Almost ran over someones pet

[Finn]

While clocking up around 700 k's today, I almost ran into this on a blind corner. 2 skid marks if you catch my drift. It took off down the road so I followed it and at the right moment overtook it to warn oncoming traffic. This went on for a while until the horse tired so I stopped and was about to attemp to catch it when the horse float came by. You can see my mates being really helpful about 500 metres back.

[kickingzebra]

Shit!! I nearly hit a dog once, and rabbits a plenty, but a farkin horse? thats some Baaad juju... hope you weren't commando in the leathers....They don't wash that well:doobey:

[kro]

Mate, that would have been a bit messy. Good work rallying the troops, and securing the scene.

[Sniper]

You almost hit a horse on a fucken strait road........... (pt)

mate I was dam close to smacking in to a big Red Stag the other weekend. The bugger was standing in the middle of the road roaring his head off at some female red deer - or something like that. Bloody frightening

[Madness]

I think Finn should edit the title of this thread to: Almost run over by someone's pet.

A mate of mine is was a tow-truck driver for a while. His first ever tow job was a horse. No it wasn't impounded for 28 days.

Where'dya go on your 700km ride?

[Scorpygirl]

Blimey Finn - you did pick the big uns to run over!!!! :gob: Did you buy yourself a lotto ticket after that. I would sack the backup patrol - no bloody good in defence, eh!! :doobey: (P/T)

[Bonez]

Welcome to the joys of riding on the open road and not a race track............:doobey:

[MidnightMike]

Jesus that crazy, :rockon:

I saw this thing on TV that in america you go to this park, and it has one road that everyone follows through the wilderness, this place has bears etc, and people rent harleys and ride through there getting cut off by buffalo and the likes :doobey: , be a fricken scary being chased down by a buffalo on a slow old harley :nya:

Is that true or not? ( I cant really take you seriously with that face as your avatar. )

[WINJA]

dont lie finn , you have no friends

[Ironman]

You almost found out that 1 Horsepower can sometimes fuck over 100+ Horsepower :nya:

[Finn]

Where'dya go on your 700km ride?

As far south as Turangi. Mostly back roads.

[Finn]

dont lie finn , you have no friends

I've got many friends. They just don't like me very much.

I GOT INVISIBLE FRIENDS AND SOME OF THEM TELL ME TO LIGHT FIRES

The Tokoroa/Turangi Road????
I nearly got taken out by a Hawk up there last year, of the feathered variety. Might fine road but, if not a bit bumpy south of Atiamuri.

[Finn]

I just noticed there's a ghost in my photo. Check the right side of the picture. I'm going to be rich and famous for this one.

[beyond]

Lucky escape there mate. :)

You shoulda given me a heads up on the ride. Ended up riding on my own today cos everyone was busy. Good roads down that way. West side of the lake is pretty good.

Nah! That'll just be a Mangakino local out playin his Banjo. That place should be fenced in to protect the rest of the country.

[Blairos]

Mmmmm... Mangakino... :blip:

[Madness]

Mmmmm... Mangakino... :blip:

I was there at new-years. The locals have started a marketing type campaign. It's now referred to as MANGA-VEGAS!!
Fucking Inbreds.

Honda riders aye, were you wearing the right gear too?

[Finn]

I wore out all the gears.

[Lord Derosso]

Glad you missed that horse though. Nearly hit a full grown sow on a bridge in thick morning fog once. Couldnt stop in time so was just lucky the porker didnt move and I could get around her. Did hit a dog once, when I was 15 and unlicenced but the owner didnt complain. Just glad the dog wouldnt be chasing anymore motorbikes after getting a boot in the head at 80kph. Rather sore than dead. Not sure a size 9 1/2 boot would have any effect on the horse and good on you for protecting other road users. That man, and his mates, deserves a beer. :drinkup:

Thats not a ghost, its a forest person. They sodomise people on Kawasakis

[Lord Derosso]

Its just a old log but theres a bit of green thingie making it look like legs.

[Ixion]

It is not! NOT! It's an Entling. Is so.Jeez, boring pedestrian people, give 'em something exiting like an Entling and all they want to do is find explanations.

[SlowHand]

Bollox, its the Knight Ride. how else do you explain it getting off a moving trailor backwards. bet there were hoove-out marks where it jumped off the truck. He was a good horse, i miss him so.

[Lord Derosso]

Smallest bloody Entling I have ever seen though I suppose they have to start off as a sappling.... Got you 'stumped' ?

[Ixion]

Exactly so. Sapling = baby tree. Entling = baby Ent. You can see that it's walking around.

Incidentally, you say it's the smallest you've seen, how many Ents , or Entlings, *have* you seen ?

[babyface]

shit drunk and you get to talk about it?:ride:
you lucky bastard yip get a lotto ticket and then its your shout:laugh:
i hit a dog once wrecked my exhaust, had to make another one and the bloody dog was fine.

[Lord Derosso]

Arent Entlings from Lord of the Rings ??? This is just a stump which farmers often leave in paddocks as a stock lean to and rubbing stick....

If he was pissed drunk... who took the photo?

[Ixion]

I bet you're one of those people who doesn't even believe in Santa Claus, as well.

[Finn]

If he was pissed drunk... who took the photo?

I did. I duct taped my camera to my helmet and set it to shoot every 30 seconds.

[Krayy]

I reckon if anyones gonna top a horse for a close call, they'll have to be scratching round the zoo when the take the elephants for walkies ::laugh:

[Lord Derosso]

Until he died when I was 10 years old because some unmentionable killed him in a alleyway. Old old story. As for Mr Finn ..... so you had the camera all set up to record the horse jumping attempt and chickened out ????:spudflip:

[The_Dover]

Finn, were your friends on Vespas? That's what it looks like from your picture.

Did you manage to keep up with them on your blade?

[Lord Derosso]

They were trying to catch the horse so they could go faster ???

[Finn]

Finn, were your friends on Vespas? That's what it looks like from your picture.

I could just keep up on the corners but the blade just can't match the straight line speed of a Vespa. My bike got the most looks though and that's all that matters to me.

Presumeably your chicken strips actually grew, trying to chase the overpowered vespas

I'm a very careful rider. That's why I get 30,000 k's outta my Corsa's.

Bugger. Now you know why I greyed it out. I'm not the handsome bloke you thought I was.

It was not a bleeding footwarmer. It was my hungi on the run bro.

Hangi might have worked better if you got it on the exhaust...
Maybe its an accessory for that pink spidi suit, chicks dig fur...
