        You are a vegetarian living in Calcutta!!! Now that is another rare species, haven't met too many of those. Does not matter, I will have your plate of goat!
        The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

            Oooooot

            A Suggestion to ^^^:

            Lets follow the Blade so that the goats come running towards it, then catch 'em and make 'em end in our plates (except the one belonging to the person riding the Blade )!!!


            BTW: Not only 4-legged ones, but many 2-legged animals also 'Overreact' to SBKs. Pun not intended....

                Seriously bro!!!
                After this accident I have ridden nearly 1.7k km in my bike and I have encountered few near misses. Almost all of them happened when I was not leading the groups. I have stared to study animal psychology now. I have seen that these animals wait for the front bike to pass. But they do not realize that other bikes are also coming or may be they can't judge the speed of the incoming vehicle. That's when they try to cross the village path/road at a lightening speed.
                I seriosly think these animals can't see the colour red/my bike's color. During the last ride to Mayapur, Prasenjit (Psyco28) was trailing me and he knows how animals were jumping in front of only my bike.
                You know how much I love offroading. But these animals have made me scared of village roads after that accident and with couple of near misses after that.

                Damn!!!!! your last couple of lines made feel like having those awesome Langchas right now at 1:38 in the morning.
