Riding behind a car, car straddles a widely squashed skunk roadkill,
I roll right over it.
I was lucky; stink didnt stick to my tires.
Another reason not to tailgate cars.

 

like you need another reason not to. lucky it was just a skunk. what if it were a 4 x4?

 

OP, you're also lucky the car in front of you wasn't the one that ran over the skunk. You'd likely have the stink all over you and your bike.....

 

I never ride closely, right behind a car. If I can't have a good following distance, I ride off to the side, so I can see a clear line of sight.
​​​If the car is blocking your line of sight, you can't see potholes or other debris. Hope you have a lot of tomato juice.

 

 

And I thought this was about Road Glides!

Right you are.
Later that day I passed a sign for the Roadkill Cafe & Cabins in Artemas, PA. I dont know if they will cook "carry-in" but since I hadn't scooped it up I didn't stop to ask.

 

This reminds me of the song..."dead skunk in the middle of the road".

 

lmao!
