[Regia-NA] JVC photos

[J. K. Siddorn]

A pheasant flew out of a Freeway verge right across my path the other day.
Broad daylight too. I was doing something over 100 (Volvo 760 GLE, 3litre
V6) and it hit the very edge of the roof, denting the windscreen trim and
making a very LOUD noise! If it had hit the glass, it might have come inside
to get me. Must have been very few intact bones in said bird when it bounced
down the road behind me.

Hit a crow with my shoulder on the bike when I was young. I'd just sat up at
the end of a straight on the Vincent Shadow and had throttled off from 100+.

Ouch ..........

Regards,


Kim Siddorn.

The early bird may get the worm -
but the second mouse gets the cheese!
