I Brake For...

.... Ducks.

There I am, bimbling along towards a queue-ette at a roundabout. Burd in
pole position finally decides that there's nothing moving within a four
mile radius and goes. Bloke behind her goes. Bloke behind him goes. Next
bloke goes... and stops.

Well, more STOPS really. Slammed on, he did. I was *nearly* caught out,
but rather than try to pull up behind him I went for the escape route to
the right and went past him.

Then I see that he has screeched to an emergency stop because there's a
fucking *duck* in the road. Rather than risk disturbing its feathers,
he'll happily get rear ended.

I don't think they should let Buddhists have licences...

 

Heh, what with Oldbloke having a moment and braking for a pheasant on
the FOT at the weekend, it's all a bit fowl friendly round these parts.

 

Who would pick up the bill ?

Not me mate, I'd have nailed the feathery little fucker. I like duck.
With Hoi-Sin sauce for preference.

It's the tree-hugger in the Mondeo you want to have a word with.

I'm game.

 

Well hung?

Nope, it's true.

It's great fun driving through Finningley. I used to work in Harworth
and used that route alot to get to the M180.

I was driving an artic around the Aztec business park in Brissel the
other day and saw a sign that said BEWARE OF WILDFOWL.
"Yeah right" I thought, just then 2 swans flew across the road in line
astern at about 10ft altitude 20ft in front of me.
Could have been interesting, I had a 14ft high trailer behind me.

 

The message <c4upi0$2mvrvj$-berlin.de>

*BANG!*

 

Ye gods that was fucking close wasn't it, fair made my sphincter tighten I
can tell you.

If I had hit it, do you think I would have binned the bike?

Also, did you see the two small birds early on who dive bombed my lid and
just missed.

Bloody countryside alliance.

Quite possibly, especially if it had got caught and dragged under the rear
wheel.

There would have been a very amusing cloud of comedy feathers for whoever it
was
behind to ride through though!

One of our riders hit a rabbit at Darley Moor a couple of years ago and
didn't bin it (a lot of luck involved).
The bloke following him said he thought his head had exploded.

 

not another plucking word 'game' thread?

I had a cat commit suicide under my bike a while back and all there was
a bumpity bump as bits of it went their separate ways. It was more than
a little underwhelming as it goes.
