No I understand that there were to lanes going your way, I'm just saying that you didn't HAVE to pass the traffic that was, let's face it, going the speed limit. You could have fell into line to the right and never even had this incident. That's all. You were probably speeding but if you weren't.... see what I mean? Anyway, I'm just saying that in some ways you can create your own "luck" by not engaging in certain behaviors.
Do you at least see that the type of vehicle you were operating had zero bearing on the incident? Quite frankly, regardless of what type of vehicle you operate, if you increase the number of miles you're on the road you will of course increase your chances of an accident. Although semi-truck drivers put on millions of miles without accidents and I worked worked for a company for 13 years, driving 200+ miles per day and never had an accident. I just don't understand why you all accept the inevitability of a motorcycle crash regardless of your behavior, training, skill, location or type of bike.
