[QUOTE="MEM, post: 872689, member: 15294"] Ho-lee CRAP! It was NOT an uneventful CFR! HAPPILY (and fortunately) no one was hurt in the making of this rally :blink: We - Bill, Don, Seth and I - left Pictou this morning. Stopped for Bill to add air to his tires, took a wrong turn out of the rotary and Don turned his bike off when we stopped to turn around. Wouldn't start ! Battery ? We were on a slight incline; Seth gave him a push and it started right up. We headed for Moncton where it was decided the battery was actually ok - prolly loose connection. Don bought a trickle charger anyway. They'll check the connections when they stop in Lincoln, ME, tonight. We parted ways in Freddy about an hour ago in torrential rain :( Me and the moose? Poor thing - big cow moose [B]darted[/B] out between Kevin and me. I saw her only when she hit the asphalt. She took one look, saw it was ME (!)and she fell down - about 15 feet from me almost on the centre line - in her haste to beat it back into the woods! She really did try to stop and she skidded. I felt sorry for her - she flailed around for a few seconds trying to get to her feet. I was watching her in my mirror. She made it up and loped back into the woods - seemingly unscathed. Scott had seen the bull around the same spot, on the opposite side. She was only trying to get to him :wub: [/QUOTE]
