New Video - Gator vs Buzzard - on the Road to Ocala

This was my view of a "Show-down" on the ride to Ocala. The first segment is at original size and speed. I then rendered it at half-speed, zoomed-in. I'm sure HondaGal had a better view of the action, she was between me and Big Gator. For best results, watch it full-screen.

That one had suicidal tendencies but we both made it. Close call.

A lot of them do, always slow down for them.

Oh yeah, I read this guy all the way. The others had scattered but this guy was staying. I Reduced speed and Rode to the Right. He lost his nerve and took flight right in front of me. I had to duck for him to clear me.

No harm no foul this time.

I recall that. I think you met us for breakfast right after... Or you were telling the story at breakfast.

yep I remember the kamikaze buzzard Murph, you had to stop and pick feathers and blood out of your fairing. The leftover parts of the bird almost hit me.
