Coming back home at the last left turn 200 feet from my driveway, a kid in a heap with 30 day tags (new purchase) passes me just before I make the left turn. I would have turned right in front of him passing me if I had not heard his engine rev as he passed.
It could have been a nasty mess for me.

Yikes that does sound insanely close.As you know, you have to be proactive to survive on a bike, motorized or not, as most drivers are blind to anything smaller then a dumpster.
Porsche's and small convertibles are on the hit list as well ( me in my old Geo convertible were near invisible to motorist)
