Watch the bike after the Subaru!

[Motogiro]

The Subie goes into the shoulder and raises very fine silt. What happens after, that many may not pick up on, but we as riders will see right away is the bike that looses the rear for a short and recovers with out incident. You can see the rider perplexed by what he slid on. I know this first hand from a crash I had in 2010 where my front wasn't tracking anymore in a fast turn on a mountain road.. There was a wide dirt shoulder and a dirt road that cars exited from to a regularly paved roadway mid turn. I hit it fast and lost it fast! I was able to walk away but had some painful injuries including 3 broken ribs. My 09 R1 was totaled.
Interestingly it's not always something that is obvious like sand gravel or a slick. We get silt that's like talcum powder in our very dry SoCal climate. You usually never see it coming.
