Picked up a few of those in the Eastern Cape in South Africa off the highway... Early mornings especially. But be careful, you gotta hold them out front away from you.. I had one pee`d all over me... Not a smell that I would use as aftershave, not to even talk about their bite....

I love riding in the curves on country roads but some days are just filled with wildlife in the wrong places. First one was the deer on the other side of a nice curve. Mommy deer runs off to the right and watch for Bambi leaping on the left:

And shortly after that I met Big Bird having lunch:

Your bike sounds mean as hell!

Bikenut · 08-02-2023, 05:34 PM

Played a little yesterday. I am constantly amazed at how a 9/10ths sized 17hp bike ridden by a 6' 1" 235lb fat old man (ya... that would be me) handles through curves.

I know that "fat old man" part very well!

Bikenut · 08-04-2023, 05:30 PM

Not sure if the tire tracks will show up on little screen phones but I'm guessing someone in a car took the inside of the corner at high speed. I don't care if folks take curves at speed but geez.. stay in yer own lane so ya don't endanger oncoming cars and especially bikes!

Bikenut · 08-08-2023, 08:12 PM

Out playing today then......
Hard to see Mommy deer crossing first, then a Bambi, then... surprise!!... another Bambi!!!!

Bikenut · 08-10-2023, 06:01 PM

Found some gravel in the middle of my line through a curve. KPR 200 wiggled a little but just carried on.

Stopped at what is locally called "The Hippie Tree" yesterday. It's a favorite spot for riders to pull over and B S for a bit. And obviously someone not only created it but is taking very good care of it and the area around it.

That sucker had a hard life! Looks like it got zapped by lightning. I love the little, almost pointless, definitely passive aggressive trash can. I hope that thing is anchored to the ground because a stiff wind might blow it into traffic.

Bikenut · 08-20-2023, 09:00 PM

Went out and played today and found some new curves...

Bikenut · 08-21-2023, 08:25 PM

A little math.........
KPR 200 + curvy road + 75 yr old man with aftermarket knees so he has to keep the arch of his feet on the pegs + feeling frisky ='s

Looks like I not only need to make new shoe skid plates but also need new shoes. It was a very fun day today.

Ummmm.... I know I committed sacrilege today by leaving my KPR 200 home and taking my 400 KRT instead but I wanted to share this encounter with several deer. Never saw so many deer until this year. I was beginning to wonder if he (she? gender neutral?) was ever going to cross the road.
