All the spider discussion brought back memories....in 1981, I got a
wild hair up my #%@# and took off from Pennsylvania for Florida on my 1973
TX 650 Yamaha. While living there, I rented a trailer and one day, while
taking a shower, I looked out my tiny trailer sized 6" x 12" window, right
about eye level, in the shower stall. Lo and behold, there was a huge
spider looking back at me! Talk about freakie...try it while totally
helpless, soaped up, wet, and naked! At that point, I figured, "what the
heck, I made it this far"...so I finished the shower, found something bigger
than he was, (if I remember correctly, I think I used a sofa or a
refrigerator) and crushed him.

A couple of months later, I bought a 1967 TR6R 650 Triumph Tiger (still
have that one). Once, while heading down Route 301, about 75 mph, a bug the
size of a golf ball flew into my left cheek. Felt like getting punched in
the face. Needless to say, I moved back to Pennsylvania.

Lord bless the Keystone State!!!!
