Well, today took the cake so to speak. I am about 10 miles into my 15 mile commute. I was stopped at a light listening to the radio. Out of the corner of my eye I see a large female turkey, in the intersection making a bee line run to the front of my bike. She stops right in front of the tire and starts pecking at it. I stands up on my toes and look over the bat wing and she looks up at me. Then she comes around to my left side and starts trying to peck at my knee. All the traffic just stops to look at this old guy and turkey having a sparing match. Boot to beak.( read as alot of pecking and kicken here).... Her head is at the same height as my air horn so I give her a blast, nothing. She keeps attacking. I rev the motor, stock pipes, nothing. When the people behiend me get the coffee out of there nose and start beeping their horn, nothing so I just blew through the red light and off to work. Watch it guys EVERYTHING is out to get us. Bet I could have taken her in round #2.........
Thats some funny $hit right there! I'm in northern MI, and live in the country. Turkey are a daily hazard up here, even had a few make aggressive moves in my direction, but none have ever come closer than 5 or 6 feet. Up here we have to stop daily and allow mama and her babies to cross.
Now that is the funniest damn thing I've heard this morning! Thanks for the post bro!
P.S., I've got a 47 mile commute, and 20 of that is under construction...makes for a s*&tty ride on two wheels, especially when those cage monkeys are texting, emailing, doing makeup etc....:-(
