Title: road kill decals - new to the group & bike Post by rebslb13 on 02/04/05 at 22:01:29 Hello, I'm new to the group and just rolled over 1,000 miles on my savage. I saw a prior thread suggesting decals for road kills. Great idea! Does it count if it was on a prior bike (I nailed a dog in 1970 on a Honda 350 on a gravel road about 2:00 in the morning)? Also, I guess the critters should get their decals too. My brother has had 2 Goldwings totalled, one by a deer and one (brand new) by an elk. Guess the critters got their revenge! Great group, I'm looking forward to many fun and informative threads. I'm in mid Missourii with an '04 with windshield and (hopefully soon) fiberglass saddlebags. I plan on doing some touring since I'm now retired. |

Title: Re: road kill decals - new to the group & bike Post by rebslb13 on 02/08/05 at 22:02:55 Susan, they are old ones I bought used in about 1982. I checked on the net and the company is now out of business. They were made by Land Tool Co. in Wichita, KS. I think they are fiberglass but they may be one of the plastics. I first used them on a Kawasaki 550 LTD till I sold it. |

I think the Savage would be good fun at that type of meeting. Any one know the E.T. and terminal for a Savage. Clive W :D |
