Harley guys with a black bike and black gear are almost invisible sometimes, especially to someone who has their destination on their mind and other distractions in their car. I had five people in the car one day and holy smoke it was hard to concentrate. Cover your brake when needed and when the light turns yellow, and no one us behind you, slam on the brakes once in a while. I've had my brakes on as hard as I can so I know what the tires will do. I went over the bars on my TU250. Chinese tires were just not up to the task. High side.Sorry to hear of your accident; it's not the fault of the tires, one needs to learn the limits of the bike, regardless of what tires are fitted.
Also, never "slam on" the brakes and certainly not when coming to a stop at an intersection. Oil, grease, coolant are present. The place to practice is not in traffic.
