I think I have achieved the complete set of wandering livestock now.

The one on the side of the Hill road was waaaay bigger than this motley specimen though. Mine was at least the size of a double garage and with horns that would have graced the fornt end of any forklift... and although it was contentedly grazing on the shoulder of the road you could tell it had a barely hidden mean streak just waiting to explode.

Nice one!

I spotted a hog on the same road the other day!

It even tried to follow me but I had to try really hard to keep him in shot!

Nahhh, those Highland cows are really docile, well some are. My sister has a couple and the follow you around like dogs. Puts the shits up you the first time but they seem to like company and a good scratch behind the ears. They make very good eating too, unfortunately her two are more pets that stock although I am sure if they get in to the garden again that position might change

Did they have body armour, twin rocket launchers and flames from their noses? Hokey pokey! :drinkup:

It's a real head scratcher isn't it... WTF does he think will happen if he meets his mirror image coming the other way?

Still... it's only "close" if you don't have time to raise your middle finger :facepalm:

There were some mighty large flattened heeland coow droppings in the middle of the road tonight so the wee beastie probably tried to execute a three point turn at some stage... I'm grateful I missed that spectacle.

I *555'd him too. Then worried that if they didn't find him they be knocking on my door to check for hallucinogens.

Ahhhh Animals...

Come across a few in the middle of the road...

Paekakariki Hill = Kneed a peacock in the head as I came round a corner.
Fucker almost blinded me with its bright tail and all.

Rimutaka Hill = A fucken Boar!!! I kid you not. Big bastard he was. No armor, rocket launchers or motorcycle. Scared the living bejeezus out of me. Hit the picks, swerved and carried on.

Don't know what strange animal I'll get next, maybe a freakin Unicorn!!!

I collected a seagull on a ride across to Kawhia once. Saw the birds on the road ahead and as I got closer they all took off, except "Dopey". When he finally launched himself into the air he went straight into the front of my forks, f***ing feathers everywhere. Didn't realise just how big a black back gull is, he was big enough for me to feel a really solid thud as he hit the bike. Really ruined his day though.

There's absolute shitloads of piggies in those hills. I'm not in the least bit surprised you came across one, but I am that there haven't been any road accidents involving them that I've heard of!

Urrr... That was when I was trying to ride slow! I edited out the sections where I showed him the boss card.

Was one of those mid size black birds with the yellow beak that got me, on the Haywards. Your dead right about the feathers...every-fuckin-where!
