Just out for a jaunt on a sunny day (yesterday). Familiar back road, done it many times. Not usually highway patrolled. On the way back, a bike flashes lights at me. Hmmm, I thought, Leo?? or just being friendly? Next a pickup truck, same thing. Unusual. Now I'm slowing down and looking for the cruiser on the road side. What do I see in the ditch but a big a** bull moose! Just off the side of the road. He looks at us (riding 2 up) and goes back to munching leaves. It was enour-moose! Good thing he stayed where he was grazing. Gave us a bit of a shock, expecting bears and saw a moose! Ya never know what is around the corner. Thanks for the heads up to the other drivers!

I always pay attention to ones that flash their lights at me even if don't see the reason why up the road better safe than sorry .. Nice of them to warn you, I try to warn others as well but some drivers are just plain oblivious to their surroundings ..

Last year me and my wife were riding the snake (421) and a bear walked out in the road in front of us (about 150 yards ahead). It stopped looked and walked off into the woods. Luckily we were at a safe cruising speed and had no trouble getting slowed up.

I almost hit a deer yesterday on my way to school. Talk about a pucker factor. I was a second or two faster than him and he crossed behind me. Sad thing is the deer wasnt so lucky this morning. Saw him on the side of the road this morning, same area that I met up with him yesterday morning. Too bad he was a healthy looking deer. Would have made a good amount of meat for some hunter in the fall.

Moose are not normally aggressive; however, they can be very aggressive in winter when they are hungry; tired of walking in deep snow; or harassed by people, dogs, and traffic.

I live in the Northern part of the lower peninsula of Michigan and we have elk. I almost clobbered one of these big buggers one time. They are not as big as moose, but I might I have been able to ride underneath their belly. A big bull might go 800+ lbs. They just sit there and look at you until you stop. We ride really slowly in the wooded areas and during early evening hours. I have a couple of riding buds that have clobbered deer.
