Jeez mate are you sure it wasn't the old spider-sense being blunted by being stuck in the cage?
In all seriousness though, it happens so often its not funny. And think what it must be like for the average cage driver, if someone like yourself who has an appreciation of bike riding and actually bothers to look in his rear view mirror gets a fright!
The trouble is, you'll end up with some young guy at the back on a 250 who's trying to keep up and gets out of his depth at the worst possible time - and we all know what happens them. 
time and place, as usual...
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
