Plus their long legs ensure that they will probably end up going through the windshield if hit. Exceptions are trains and semi tractors with "moose bars" which are similar to "roo bars" only made of much heavier stock. Moose can also be fairly aggressive if provoked and could easily trample a rider and his bike. People sometimes try to pass and get a hoof through their window when the moose will take another shot as you go by. <br /><br />Thank you all for stopping by and commenting.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-26045789118665917002011-09-20T12:57:37.398-08:002011-09-20T12:57:37.398-08:00I am glad you are still getting some beautiful sun...I am glad you are still getting some beautiful sunshine and rides in.

I especially wanted to see the snowflake wheels powdercoated to match the rest of the bike. I am discovering that the number of "R" bike covens and cults in the hinterlands dramatically outnumber the "K" bike reformed faithful. <br /><br />Now, other than hitting one, can a moose be regarded as something that could bring sa premature end to a motorcyclr ride? Are they really dangerous? <br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack/reep<br />Twisted RoadsJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-27881600350866659512011-09-19T16:41:59.644-08:002011-09-19T16:41:59.644-08:00That is one clean looking RT!

I suspect that there will be at least one more group ride. In the meantime, I'm still commuting everyday. The best time for the hot springs is in the middle of the winter. Nothing like jumping in the outdoor pool when it's -40.<br /><br />RichardRichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-87114533402722776862011-09-19T14:48:05.555-08:002011-09-19T14:48:05.555-08:00Sounds like a nice ride.

When do you usually get snow up there?Dar https://www.blogger.com/profile/14690180541358767168noreply@blogger.com
