Mad cow

OMG doo'd that would have had been one nasty wreck if you have plowed into old bessie.... Your poor bike would have been totaled and you would have been carted off in an meat wagon...
One high note... you'd of had enough meat to feed an army...
Hind sight you have to watch it out there... I ride out there too and the cows tend to escape more often lately..

Watch out for asses!
We often ride through areas where cows are roaming free. You really have to watch for them. And the crap is slippery!

Yah cows is *BIG*... had one walking by the side of the road decide it was a good idea to have a better look at the odd blue thing on the road (me). I had to duck to avoid her head. I was only going like 10 mph or so but still... it woulda hurt.

I think hitting a cow at speed would be like hitting a meat wall. That patty would be 99 cows and 1 rider..

Be careful out on highway 1 for cows.

I was driving in the cage on 1 a couple of years ago, came around a fairly tight corner, and was surprised to see a herd of cows on the road. There are signs posted, but I didn't think that they'd actually allow cows on a fairly dangerous stretch of road. Even going the posted speed limit, some of those turns are tight, and being presented with a highly immovable object is not a treat.

I'm just saying.

Better believe it.

I was almost taken out by an 18 wheeler hauling hay 10 years ago. Was taking up the entire road as I entered a left hander. I ran off the road onto the dirt shoulder to avoid hitting the truck.

10 minutes later it happened again with another truck.

This was on a Sunday morning, around 7:30am.

Beware.
