    Morning all,

    Cheers!

    There are plenty of decent roads between you and West Bay, how much you enjoy them is dependant on the volume of traffic o_O: unamused::poop:

    I wondered when I saw the picture of your front tyre!

    I had a quite large bird of prey swoop down across the road I was blasting along last night, thought it was trying to pluck me off the bike! it caught the left bar, the clutch lever and my hand, unfortunately killed it outright, would have been worse if it had hit me full on, it was quite a size.

    Yes I’ve had a few near misses with birds, pigeons seem incredibly thick!!

    There where two rocks in the road, I just managed to wiggle the bike so I didn’t hit it dead on. Made the old bars shake a bit.
