Cow shit!

[unstuck]

There is literally thousands of diary farmers in this country and all but a small handful that have issues with erosion etc. without them and their industry many of us wouldn't have jobs, but you can sit back in your air conditioned office and drink water and eat lettuce (no milk or cheese) and criticize all you like if you want. Your talking about the largest export industry in the country, but i believe you know nothing about what you speak of.
And you wonder why they dislike city slickers. [/QUOTE]

Goes to show what an ignorant twat you are then. Most of my income comes from dairy farmers and i spend most of my days listening to whinging dairy farmers going on about how bad things are for them. I love taking their money because most of them are complete tossers.

Well its only the internet, but the abusive judgemental tone says more about Unstuck than about any farmers.

As far as ruining someones ride goes, I will give you two examples of just how cowshit on the road can ruin your ride, no crashes had, but horrible ride all the same.

One route to work, no alternatives, well technically not true, but an additonal 40 odd kms of metal roads, when I need to travel 15 on my trip to work is not really an option. Wet roads, the kind of wet that means the vehicle in front throws up water from the rear tyres. Following a stock truck, getting sprayed with a fine stream of diluted cow shit. Cant see, cant breathe, dare not open my visor, drop right back, and follow this disgusting thing, no choices, I have to get to work. Arrive at work liberally coated with cowshit, all my gear is green and it stinks! I have to leave it outside, for I cant bring it in to drip shit on the floor at work.

That ruined that trip in a big way I can assure you, and is only one of the hundreds of times I have come up against a similar thing.

Maybe I'm just a fuckwit but I really can't see how dropping back or even pulling over briefly and getting to work 45 seconds later wouldn't have solved this. Was this situation extraordinary in some way from the other hundreds?

The one that prompted this thread, is even worse in my eyes, though I never are shit. Night time. Commuting home. Once again taking the only realistic route for me. It has been raining, the roads are wet. I smell strong, fresh cowshit! I cant see it, it is dark, but I can smell it. Where is it? Bound to be uphill here? Notorious place for accidents, I slow right down, anticipating running into the green slime anytime soon. Nope, all good. You get the picture, horrible commute home, completely ruined my ride. The shit was actually on the other side of the road, the truck was heading south! I got to avoid his green trail in the morning on my way to work.

This isn't even a story. Nothing happened!!! How can this possibly qualify as ruining your ride?

Cow shitand piss is dangerous, there are laws that should prevent it from being spewed out on the roads.

I agree.

It does ruin rides

I'm not convinced.

I agree, whinging wont fix things, want to put your had up to help me make a real stand against this shit?

TBH, no. I have nothing against you making a stand to improve the quality of roads and I wish you all the best. In the meantime I'll be enjoying riding, on a road covered in cow shit if need be.

Well for someone who does not have a problem with this issue you seem to be having some big issues that keep you coming back to this thread. And you still have not said why you are stopping to talk to young girls in our town??? WTF is up with that??

How does dropping back or even pulling over solve the problem of a film of slippery smelly cow shit on the road?
If you are following the truck then it is still going to be in front of you disgorging its dangerous shit, n'est pas?
Looks like you might have to opt for the fuckwit option...

[scumdog]

Even worse after a week or so of dry weather, it's all flattened by traffic and hardened - and then gets rained on.

Ya can't see it on the wet road and it's as slippery as snot.

Dropping back or pulling over won't cut it then.

Blaster, amongst over things, was noted for bringing some dynamite into court to demostate how safe it was. Apparently the Judge hid under the bench.

[FJRider]

The trucking regulations state the stock trucks must have the effluent tanks ... but do NOT state they should not be allowed to overflow ... or be emptied on a regular basis ...

[barno]

So, you've had one of my Mother In Law's roasts then....

Hahaha good call! Takes four pints of lager before I can even begin on my MIL's cooking.

That there might be but it does not excuse bad practice and shifting a problem from themselves to someone else. I'll happily criticise farmers until the cows come home (pun intended) because I was born and raised on a farm so I know what it is like. I rode my bike all day Friday and all day yesterday. Yesterday's ride was from Wellington to Castle Point, down to Riversdale and back. The roads were semi wet and from Tauwera to the coast and back the road was covered in shit. None of us came off, but it made for a dangerous ride. It's hard enough as it is without having to put up with this nonsense. All it takes is for the farmers to stand their stock for about 3-4 hours before moving them. That is not hard nor is it inconvenient for them to do so. Stock effluent belongs on the farm, not on our roads. It never belongs on our roads.

And smelly cunts are never nice.

Once again you wonder why they dislike city slickers like you. With an attitude like that it's no wonder. I would back a dairy farmer way before i would back you!

Funnilly enough, stock don't stop shitting just because it's been in a yard for 3 hours. They still shit no matter what. Just the way it is. Yes i have been a farmer myself so i do know.
Like i said earlier, it's not always the overflow that comes out of the crates, it's the fresh stuff that comes straight over the side. Once again it's just the way it is.
I've been riding for some 35 years and a lot of that on the back roads and have never ever had an issue with this. Not sure what everyones problem is to be honest.
