I always been wary of tracktors, last year as we were going trough the forest i was quite happy to have my ultrasound whistle on my bike, a deer was about to cross but heard the whistle , stopped dead in its tracks and turned around.


Of course whistle does not work on tractors and fermers yet so be careful guys

hope you heal well and soon.

take care.

Sorry to hear Tony - hope you mend well. More than can be said about the "Red & Black". Look forward to the photos.

Hope your back in the saddle soon mate , bikes can be bought/mended hope your injuries weren't too bad and yes they are out to get us , most drivers suffer from bike-blindness apparently

Sorry to hear you're down but glad not out. I know the feeling first hand (sporting broken wrist atm). Yep....Theyre out to get us. Mend well & ride again soon. Freedom gets in the blood.
