My worst fear: hitting a deer on the bike

Hit a fox doing "motorway speeds" on the M25, happy to report no damage...

 

Found any grey pubes yet???

 

I knew someone that hit a pig on a bike, totally fucked him up for a while......so dont run down a copper.....

(Not really, a real pig, a snorter, pink and smelly, could be a copper i spose, one of those that call you sonny.....)

 

Hit a wood pidgeon some years back, all safe though,
totally buggered the pidgeon though, what was left of it all over my exhaust and engine,
thought the sod had escaped and got away.....no such luck,
ever tried to removed cooked on guts and claret??? bloody difficult!

 

Nothing like hitting a big red kangaroo back home!! Hubby swerved one to miss on his old bike. Don't know what was worse swerving so bad and dropping it to miss it or copping kangaroo feet in your head?! Me, I've just hit 'em in the cars. And bloody black cows - now they do damage in the pitch black and can't see them!!

 

Have you tried turning on your lights?

 

Doh is that what I was missing T?! LOL

 

Biggest fear and a real poo the pants job would be for me, a real big pile of horse shit on a really really rapid bend.......Not good......

 

Old army mate once told me he'd just been posted to India. He was riding in front of another bike when he saw a pile of elephant dung & thought it'd be fun to ride over it & spray on his mate's face. Being new there didn't think it might have been baking in the sun & said it was like riding into a concrete bollard at 40 . Came around days later in hospital.

 

Well don't ride behind really big horses. Simples!

 

Speed limit or alcohol?

 

LOL... speed. Let's just say it was an enthusiastic ride. I notched up 500 miles from Glenborradale which is 50 east of Fort William in the west of Scotland , to Castle Urquart in the Great Glen, to Dingwall on the east coast, then Bonar Bridge, to the Kyle of Tongue on the north coast, to Durness where I had a break for 30 mins.

From there I headed back to the east coast at Ullapool, inland (cos there's no other way!) and then back out towards Strathcarron, back to Invergarry on the Great Glen again, then the reverse route via Fort William to Glenborradale.

Took 12 hours, on a warm and beautifully sunny (after the first hour!) day... I've got a pic from Durness somewhere... people sunbathing on the beach there, looks more like the W Indies or Australia than the far north of Scotland. I'll dig it out and post it.

 

Blimey, if the fox was going that fast I'm surprised you hit him.

 

With you there, although had a ride through the Ashdown forest this morning and a deer did do a kamikaze to the car in front of me.

It's nice when the council tries to cheering up your day by pointing out on a big sign that 238 deers have died into 2010 as a result of being hit by a vehicle.

 

Main risk is at dusk... we should have been okay yesterday. Just be aware for the rest of the month.

 

Inconsiderate buggers!
