I really envy you Americans. About the most exiting wildlife we have in the UK is the odd badger. Although I did end up with a cracked rib once when riding my GSXR11 without a protective jacket and an equally suicidal pigeon hit me in the chest as I was doing about 120mph. Still, I ended up better off than the pidgeon.

Ride in today was great, nice and cool, dry, legs full of energy as I've driven in the last 2 days due to a broken finger joint.

Currently hissing with rain blowing in all directions out the office window - going to be a soggy ride home... looking forward to a dram or two of whiskey and a hot bath at the end of it though.
