MLeake speaks truth about the slow-mo time frame... Lemme expound a tiny bit of REAL LIFE... While I had time to make MANY thoughts from time I heard tires screeching 120 feet behind me... Including the BLUE EYES of the gal waiting to leave the subdivision I was trying to turn left into...

DEPTH PERCEPTION REQUIRES REAL TIME EVALUATION...

As I was laying on my back run slap over by what I saw screeching up on me, i was UNABLE to determine a cognizant DEPTH to my FIELD OF VIEW... I had to ask my dad... "Was it a white Ford truck or white Ford VAN that hit me..." Back in the 1989 days... You had to know how close the two looked or determine DEPTH.... I had thought "GOOSE IT AND RUN HELL BENT FOR LEATHER" heck "YOUR MUFFLERS ARE CLOGGED IT WILL STALL OR CHUG... JUST BALE"... etc...

Last thought before impact? Left ankle on seat and right hand on throttle/grip... "When I get up I am gonna whoop this feller's butt for smashing my bike..."

Not a shooting incident but SUPER HIGH SPEED SITUATION....
