Hit a Racoon!

Hit a dead skunk on a long day one of a cross country trip. No time to wash the bike because of schedule...."PU" factor was bad at any speed below 40. Good theft deterrent though.

Hit a racoon on the way in to work this morning! Pushed me around a little but kept it straight and upright. Gotta admit it got the heart rate up a bit tho. Driving in in the mornings (4 A.M.) up here in the Wisconsin Northwoods is an experiance, can't take your eyes off the ditches for a second. In the last 2 weeks I've seen deer, racoons, possium, rabbits, turkeys, fox and a coyote cross in front of me.

Stay Safe!!

Yea you have got to love the critters in Wisconsin. The wife was coming home from the Hospital (health issues). The oldest son was driving ( I was already in the hospital for an overnight stay) when Bamm....$6k worth of damage to the Tahoe. And the wife was sad for the fawn that didn't know that momma was now a statistic. Great ending to a wonderful week. On a great note though the Doc gave me a thumbs up on the old ticker for another year.
 
Yesterday on a quiet mountain road SW of Pueblo a PU screamed by us hauling livingroom stuff and about 2 miles later we crested a hill I recognize the sofa as it is sitting crossways in the two lane highway. Had a clear view of the guy's panic u-turn to get back to it. We had no problems but a car would have and I couldn't help thinking about the "what if " part of motorcycling.

You got that right! Whenever I find myself behind a pickup or flatbed truck hauling junk I find a way to get around it. Too many times I have seen stuff come flying off of them and like yourself I also think of the "what if" factor.
