Yesterdays little journey yeilded some interesting encounters with some of the native wildlife, and even an introduced species or two. A little black wobbly hopped along the road for a bit around Eildon before deciding that the bush was a far shorter and safer route. Then 15 minutes later while we were having a little dip, a guy on a litre bike collected Bugs with his back wheel while on the gas exiting a turn. Poor little bugs flew out the other side, and ragdolled it to the side of the road, and then lay down for a long sleep.

But it got me thinking I have heard a few interesting wildlife encounter stories, and even had a few of my own, including Deer, of all things across the Tawonga Gap. A good friend of mine Fcuked 12 sheep too. 200klms an hour into a flock being hearded along the road. Missing a few fingers now n had his shoulder rebuilt!!!

So how about hearing a few stories about your motorcycle wildlife encounters. Good or bad!!!!

I hope that wasn't the easter bunny otherwise there will be a lot of disapointed kids out there !

I know a guy who collected a deer in the national park south of sydney, I've collected a rabbit and a few birds including a goose (sorry gosling) but thats about it.
