The guy in the vette is the real victim. Just minding his own business. I have no problem being hard on the rider because he is on T-bird. The stupid ass wasn't taking care of business. You don't ham it up for the camera on a freakin curve. The bird is heavy to begin with and if you don't pay attention it will get away from you. I've over shot curves many times and I WAS paying attention. 
A good push on the right handlebar would have taken care of the problem. He had the time and the space but didn't do the right thing. It's as if he saw the vette and then drove right into it (he probably did). The proper response needs to be practiced until it's automatic, almost muscle memory. He obviously was thinking about what to do rather than doing it. Counter steer is counter intuitive, it needs to be practiced until it is done without thinking. I once rode a Honda 350 into a farm field at over 50 MPH by turning the handlebars one way and the bike going the other. Think, practice, think, practice as if your life depends upon it, because it does.
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
