You were lucky Craig and so was the mate in the Citron. Good lesson.
| In 2005 myself and a mate rode up to the Arctic Circle for the midnight sun-all through Norway there were signs warning about Moose-never saw one but as we were going through a national park the traffic-well 2 cars to be honest-stopped and about 1000 (I kid you not) reindeer ran across the road. We also saw other smaller groups of reindeer but no moose-until we got to Stockholme on the way home and went to Festival Island. They have a zoo there with some moose-hells teeth but they are big buggers-and very tall. I reckon if you hit one on a bike the bike would go underneath the moose and it's body would wipe you out-scary thing to hit............ John |
