I think because he was focused on the road in front of him and not expecting a motorcycle to drop out of the sky, he didn't have time to react. There is a 12,000 ft drop off to the right!I'm surprised at two things..... one, he didn't appear to brake anywhere near hard enough when the hazard first appeared, two, other bikes rode past AFTER the event!
