i can now say i slid my way threw a shyte storm!!!! yesterday morning on the way to work i turned onto a road called waterborrow hill. the hole area is pretty much made up of small dairy farms. i dont know if they have liquid shyte in your area, but lets just say that this is one slick substance. if you have no idea what im talking about. farmers have large "ponds" where cow manure is mixed with water to make a runny milk shake. only that aint milk baby. so upon turning onto waterborrow hill in the dusky morning the bike starts sliding like crazy. rear end wants to come around. its almost like riding on snow. threw the the bug coated face shield you can see the faint glossy brown hew on the road. as i slowly make my way into the on coming traffics lane i rocket up the hill past the probably 300 yard shyte slick. the stench is rather potent and the bike has a new undercoating. yuck,, hope my misforturn may brighten some ones day... aaron | ||

I know what your talking about, They spread that stuff on the fields around here to get the grass to grow real nice and green. The smell around the city the past week is pretty ripe. | ||

always big fun to go riding is Wisconsin (Dairy State -- lots of crap on the road, liquid, solid, and everything in between) with city kids -- "What the Crap is THAT shtte?" "Exactly!" "No, really, what IS that crap?" "You bet!" "Cut it out, man, I mean it, what's up with that horsesh1t?" "Cow." "Dammit, my ZX is in the shop . . . I'm talking about . . .. . " and so on -- thanks for the warning, Ao -- that stuff IS a navigational hazard | ||

You should sue the farmer for that, in most states that's an offence. They should clean up any mess like that afterwards. | ||

Not in Wisconsin I don't think. Thsoe farm roads are there for the farmers not the bikers. Manure on the roads in spring is a given. | ||

this isnt a farm road. regular public road,, even paved.. dodging road apples around hear is a regular past time. a large amish population. but a nice 300 yard spread is rather un expected. im sure it is illegal. but in this state instead of just hosing it off the side of the road, they would bring in hazz mat, | ||

sides, if ya tried to sue every chucklehead that got in your way, two things would ensue -- thing the first -- you'd spend all day in court, with no time to ride, and tooth -- someone would be suing YOU (everyone is somebody's chucklehead, yes?) gotta be careful out there -- | ||

Most states have laws about covered loads/loose loads, but unfortunately almost every law written has an exemption for farming operations. | ||

notice how all those dump trucks now have signs.... Stay back 50 feet Not responsible for broken windshields How about cruising down the four lane and - coming across rocks the size of your fist strewn all about. For the next 10 odd miles at that. Dodging those just aint fun, well not like playing turtle hockey and 'dillo hopping |
