Riding today, leaning into a curve at about 60mph, a friggin huge groundhog ran out and I hit him square with my front tire and then with the rear tire. Got quite squirly for a second there thought I was going down but managed to keep her upright. I had to come home and change my boxers though

That's what he gets for seeing his Fk'ing shadow.....lil bastard....good to see you made it home.
 
Goin through a 60 mph sweeper and hitin an animal is usually read about tragically in the news, nice job on not getting killed, your guardian angel was with you today :2thumbs: :2thumbs:

now to what Woodbutcher said do you really eat them ??? I live in Wash. State we don't have Groundhogs here, never even seen one in real life

I should go back and get a pic of him. I am sure he is rt there in the middle of the roadway. Oh and no we don't eat them. At least I don't anyway.

Excellent Driving!!! That's one of my biggest fears is to have an animal jump out in front of me....

I know you thanked the good man above for that one. I've hit 3 dogs and crashed on 2. Excellent riding. :cheers:

Sounds scary. I came about 1/2" from hitting a Coyote once. My wife was riding on the p-pad and nearly shit herself.... Not to mention the kidney punch I got from her once she settled down. Heck, I didn't do anything to deserve it!

I shot 9 of the pesky varmits in my front yard last year, didn't see any this year yet and no we don't eat them.
