Went riding and saw a horse.
If you can't fix it with a hammer it's an electrical problem.

Nice pic 😊

The bike seems to have it's 'ears' up in the same way as the horse. "Hey, who are you?".

Wildlife can be interesting and problematic to a motorcyclist .
Here in the western US, ‘open range’ is quite common .
Open range, doesn’t have fences to keep livestock off of the roadway .
There is one road about 30 miles from me, has the name ‘dead cow road’ .
No explanation needed !!!
'81 R65
'82 R65 LS
'84 R65 LS
'87 Moto Guzzi V65 Lario
'02 R1150R
Riding all year long since 1993 .
I'll give up my R65, when they pry my cold dead hands from the handlebars !!!!!

Another hazard is deer jumping across the road in mountainous areas. I can only imagine what the aftermath would be if a rider hit a deer in the road.  :thud: Raccoons and possums often cross the road and hitting one could cause a rider to go down. Then in the city stray dogs get in the street also. I witnessed a rider hitting a cat once but fortunately he stayed upright. There is not much a person can do if an animal places itself directly in the lane of travel.
