So today I learned what a group of zebra is called. Thanks,
I googled it.
I've always been amused by collective nouns in English, but I pretty much have to look them up every time.
What's a good collective for bikers?
A Forum?

I believe this begs this question:
“Why did the chicken cross the road?”
Answer: “Because the chicken thinks he is photogenic and want the ferret to take his picture.”

Crossed paths with a deer not far from my house. Afraid the CB is more dinged up than I am.
Just had to try out my new Conti Road Attack3's after dinner.
I am fine, a few scrapes. Got the 19 tooth front, 37 rear on and had to try it all out. Far as I could tell the deer is fine too.
Bike felt great, I wasn't pushing it, probably should avoid running around here toward evening.

Uh-oh...glad you're ok Ben, but did deer collide with you? Bike go down?
RE: Animals! - Ben70_imp - 05-08-2020
Yes and yes. It was actually two of them, they cut into the road from the brush and tried to run in front of me. the nearer one tried to turn away as I braked, but the other one bumped it into me. There was no oncoming traffic and I just grabbed a bunch of brake, edged to the left and was not going very fast on impact. My wife and cousin got the bike on a trailer and I will have to assess damages tomorrow.
They are pretty common around here, I hit one with a car about 10 years ago.

Sorry to hear about that, Ben, but glad you’re OK.

Man that's a bummer Ben. Sorry to hear that.
