Default Watch out for that fox..

Yesterday was great here in our part of Tennessee about 70 degrees so I was able to run some errands on the bike at about 200 miles.Was about 2 miles from the house and noticed and ambulance,and then a crotch rocket on its side down in the ditch.I stopped as we live in a very small town "no street lights" and the volunteer ambulance guy that I know told me that the guy that wrecked had to lay his bike down to avoid hitting a fox..They guy suffered a broken arm and some bruises..Then they told me his leg fell off..I,m like what ...They said he had a prosthesis and found it in the road..Well always sorry to hear about any one going down,but glad to hear that the guy was still out there enjoying what he wanted to do,,

I wouldn't put my bike down for a fox.....it shouldn't even bother a crotch rocket. They are a very small animal, mostly hair.

That's what I was thinking. Maybe the prosthetic leg had something to do with it?

Momma reads Rider Magizine and a female forum of them, their recomendation is, if it fits in a frying pan, run over it! If it is bigger avoid it!

Sounds like good advice to me, have ran over a peacock and a deer, peacock was a hell of a hit, should have avoided the deer!

Shoulda taken off the leg and thrown it at the fox.

Bacnus, deer do not fit in a frying pan! At least not all at once.

I KNOW THAT! Ever see a RoadKing do a nose wheelie? Hope to never do that again!

That's called a "stoppie", and no, I've never seen a Road King do one. Got any video of that???
