British Motorcycle Gear

That photo above is greatly enlarged and that’s why the resolution is a bit on the low side…it’s taken from a video Susie captured of our resident bobcat.  You read that correctly…we have a bobcat that hangs around our neighborhood.  We see him (or her) regularly.  Sue caught Bob (or Bobbi) on video a few days ago:

We frequently see interesting wildlife here in So Cal.  Bob is one of our more interesting sightings.


Like you, I’ve seen a variety of wildlife on my motorcycle trips.  There was a herd of an estimated 100 deer early one freezing morning in Montana on the Three Flags ride back in 2005.  I had a close encounter of the scary kind with a gigantic bison on the Western America Adventure Ride about 6 years ago in Yellowstone.  Baja John and I were charged by an errant tarantula in Baja in 2009.  A bear ran across the road in front of us on the RX3s in the San Gabriel Mountains right here in California.  How about you?  Have you had any interesting encounters you’d care to share with us?  Just leave a comment here on the ExhaustNotes blog!
