Three weeks ago, bugs a plenty (obviously not as big/splattery/squishy/juicy or tasty as english/aussie ones) however they did impair my vision. So I cleaned them off with water at every fuel stop. That foiled the little buggers, :wink: :wink: :wink:

Just be greatfull your weather is getting rideable... :roll: ours is on the decline now :cry: :cry: :cry: so out with thermals etc.. :roll: :roll:

However it cuts down the insect problem.... increases the cattle, sheep, deer, pig, and f..n dogs tho..

Driving home in the car last night... *BA-DUMP!* I saw him snuffling along the side of the road, so slowed and pulled into the middle. Why do they wait till you're alongside, then hurl themselves under you wheels?

I always feel bad when I hit bunnies or stuff (and always have to stop to make sure they're dead), but was glad I wasn't on a bike. Hit a bird on the bike (a yellow thing 'bout the size of a starling) completely trashed my radiator. Had a few near misses with deer too.


Young lad starts new job at a builders yard. Boss asks him to take the pick-up truck to a local supplier and get some stock. Boss gets a call sometime later from a panicked lad. "Boss, I was driving down this lane past all these farms, and I hit a pig!"
"Is there anyone around?" asks the boss.
"Not that I can see. What do I do, there's an awful squealing noise..."
"Best thing is to end it then. Grab a shovel out the back and bash it's brains out."
"Right-oh boss... *clump* *clump* *clump* *shing* *squeeeeee!* *swoosh* *CLUNG!* "Boss?..."
"What is it lad... you ok now?"
"Yeah, but his motorcycle's still stuck under the truck."
Voted most likely to be found dead in park bushes following an act of autoerotic asphyxiation.
