The morning that I first read this account, my boys and I were preparing for a long ride to some of our favorite roads.
As we were riding, this account kept going thru my head and sure enough about an hour into the ride, as I rounded a corner, I spotted road kill in the center of the road and sure enough a Turkey Vulcer next to it.
The stupid thing took its time about launch and by the time that I got to it, he was just high enough to clear the top of my helmet.
My boys who were following later thought for sure that he had hit me ....sure has made me more aware of watching out for them.
