I had, as a teen in 1968, owned and ridden a 1966 Jawa 175cc motorcycle (off road) for about two years.  I found that it was very exciting and enjoyed myself tremendously.  When I had just reached the age of twenty-nine, I got a case of motorcycle fever and decided to buy another one.  I wonder sometimes if this was, perhaps, to retain my youthfulness, if this is possible. Shortly after buying a 1974 Suzuki 250 enduro motorcycle, I found myself in the following situation: As I was driving home from work one evening, in the early fall of 1979, I was behind a school bus.  This can at times, become annoying if you are behind it for any amount of time.  This day I was.  I was quite familiar with the road and I knew there was a long, straight stretch of road just ahead.  I stopped behind the bus along the center line so I could see into the oncoming lane of the highway.  There were no cars there.  'When the bus leaves this stop,' I thought, 'I can safely pass it.' After a few moments the bus starts to move forward.  I noticed the red flashing lights stop blinking.  As I pulled out, I again looked down the other side of the two lane highway.  There were no cars in sight. I moved to the left lane and began passing the bus.  As I was about half-way around, I realized the bus was slowing down a little.  I eased up on the throttle but continued on.  Suddenly, from a driveway on the right, a car crossed the highway in front of the bus and me. Since the car was turning toward me, into the lane I was in, I had no place to go.  There was an embankment on the left, so I had to go right.  The bus was now nearly stopped but still moving.  I knew that if would apply the brakes, I would surely hit the car at the driver's door. Quickly, I swerved to the right directly in front of the bus and then left behind the car, narrowly missing the drainage ditch on the right. As I drove on, I could hardly believe what had just happened.  I was only inches from the two vehicles and the shoulder of the road.  I realized that I was miraculously still alive.  I knew that God's divine protection was indeed over me.
