And then I think after wards "how the Foc did I manage to swerve around that"

Some might disagree, but I'd not have swerved, simply emergency braked and controlled the bike to stay upright. I don't mean deliberately hit them, simply make a controlled stop with a blast on the horn.

Sadly I only have my word for it and my memory is a little all over the place from my head smacking off the road but from what I recall they did just run out of nowhere, it was so dark on the path and my light was green I didn't see them until they were less than 10 feet in front of me, and at 30mph I just did not have time to brake

Any crash you can walk away from is a 'good crash' grant

It's good that you focus on the bike, by the time you get it fixed up you'll be ready to get back in the saddle.

I know buddy and I should be more grateful about how lucky I was, just can't help thinking about the bike :'(
I will get it fixed up and be back riding in no time I promise that
