Close call with wild animal

[Tiger01]

We all dread the idea of a deer coming out of nowhere while we are riding. Well it wasn't a deer, but this weekend I was riding with a friend when I had a close call.. We were in Harper's Ferry National Park riding along at about 45 mph, maybe 50. I suddenly sense something to my left side and I see a large fox taking it's last running step toward the side of my bike before it's face makes contact. I had no time to react. Fortunately, the fox had the reflexes of a fox. As quickly as it darted toward me, it darted back after it's nose contacted my bike. I didn't even feel a thing. Damned lucky, huh?

Sounds like it. I've had a couple dogs dart out towards me. It'll make you pucker, that's for sure..... Glad you cam out unharmed.

I hit a cat once . It sucked . I love cats . I felt bad for hours afterwards. I thought about how lucky I was not to dump the bike . Glad to see you made it . I also hit a moose with a snowmoble once . The moose did not budge . I was lucky to not get trampled by an angery moose or have the moose fall an me !

I almost hit a bear a few weeks back.. Then last week some older guy (in his 70's) did hit a bear on interstate 84 in NY. He walked away with only scrapes. The bear is no more...

[SmokeShowin]

Glad to hear you didn't get hurt.

[Tiger01]

Damn. My little fox story is starting to pale in comparison with your encounters with moose and bear. Around here, the biggest thing we have to worry about is the average middle aged female on a cell phone. Oh, I would have been thrashed for saying that over at the other forum. I'll bet I get away with it here, even though it is a grossly insensitive thing to say. I should be ashamed of myself sometimes.

Here at shadowriders we don't take kindly to people speaking of middle aged women talking on a cell phone, the proper way to put it is that some ol' bag stepped out in front of you while yappin her gums on a cell phone with her head up her ass! come on, repeat after me, 'with her head up her ass'... very good...:wink_2:

[Tiger01]

repeat after me, 'with her head up her ass'

OK. Let me try. The fat cow had one hand on her jumbo water bottle and the other on her cell phone with her head up her ass as she wandered back and forth in my lane.

How's that? I think I'm learning. Thanks for the lesson.

Fuck that fuckin' fucker of an old bag

[Shadow]

Not to return to subject, but I hit a deer on my bike last August. I was doing about 40 mph, and he jumped out of a cemetery right in front of me and STOPPED. It pretty much sucked shit out of my ass. All things condsidered, I'm about the luckiest sum-bitch alive. No broken bones, didn't hit my head (although I WAS wearing a helmet - state law). I just slide 40 feet (and rolled a couple times) and stood up. The paramedics that showed up with a bucket and a squeegie were pretty much amazed.

As for the bike, got that nasty ass dent in the tank, ground off a hand grip, footpeg, turn signals, and had to scrape burnt deer bacon off the pipes. Smelled real nice. It took a little work and a few bucks, but it's now better than new.

Come that fall when everyone was going hunting, my standard answer was "Pussies use guns... I got mine with a Honda."

Glad to still be here,

Damn!!! You are one lucky son of a bitch! Was it a buck? Did you mount the head in your garage over your bike!!!

[NoizeBoy]

No, it was a fawn - about the size of a Great Dane or so. The cops were able to ride the bike back to the station until I was good enough to get it (he kept smiling and telling me how good it sounded - it was pretty funny). I went the other direction in an ambulance, so I had no way of keeping the deer, although they did ask if I wanted it.

I'm still kicking myself - it would be pretty goddamn funny to have a little fawn head mounted in my office...

I did get to keep part of her though - I pulled my shift rod cover off the other day and there was deer hair packed up under it.

Little fucker...

[gat803]

I feel your pain Noiz, but the best part of that story is that the little furry shit jumped out of a grave yard.

[NoizeBoy]

Tell me about it! If that was meant to be foreshadowing, the reaper must have been on vacation that day...

I'll just keep counting my lucky stars...
