It may be trucks doing the damage but in some places the road will have been weakened by the liberal application of 'cow-poo'

Another very good reason to not spoil the road by applying tar seal.

Argh, I suppose you think that putting metal down on the dirt was too "progressive", you old fart!

More of the shit through the summit on 16 again. Next time we see a stock truck stopped, someone hold the driver down and I'll shit on HIM!

This is a seasonal thing. By law all dairy farms that are sold change hands on the same day. (It's either the beginning or the end of June). So June is stock truck time.

A guy I know wrote off a K110RS due to this, he went to pass a stock truck at the start of a passing lane on a steepish hill, at the bottom of the hill the truck did a rough gear change and a large wave of shite came surfing out the back of the truck. The bike hit it and went down, the beemer skidded across the road under a Mack truck going in the other direction. He was luckier but his jacket and boots filled up with the shite and he had to ride on the back of the rescue vehicle as nobody was game to share an enclosed space with him.

On the road between Featherston and Lake Ferry, going the western side of the lake, there is a curved bridge (has flood control gates under it). Anyway, one day out riding, came across this bridge absolutely covered in cow shit. The guy in front of me slid across the road, I squeezed between him and the offside guard rail but the pannier of my bike hit his ankle and broke it (the ankle). That cost me $150 for not being able to stop in time. Cop wasn't the least bit interested in the shit on the road, said I should have anticipated it.

Amusingly, not long after this, a cop (near Huntly, Ngaruwahia? ) lost control of his car due to some substance on the road, hit something and killed someone. Was found not guilty - the beak said he could not have expected to find this stuff on the road. Yeah right.

But you can get mats that can be rolled up after they cross and most of the mud and shit is removed.

I am farmer too....can't stand shit on the road...I'll happily tell other farmers what I think at discussion groups and feildays...

Stock should be banned from the road....all mine are trucked....trucks are supposed to beable to hold all effluent in towns and resticted speed zones and a lot of local councils require in there territory the holding of effluent...

my two cents. I work as a beekeeper so travel round a lot of farms, yards, back roads and such in the king country. One thing i was told was that cow shit actually degrades the road due to the acidic content. the other is once coming back from a yard in the middle of Mangokewa, a light truck came past right at the spot where a cow cocky had moved stock up the road. I had the window open, you can guess the rest.

Stuff it – just give the animals butt plugs

– solves the problem completely (Oh and the greenhouse gases), Just “de” butt plug them once in a while and harvest the lethal brew

for power.

I'm sure that with our collective engineering genius we could make mini-bike that robotically sniff out and race after dripping fresh effluent and detonate when they get dripped on from the top....

Oh yeah.. and Kaow pat (pronounced cow pat) is thai for fried rice. Just a useless bit of random information.
