Barry what happened to the poodle
was it tragic? bowled over a big ginger tomcat with a head the shape of an old time letterbox (feral cat) last summer on the way to gin gin(funny sounding australian wheatbelt town) in the middle of a fast sweeper where you don't or can't change your line,just got lucky the planets lined up.Riding mate right behind me reckons the cat would have made it if he'd kept going straight across the road but he swerved and ran away,mate said i ran right over his tail and straight up the spine,turned it into an instant bear rug.Did'nt worry the front wheel but the back end stepped sideways and tightened my line up so who's to not like that.
