Did they crash? Hard to tell what's in the ditch.

Egads! 8O I hope you and your bike are okay, Pete. :? I wondered what was lying by the side of the road. I thought you were the photographer, and not the subject of the photograph. :roll:

Didn't hurt the bike the odd scrape on it dosn't matter :roll: ... just goes to show yer never know whats just around the corner.. Usaly stock or a 4WD.. don't often find old people wandering on the road in the middle of nowhere... 8O

Everywhere I ride in Idaho is open range for cattle, sheep, and even llamas. :roll: I frequently encounter cattle on paved roads. However, the motorists are definitely the most dangerous. :evil:
Indeed, it's highly unusual to find old people occupying the middle of the road, out in the middle of nowhere. 8O If their hearing is not completely gone, you would think they would get off the road when they hear motorcycles approaching. :? Spud

I'm glad to hear that you and your bike are ok. Did somebody leave the old folks out there for zombies to find?
