Obligatory glad your okay. Is your bike totaled? How are you getting back home?
Did you get a tag number?
Did he just swing into you?
Were you doing something "wrong" or unexpected?

Not even a company.
Red OTR tractor pulling a reefer.

Pretty much. I was not quite halfway past the trailer when he abruptly changed lanes without signalling.

I was passing him, left lane of a 2-lane Interstate.

Welcome back! Haven't seen you in a while.
Thanks for answering. I'm glad too you're OK.
If you were cats you'd've used up 10 lives....EACH!
Seriously, what can a biker do in that situation? Flash your lights I suppose.

OR accelerate faster when passing.
That's one of the reason's why I'd seriously consider a liter bike as my next one.
Nothing scarier than not having enough power to accelerate out of danger.

Too bad, but they're out there
Glad you and your wife ok. Sorry about the bike, not much consolation but it can be fixed or replaced if you choose. Your life and health are most important.
glad your ok ,but having driven tractor trailer myself, i wouldnt doubt that he didn't see you .stay safe
Nowadays no one wants to get into the trucking trade, so a lot of drivers have very little experience and reefer work (IMO) really sucks, so I bet your driver was a rookie. Glad you're ok. Were you riding your Sportster?

I was going about 80. Just how fast should I go to pass?

My wife is ADAMANT that he saw me, and ran me off the road deliberately-he was watching in the mirror, and swerved at me on purpose.
