I love fall in Texas. Early this evening, Steph and I decided it was time for a ride. I imagined that we'd just do a short jaunt around town, but we got carried away by the beautiful weather. We ran across a rider on a Moto Guzzi California, and he recommended a place in Lake Jackson for dinner. We followed him, and enjoyed the impromptu group ride. After dinner, a quick stop at the local Walmart (short socks are not fun in cool weather at 85 MPH) and then we zipped home. Beautiful ride, perfect weather. Life is good. Sobering thought: On the way, we saw the aftermath of a truck/deer wreck, and it wasn't pretty. What's the consensus on deer whistles? Do they work? -- Albert Nurick '97 Honda Pacific Coast '93 Honda Helix '87 Honda Helix
nope. best tale i have is a report from an EMT driver who was en route with full lights and sirens on the vehicle and they still slammed into a deer that wouldn't get out of the way. true story. you think a whistle is going to do any better than an ambulance in full display ? best advice ? go deer hunting and help control the deer population. donate the meat to the local food bank if you don't want it. deer season starts in nonvember. seriously, the deer population is out of control and they cause tremendous damage and injury every year to drivers. -- jm '73 R75/5 Toaster (not for sale) '99 R1100RT (in use) '00 FLHRCI (sold!)

Amen to that. Our quick ride ended up covering 120 miles and three counties. And I think we'll do it again tonight. -- Albert Nurick '97 Honda Pacific Coast '93 Honda Helix '87 Honda Helix
