Just got in after having a mior accident on my moped,
came out of a junction just touching 35 then a cat ran out in front of me, i slammed both brakes on which caused me to slide and the bike to come frome underneath me,
next thing i know is i am laying in the middle of the road with ripped jeans and gloves and a bleeding leg.
the bike now needs, new right hand side front and back fairing,new riight hand side front brake lever and a nre throttle grip....
from this evenings incident i have learnt just to grit your teeth and head for the fucker that wanders out in front of you
ahhh well, at least i can smile about it now

Difficult when the roads are greasy... I hit a rabbit once on my bike because if I braked the same would have happened to me - this was after coming off a few times from braking too hard on damp roads. Live and learn I guess

yes because dogs are registered and if you hit one you need to inform the owner/police
