wild boar, a dangerous game indeed

boar and bike

That's why I let down motorcycling, to much game in my region.

Wow - if the boar hadn't got him, looks like he would have slid off the road at some point anyway!

How's the driver doing? My french isn't particularly good..

A friend of mine ran over a fox with his 125ccm bike back in our college days. He miraculously did not flip-flop like this fellow, the fox stone dead at impact though..

My dad once told me that back in the 1930's he hit a domestic hog which had somehow strayed onto the road. The animal was so low slung and the center of gravity of his '30's model car was so high that the collision sent the car end over end, with my grandmother in the back seat. Since she lived until I was 21, in 1960, evidently she wasn't hurt too badly, but in those days before seat belts it's hard to imagine surviving such an accident.

Here in Tennessee, the real danger is hitting a deer and having it come through the windshield, sometimes with fatal effect for the driver and/or passanger(s). I was involved in three deer/automobile accidents this year, once as a spectator, once as a passanger, and once as a driver. There were no injuries (except to the deer), but the damage to the car in one of them amounted to $3500. In the case of the one in which I was the driver, I managed to swerve to the point that the deer was hit only a glancing blow, and the damage amounted to removal of the remotely controlled side view mirror.

Since my last post an item appeared in a local newspapaer describing a fatality due to a deer collision. A motorcyclist was driving down a main highway south of my home town when he was struck by a deer crossing the road from right to left. He was thrown from the motorcycle directly into the path of an oncoming SUV. He did not survive the collision, despite the fact that he was wearing a safety helmet as prescribed by law.

This is the first fatality involving a deer that I am aware of in our county, but I am sure it will not be the last, considering the density of the deer population. Our county has been either first or second in the state in deer "harvest" every year since 1998, and the current bag limit is 3 per day during hunting season. The deer population exceeds the human population.

At 56 I still love motobikes and ride my Ducati all year round besides doing a couple of trackdays every now and than and that video really made me wonder...
Anyway we will all meet our destiny one day or another!

I treat several motorcyle guys from the local Harley store-

Over the years their buddies have been killed by hitting cows/horses,large dogs, semi's, and even by large pieces of trash lying in the road.

I have had riders run off the road by trucks pulling trailors and car-motorcycle wrecks where old folks "never saw them"--

My advise--If your not riding in a group of riders be ready for anything!!
