I was in California a few summers ago and was told of someone hitting a wild hog on highway 1 just south of Carmel. I did see pig crossing signs along Hwy 1.

We hunt wild hogs with handguns......one of the easiest as well as the hardest animals to kill. Never used a bike to hunt with, tho.........
Several years ago, hit an armadillo on my old Vulcan 1500....that is an experience as they tend to jump straight up when startled sometimes, and they are a lot quicker than they look. Little sucker ran out in front of me before I knew it, and clipped him w/ my front at about 70 mph. Next couple of seconds were pretty wild, and did luck out and keep it upright.

Hey, 06Fatboy, good research there. I ride an FLH myself but never thought about it. I got FLH and 6 digits on my serial #. I like that cause it's usually 4. Talking panhead. Anyhoos, had a friend t-bone a moose up northern Alberta way, cut the sucker in half,he didn't make it but neither did the moose. Ya never know when you come around that corner. cole
