Well it was an illegal move, but i didn't see a blinker coming from the car at any point.

Bummer for the biker.

No blinker needed...the road bends to the left...biker was 110% at fault.

that happened to me at the pet store, I was pulling into a parking spot, and a guy passes me to the left, luckily he slams his brakes and avoids T-boning me. Then he yells at me, I was about to pull him out of his car and yolk him up, but I guess I just pussied out in my old age.

The road does bend to the left, but there's an intersection prior to the bend. The biker tried passing the car when the car was turning onto the intersecting road...STUPID BIKER! And passing on double yellow is bad...

Car hit his brakes, even though there is no blinker, someone that slows down for an intersection most likely will turn onto it. Also if someone is going slow down a road and slowing at streets or tapping brakes they prob have no clue where they are, which probably pissed they guys on the bikes off.

As much as I'd hate to say it, the cager was not at fault here. But damn man when you overtake a cager you don't do it like my grandma, drop the hammer and get by as quickly as possible!

He was on a Gix 6 which had plenty of power but he hesitated after seeing the brake lights and took too long to make a decision. Then after deciding to brake he locks up the rear like a typical rookie. If he stayed off the rear and was hard on the front he might've saved it at that low speed...dumbass.
