Posted that in the first post. I did not look at him, didn't think about him hitting me, just about maintaining control and not hitting the curb and I was inches from it at 45 MPH IN SAND!
It was the only way out.

Why the ALL CAPS? No need to explain yourself again, or be defensive about it.
You did what you had to do, and luckily you survived. You even got to brag about it here.
That's not my point. My point is that you can do everything right while driving a bike and still end up injured or dead. Because on a motorcycle there is virtually nothing between you and the impact of the crash - even tho it's usually caused by the other driver.
