    T'would certainly cure them of constipation.
    But if they're anything like our Burmese they'd headbutt the truck out of the way.

    Ok.... granted the wire rope has been installed. and they'll never go back and rip it out.... so I think the best idea would be to add protective plastic covering so its not a cheese cutter when we hit it.

    Lovely wifey has seen a couple of trucks through the rope on the Southern between Takanini and Drury so they dont work that well,
    I like the sand trap idea, works for 747's!
    We all have our little obsessions...

    And if you read the specs for safe location for these barriers then you will see there should be 2m on either side...

    I would feel a lot safer with a plastic cover. This would mean that afet a glancing blow I would still be able to carry on and be able to use my foot controlls (as opposed to having to stop and hop back up the road to get my boot (and foot)).
