Re: the birds Reply #2 - 06/24/16 at 07:40:48 I was riding shotgun with the brother-in-law, we were pulling a trailer house. The mirrors are mounted Waaay outchyonda. The framework hit a bird, slinging gakk in on me.. My Question Is Just how fast were you cooking through that turn? Birds are weak, they have to be so light, so, they are soft and delicate.

Oh, I know Stew, coulda as well been geese with goslings or turkeys with little ones. There are so many of them crossing the roads in these parts right now.

Dave, I think a guy could get his daily ration of protein riding around with his mouth open consuming knat clouds. I hate it when one gets in your eye.

JOG, I've actually been watching since I put the new rear shoes on ol' Sliver and on intersections I know good I'm coming out of a turn off between 25-30 if there is no stop. It doesn't take long to hit 50 after that.

Ummm, backstory anyone? Huh

Ok, so it was evening and I was turning West from one county black top road to another. I was having to adjust to the sun being in my eyes but before my eyes were completely adjusted I ran headlong into a small bunch of tweetie birds.
One must have bounced around between my leg and the jug for a few seconds and beat the heck out of my leg.
By the looks of the mess between the rear of the cylinder and the battery box there must have been a couple bouncing around there too. Those must have exited on the right side as there was blood and guts on the left side cover.

Those are the basic facts of the story. Id sure like to know what happened to the original post. Oh well!

They say F4's are proof that if you can put wings and an engine on a brick and make it fly.
Crow's are the bricks of the natural world. Huh

ever watch a crow fly? I get tired just thinking about it.
ravens however... thing of beauty.
