Default 1st Kill

Riding home last night and took the back roads. Going about 50 mph and Mr Bunny decided to attack my bike. I didn't swerve or hit the brakes, just focused my eyes down the road. Figured if I tried to avoid him I prolly just hit him anyway and wouldn't be in a good position. Thump thump...got em with both front and rear tires. Bike handled fine, no squish or slip.
Moral of the story...there is no moral, just thought I'd share.

I hate to say it, animal lover that I am, but you probably made the right choice. I have a friend who had a bad accident and screwed up his knee when he tried to dodge a squirrel and lost control of the bike. Now, if that had been a moose, you might have gambled on avoidance.
