Well, deep subject coming here!
After riding Sandy Point Road yesterday, and even after the time change the sun was still up. So, being Cow Creek Road was near us, off to ride Cow Creek Road we did go ride. Now this ride is the perfect example of what in and out of the shadows can do to the brain. Yes, the brain has to interpret the signals being sent to it by the eyes in just a split second for us motorcycle riders to get the muscles to react properly.
Remember all of this happened in a split second. Watch the video first and see if you can see what unusual happened!

My brain had to make a split second decision. All of a sudden laying right in front of me in the middle of the roadway was a large size dead Doberman doggy. Now my brain has to sort out my decision options as to what to do, and react in less than a second.
Option 1: Change Nana Chou’s current course violently to avoid the caucus of the large sized dead Doberman doggy.
Option 2: Hold Nana Chou's current course and hit the large sized dead Doberman doggy straight on.
Now the Doberman doggy is already dead, and when your dead your dead. So, being as I could not make the poor dead doggy double dead, I quickly decided on Option 2. Nana Chou hit the dead doggy caucus, and - bump - both tires went quickly over the caucus.
But, had the doggy been alive would I have chosen Option 1 in that split second. Would that resolute had been as favorable? Would it have been two live mammals, or two dead caucuses?
