BLOODY SKIPPY!!!

Post by z900/zx9 »

Well all was going well st andrews, kinglake, myers creek road, spur, marysville, 2 more laps of the spur, myers creek road, then i thought ahh screw it, so down chum creek road i go and then back up. Then coming around 45k corner SKIPPY SKIPPY :shock: STAYED OFF THE FRONT BRAKE AND WENT FOR THE REAR AND TRIED TO DODGE HIM Fucker he jumped back into my line and i run out of road headin for a tree so i laid it down. Checked damage after pushing it up the embankment and gettin the front wheel out of some wombat hole :evil: Indicator broken, bent crash knob and surface scratching, 2 small cracks on lower fairing. Got home ripped off fairing, fixed indicator (super glue and gaffa tape), cut and polished paint and all's good :) Its been 26 years since i dropped a bike and i forgot the sensation so i hope its another 26 years before i do it again. Me im fine sore knee and a bit sore in the back lucky i decided to wear my leathers today. :D

...they're coming down out of the scrub at the moment as there's fark-all water around. We have them around here at the moment as well, going for the little that's left in farmers' dams. The buggers are out during the day as well, which a sign they're pretty thirsty.

Good to see you got off reasonably lightly 8).

even up here, we have had 2 roos in the street inside the last 6 months, and we are probably 5km at *least* from the nearest open scrublands :shock: :shock:

zx9 - glad to hear you came through OK, without too much damage. Lucky you found him on a corner .... :shock:

I been here in Aus 3 years in Feb and have only ever seen the buggers in a zoo or roadkill :lol:

Apparently one jumped in front of me coming down Arthurs seat but I was watching the vanishing point and missed it :roll:

That would be one of the best advise I heard :D. Only had one encounter at arthur seat and if it was that scary/panic-inducing at 60kph I hope I don't have to see one at 100kph :x

Man, you need to get a Polaris rifle case mounted to your bike.

Every hunter knows you never see any roos if you have a rifle on the dashboard of the car :lol: :lol:

I live in sydney suburbia and see a mob of roos every afternoon near a local creek. Been lots of car vs kangaroo incidents on local roads.

Remember, never hit an animal you cant completely eat at one sitting. :P
