one of the few times that laying the bike down (what the biker in the oncoming lane did) seems like a not the worst idea in the world (although I suppose if it had been an SUV with more ground clearance he might have ended up under it).
aside to mikemm03, Ron and others. Your point is maybe valid but they'd have been encouraging the idiot to pass on a double yellow. That was just an ugly mix of bikes and cars - the only way to win that game is not to play (that place, that day, that time).
