Now you're coming into it

The only one recent that I can even come close to remembering. I was headed up to Hooters to host the booth for a poker run. Had the RC. Turned left at a light, everything got straightened up but I couldn't buzz through traffic because 2 cages were side-by-side. In traffic I ride VERY cautiously and don't like being next to cages. But I was at the door of a Dodge Ram who was pulling a drag car when he starts coming over without looking or warning. Hit the brake very hard and started moving toward yellow line. Missed the back edge of the trailer by an inch or two. Dropped two gears and changed into the right lane and buzzed by him right quick.
