I had a yearling pop out of the woods 60 feet or so in front of me. I spotted it and had enough time to brake, it scampered past, probably looking for Mommy. But if I'd come along 5 seconds sooner. Stupid animals, they'll run right into you.

Kick *** ride you got there! Enjoy the ride and the rest of the season.

Thank you,everyone. This bike has a interesting history which has been confirmed by several people. Part of which. A previous owner lost control crashed and died while riding this bike. Yesterday a Christian Motorcycle Association member blessed this bike. As soon as we opened our eyes from the blessing prayer a butterfly landed on the gas tank and stayed there. It was a sign from my 2 1/2 year old grand daughter we lost 4 years ago letting me know. I am always with you, Pawpaw. She loved butterflies. She is my Guardian Angel.

How cool is that? Obviously I'm talking about the butterfly, losing a baby has got to be one of the most horrible things that can happen in life. God bless your grandbaby and God bless you and your family my friend. That butterfly is absolutely a sign from her saying "Hi Pawpaw, I'm right here with you."
