....... wildlife ..... the great unknown when riding in the Great Wide Open
.... buddy of mine was leading a group several weeks ago when he crested a hill at speed and found a small herd of Antelope crossing the road. As the next rider in line (his wife) commented later 'he mowed those antelope down like bowling pins' ....... 3 weeks later, he's still in a hospital in Grand Junction, having just recently been brought out of the medically induced coma they'd used to keep brain swelling down.
.... be vigilant out there, ya never know exactly what's on the other side of that next hill

.... prayers sent for the OPs friends .... and mine.

Until I read the article on the accident, I thought they hit an animal. I don't know what a bobtail is, other than a truck. the poster also thought it might have been an animal. was only trying to inform him


Just googled it, now I know. I call them box trucks

I was imagining a Bob Cat. I was wondering why the article didn't mention that he hit a Bob Cat.

Thank you Harley Charley!!!! couldn't have said any better. Prayers and condolences are forthcoming. So sad to have a rider down and lost, and another injured.
