Sorted the insurance for another year.
Found out my shed is classified as secure and it has an alarm so that made the insurance company happy. They dropped the renewal by £100 to just over £200 fully comp, so decided to check a multi bike policy to include the KTM. Nearly fell off my chair when it was only £30 more for both fully comp. Happy days.

I took the angry hornet out for a spin. The usual route of Quatt and the Old Ludlow road. I've not ridden the MV for a while so I wanted familiar roads while we got reacquainted.
Blind overtaking by cars seemed to be very popular today.

A nice run out with Cookie around Craven Arms.
Saw a very lucky biker take a head shot from a pheasant. He managed to stay on. We pulled over to check he was ok. Shaken with a sore neck was the extent of his injuries.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
I remember reading a couple of years back about a rider who was killed by a pheasant. Went out for a summer ride, and never came home. When they found the bike crash scene, apparently there was the remains of a pheasant embedded into his visor.!
I've never hit one myself, thank goodness. However living where I do I have had to duck a few times for flying creatures, have hit a rabbit/hare mid corner (nearly took me out, they make one hell of an impact for such a small animal ) but my primary nemesis is all the deer.
The close calls I have had from deer are too many to recall, I'm fairly convinced one will catch me eventually.
