Well, last night I went out riding and saw a PEACOCK standing in the road. Now this is very unusuall for back country roads in Wisconsin! What are some of the strangest things you guys have seen in the road?

About 2 weeks ago, I barely missed a dead water buffalo on the superstrada. It was in a curve of all places. :shock:
