But I nearly bagged a brace !!! ..... 100mph, sweeping bend, dual carriageway, overtaking a couple of cars..... two of them ran from the centre verge and stopped....... just missed them.

A badger did that to me…
Tight right hander on a crest.
Take that particular corner more slowly now!

It's a worry isn't it...... Do you pin the throttle, Brake hard, swerve or just hope for the best ?

Mate of mine hit a pheasant, on a blackbird (you couldn’t make it up).
Bloody mess. Literally.
Bike had minor damage.
His jacket was a write off.

I had a Marsh Harrier get a good grip on my crash helmet a couple of years ago. They're awfully big and strong close up!
Almost fell off, trying to stop. Put the fear of God into most of the other Triumph Owners on the ride out. Have been known as Hawkeye ever since.....

Devon has more Daft narrow lanes than any other County.
