A lot of bugs, a cat and a ferret...

A CAR...in 1991..was the biggest thing.

Out riding last week my friend hit a crow. It was in the middle of the road and as he approached he expected it to fly. It didn`t, it hopped straight in front of him and committed Hari Kari.

It was a weird thing to see.

I found a mouse in my truck's brake rotor, hit 3 deer and dodged many more, and a bird that flew into my open window and actually got killed by hitting the inside of my back window.

I hit a cat, an armadillo, and a few squirrels.

I've got 3 birds so far and if I wanted to swerve a bit I could add to the tally one small snake.

I hit an owl (or it hit me rather) last fall. I like to believe that he made it out ok.

Bugs, a big ASS grass hopper, a pigeon, snake, deer near misses and the worst was a black lab that jumped between the back of my front wheel and the motor on my GS1100. I felt terrible! The father and his 5 year old son were crossing the road, and the dog was about 20 feet behind and was running to catch up. After I hit the dog the boy was crying, I was crushed and the father was yelling at the boy to shut up. I wanted to punch the father. I appoligized and road off. I felt terrible that entire week.

One rather long snake, felt bad about that one, some rare species in the area, but it was him or me!

Grew up there, in Brockville. I haven't had the chance to ride the Parkway yet, but am going to this summer. I now live 6 hours away, but I can't wait!! I am trailering the bike, as I have 2 kids and need some extra seats lol But after I drop the kids off at Grammas, we are going to head to Parry Sound for SportBike, a good 6-7 hour ride.

My road kill tally? Bugs, many many mayflies and a couple big azz June bugs, Jeezzz, those can give ya a wake up call when they smack into your face shield.
