The cars on the left were stop for the truck. If he was paying attention to the front, he would have saw that truck turning and slow down for it.

Wow he was really lucky. I'm very surprised the truck even stopped! Another foot and he would have lost his.

haha at first I was like, "PLEASE SLIDE UNDER THE TRUCK!" just like in the movies.

Glad he's ok. Looked like a pretty good lay down to me.

WTH was the truck turning right from the left lane for anyway?

yea because the truck was too long to get inside the driveway from right lane. That's why the cars were stopped to let him go, I think. The rider did look away towards the gas station (?) for a sec. Maybe that's why he didn't see what was going on ahead

Not really a lowside, more like a bail.

he definitely didnt even try breaking. I think he had enough space to stop if he sat back and really got on the break.. he is lucky though. if that driver didnt realize what happened then he would be in alot of pain and down one bike
