    Took the bobber out for a run on Saturday afternoon, did the loop out through Loganlea to Canungra and back through Beaudesert and Jimboomba.  Punting along at a sedate $1.20 and see a line of cars coming towards me so backed off a bit, just in case.  Saw a bit of movement on the left hand side of the road just as the lead car flashed his lights so my eyes were drawn back to the car.  At the same time, caught another movement on the left side and then shiiiiiittttt.  Big gray bounced out across the road with his missus just behind him.  Lady luck put me through the gap with inches to spare.  Didn't hit either of them so just rolled her on again.  When its getting late, I tend to centreline keeping an eye out for them but this was only 3.00pm and did not expect them to be out so early.   Couple of klicks down the road, saw why the car flashed me, photographer sitting behind some bush, he didn't get me either.  All in all, was a nice ride and the scotch tasted great.

    Yeah Evo, them fuckers are my biggest fear on the road......a mate was telling me his other mates, 3 sports bikes, was hammering along at 140 and this friggen big roo hopped out onto the road and went between the first and second bike, then changed direction and went back between the second and third bike, scarey stuff.
