Isle of Man TT 2017 - evening lap - near miss with bike

A drive over the one way mountain on 28th May 2017 at 1930hrs.

tl;dr: Wait until you are sure the biker has seen you before committing to the overtake.

Not much traffic and very nearly a clear run, until a bloke on a bike switched lanes! He was close to being punted off the side of the mountain. I normally give bikes plenty of room, this guy looked like he was staying left and he wasn't carrying too much speed.

There is plenty of fast metal lapping the mountain, much quicker then me. Please use your mirrors!
