I was going to make a right hand turn... I had the blinker on...What is WRONG with people these days?? As I used to say "Why are people in such a hurry to race to their death??"
Let's not imagine the consequences if you were in a cage yourself..What color is your cape??

Great riding and even greater restraint. I'm afraid I would have turned around and chased the SOB until I could put a brick through his windshield.
yeah, cagers passing on the right when I'm signalling for a right turn always ****es me off. I keep in mind these days that my turning on a turn signal in no way gives me right of way or preceedence over idiots. I always do a visual confirmation of being clear to turn prior to commencing my turn. If someone is coming up and I think they MAY try to pass me on the right, I go past my intended turn and turn when I'm sure I'm clear. Better to be a couple minutes late or slightly miffed than run over. 
I hate being run over. Its so damned annoying. LOL

As much as I would have liked to have run down the black F250 and ripped that guys head off, when on a motorcycle, it is essential, no matter what happens, to maintain self control and remain cool, calm and methodical. You need to remain as emotionless as a computer out there. You want to get angry, stop the bike, shut it off, get off, and then have your tantrum. LOL

Earl, with your Matrix tactics, I think you'll be alright
I think I will keep doing my swerve practice, just in case......... LOL
Swerve practice is.................find an empty stretch of road and weave the dotted line at about 60 mph. Every third of fourth stripe, stop the weave centered on the stripe. Do it for a couple of miles, in and out between every stripe. At first, it seems to require control inputs too fast to be reasonable.
With practice, you can precisely weave the stripes and stop the weave on a stripe. The practice appears to have come in handy. It required no thought at all to immediately do it.

2 questions: When did the adrenaline kick in and when you started to "vent" how long was it before you stopped. I hope that guy has nightmares for years.

I stopped about 15 miles down the road at my usual spot for a stretch and a gatorade. The whole incident, from realizing my situation, acting, and flashing past and between the oncoming cars/truck took less than 1 second.
There wasnt any adrenaline. Snap your fingers. Thats the time that was involved. Emotions are best left in a box at home when you ride. Focus and concentrate, always.

I'm glad you're still with us. Good advise on the practice maneuver.
Holy S.......glad you pulled thru that.....
This brings to light one of motorcycling dilemmas- while some think limiting seat time may lessen the exposure to risk, it does NOTHING for honing ones skills. Seems that you were quick witted and chose to shoot the gap to safety. Sadly im not sure if I could have reacted as quickly.

Lest the elements of luck or instinct be overstated in this amazing story, in fairness , you have been preparing for it by exploring the fine white line. In the time available the decision had to have been subconscious but rehearsed to the point that it appeared instinctive.
Another reason to develop skills. How often do we hear of undercornering and the marine rescue will tell you that in many cases the crew gives up before the boat.
How viral would that footage have been ? ... and can I give the police your number next time they catch me snaking down the road?
