Anyone ever hit a critter with the Spyder?

[pickelhead]

You gotta watch those squirrels. Where there a squirrel there's usually a Moose and a couple of Russian spy's!

Hit a squirrel while driving my Kenworth yesterday, there wasn't anything to see afterward.

That is just TOO funny!!!! I've never heard it before.

oh but you have lived a too sheltered life

[bruiser]

I hit a large box turtle the other day with the rear wheel and the squish and crackle was horrendous! The nanny even had a little to say about it and the rear end wiggled a bit.

I hit a large box in my truck. It just went thump.

[bruiser]

several people on here, including myself have hit deer with them. Some have went to the hospital over the accidents. I would not worry to much about squirrels, they breed about as fast as rabbits, both taste good but squirrels are rodents so would you feel bad hitting a sewer rat?

Down here we call them tree rats.

[bruiser]

I ran over a armadilo with the rt ft wheel @ 60 mph bump that was it

thats called possum on the half shell.

There was a lady used to be on this site who was hit in the face by a turkey. The driver ducked she didn't.

There are 2 types of animals. Those that are squishable and those that are NOT squishable. Depending on their size.

Rar, is the base still open up there??

No. They closed it a few years ago. The city redeveloped the property. In fact, when we moved from Saranac Lake, we purchased one of the condos on Base. Did you know Plattsburgh has one of the longest, if not the longest runway in the US?

Hi! Answering for Bruiser and he said he did realize that. He also said it used to be "Strategic Air Command", but he calls it "Sadistic Air Command".

I haven't hit anything and hope to never do that. At least we don't have skunks in this area, but lots of possums, squirrels and other critters. I get too upset even seeing something hit on the side of the road.

Happy to say that I have not squished any small critters. I have had a couple moose encounters but ended up not hitting them. On one, I had to go to the other side of the road because the moose stopped and held his ground--fortunately for me there were no oncoming cars--the other option was the ditch, which I would have taken--had I no other choice at that time.

At least with the ,s three wheels we have more options and safety equipment than riding two wheels. My final ride in Wisconsin--before moving to AK--I encountered a deer while riding my VStar 650. I left about a 20 ft skid mark, but was able to stop in time. That one came out of the woods at the last second. A memorable last ride for sure.

Yes, it was a SAC base. Living here on the former Base, has given me a perfect spot for ryding practice- 35 mph speed limits and little traffic.

I, too, get upset with the critters on the side of the road and have to avert my eyes.

Here's my story and I'm sticking to it.

But it is just plain old wrong!
(And I don't even like cats!)

Rar,
YOu guys were in Saranac Lake? Our camp is up in Onchiota on the old International Paper Company propterty.
We always run back out to the "Blue Line" for entertainment at least once each year...

Yup- lived there 23 years before moving to the 'Burgh' last year. When you next come this way, and if you bring your Spyder, we all should try to get together for a ryde.
