Last month, June, I saw a Wild Turkey, the bird, fly across my bow in the back woods of San Patricio. Also on the same ride I almost nailed a black lab on IH37 North out of Corpus Christi. I was doing about 70 mph. I saw it coming from the median, and I slowed to about 55 hoping it would stop. It did not. I was in the process of mating in new pads on the front, but the bike slowed quickly to about 40 in a heartbeat and I missed it, thank God. No ABS and I did not even lock up the wheels. 50 years of riding has to be good for something! PS....my heart took a little while to slow back down...
