As it got closer it started getting closer to the side of the road nearer to me. I noticed a spot up ahead where I could pull in between parked cars and pulled in as it passed me.

When it went by a guy was leaning out the window hanging onto the side mirror with a baseball bat in his hand. Luckily they just kept going.

I will never ride without a mirror.
Of all the "mirror stories" that I've read, which is quite a few, this one will definitely stick with me. Thanks curly666.
