what did you learn from your ride yesterday?

Deer wouldn't be such a nuisance if they were just a bit smarter. Skunks aren't your friend. Stich is in the washer and I'm looking for someone with no sense of smell to clean the bike.

Jack, Jack. Take a bath in Tomato Juice. It'll kill the smell. I give my dogs a bath in it whenever they try to kiss skunks too. -- dennis k '99,'01-IBR briodk@... Maine, usa

Actually, Coke works better than tomoato juice and won't stain. Keeps you from having a pink dog. Arden Kysely

Deer suck- they haven't yet evolved the ability to judge the distance and speed of anything faster than a wolf. Means they jump right in front of you. Did the skunk spray you, or did it make a mess when you ran it over? Devon Jack Tollett wrote:

I was behind a pickup, using him as a 'snowplow', and he apparently hit it dead center. It came out from under his trunk and I ran over the leftovers. Hell of a speed bump. Guess I am fortunate it was one of those Texas whitetail rats instead of a mule deer.

a car straddled the skunk and it sprayed, I rode through the lingering cloud. Had to ride the next 500 miles with the stench. Got in and tossed the stich in the washer before the War Department could stop me. Seems fine now but the bike smells, especially when it warms up.

Lot o skunks out here where I live, rural N. California. You don't have to run em over to get the stink on you. Most of the ones I see on the road are pre-flattened (someone else already got em) and I don't even let my tires get anywhere near where they lie. If I get close to them on the pavement, the bike stinks when I get home, for days, sometimes. I can usually smell them as I approach their final resting place. When I was a kid they were a daily portion of my varmint-hunting endeavors, and many times my mom bathed me and wiped me down with tomato juice. We would kill them with blowguns or 22s, skin 'em, stretch their hides on wooden racks to dry, and make skunkskin hats out of them. cool, huh.

Jack I heard a story, I think from the Waltz, about someone who hit a buzzard, broke the windshield, and disintegrated on there chest. Had to finish the ride with buzzard guts drying on the chest, ymmm __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE Valentine eCards with Yahoo!
