couple weeks ago i caught a cardinal on my brake lever...

at least it looked like a cardinal at 80mph... the brake lever turned the bird inside out as it hit... splattering guts and feathers...

scratch

Quote from: Roadstergal:o Scratch, I would be very afraid of your cat at this point!

That's our beer drinking cat, he's too mellow...once we got him some catnip, he stuck his nose in the stuff, took a big, deep, and long breath and then bolted off...later that afternoon we saw him sitting in the backyard staring at the back fence...just sitting there...we watched him for about half an hour, commenting that it must be a really good movie he's watching...and then threw a rock nearby him...he just turned his head real slowly and looked at us...and then went back to watching the fence.
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

OK ... that might not have been catnip ... you get your stash misplaced again scratch ...  :lol:  :lol:
I hit something a few years ago ... and it was full of honey ... my friend decided to pick and eat it when we got to where we were going ... Luckily I had just cleaned the thing ... and didn't look forward to cleaning all that gooey mess off ... He said he's eaten helmet honey ... headlight honey... windshield honey ... before and headlight honey was the best ...
Cool.

had a bird hit me on 460 in Virginia at 60mph. I thought I got taken out by a 12 gauge. had a nice black an blue spot in my chest where it hit.  hope to never feel that again
People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs.
