Pickup truck came from a side street from my right several hundred yards in front and turned left to oppose me. He then proceeded to turn left into a 'stop n rob' within seconds, turning directly into me. Amazing how the human brain can slow everything down in the split second of adrenaline rush and oh shit!. The first millisecond it began happening my initial thought was there is no way to avoid this, I am going to crash. There was no exit left or right. Gas pumps to the right and a ditch to the left with an oncoming car. Microseconds later instincts take over and you begin to react. First move was off throttle and hard on rear brake, no front brake. If I had pulled the clutch it would have been a crash. I was a bit hard and locked up the rear for a millisecond and began a small slide to the right. My brain immediately let off knowing that it would result in a slide and crash. The F6B is so nice, she righted herself like a viagra erection. Rear brake and no clutch bled a good 10-15 mph which was just enough to go behind the pickup and between his ass and the car he cutoff behind him when he entered the road initially. I had maybe a foot of clearance on either side. I am pretty damn impressed with how that 1000# was able to slow and maneuver so nice. I don't know if my Yamaha cruiser could have pulled that off. Thanks Mr. Honda, you kept an angel out of heaven today.

Tell me your story. I am all jacked up from this and would love to hear your survival stories.
