Nice 80 mile ride to the range and back today, nice Jan weather for Florida.(But no twisties just straight flat roads with a lot of drivers trying to kill you!) Got me thinking, about the stuff that is just laying there on the road trying to kill us. What is the most memorable debris you have hit, you know the stuff that is just there coming out from under the car or truck in front of you with little or no warning? I can recall a chunk of 4x4 I hit on my old Yamaha, rode the front wheel after that for a-ways. One night in the rain I hit a dead deer on my Pacific Coast,it was just THERE from under that car. I see chunks of truck tire carcass all over, down here we call them alligators, cause if you drive over them with a car they can jump-up and bite it. I saw a real alligator laying across the other lane once, after I got by it I looked up and saw a 18 wheeler barreling towards it. I waved franticly at him and pointed, then I heard his air brakes come on, I think I made a buddy that day. Don't know what happened to the gator thou. This site has followers around the world, lets hear what strange stuff you all have hit, or just missed. Kangaroos? Lions? Just plain old t-boning cars or trucks don't count, we have all done that, or close to it.
