• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Hit an Alligator Today

That's so bad! I love cats.... I just can't eat a whole one by myself :yikes:.

:roflblack: :roflblack: :roflblack:

I believe it. We met at Cowtown and I agree...you're too small to eat a whole cat! Maybe we can split one next year at MO Spyderfest! :D

(ok...I like cats, too...even though I'm allergic to them)
 
Yep - one got my cat and my motherinlaw's cat. Now if I see one in my yard, I'm just gonna shoot it.


In southern California it was Coyote's. And just like with alligators, you have to watch out for your little dogs.

Did you know that Coyote's are one of the few animals that will eat cats?

I imagine that alligators will also eat cats.

I like Coyote's and Alligators...:D
 
Gators will eat anything that wonders down to the water's edge. I doubt that the possibility of choking on a hair ball will deter one from eating a cat !
 
Cats are too oily. Don't ask.

No really - I actually rescue feral cats. Most I've had was 41 - down to 20 something now. I also rescue greyhounds (from the track), raccoons, opossums, squirrels, and most other critters that turn up on the porch or at the barn. Hatched a batch of snapping turtles once, but never had an up close and personal relationship with an alligator and hope I never do.
 
Gator! Yikes!

So glad neither you or your Spyder sustained any damage.

Gator-all I can think of is "new shoes and a purse". Glad all is well.
 
Late one night i was riding past a farm and this pig ran out in front of me. Hit him dead on.
It's late at night no one around to see what happened.
So i figured let me just get out of here and go home. Well by the time i got home there was a State Trooper waiting at my door.
Then he ask me did, you know you hit a pig and left the Scene of an Accident?
I asked him how did you know it was me who hit that pig?



The Trooper said = The pig squealed


well played i will tell this one at work this weekend,

Glad you made it thru unhurt, I rode around down there when I was in FL, I have friends I stay with in Ft, Myers FL
 
If you see a gator in your yard, that is going to make the news..:D
LOL - I meant cayotes - they are in the yard. Last time I saw them was when there was snow on the ground. They were huddled under a canoe we had in the woods.

My motherinlaw's cat never left the deck. So they were up there. Also Tracks right up to my front steps. The cat I have now doesn't go out anymore except to join me for my morning coffee on the front steps before work. Other than that she stays inside.

Scotty...

Gators fall under the catagory of Fish and Game down here. And they are always to busy fishing and gaming to pay damages. :roflblack::clap:

One night not long ago a fellow near Lake City hit a 500 pounder. Destroyed his two week old silverado. And it didn't kill the gator... local police had to put him down because the fish and game didn't show. After waiting 4 hours they took care of business. /Ken krb1945

:roflblack: It would have been easier to classify them as "luggage". Give 'em to the airlines and they'd just disappear! :roflblack:
 
Wow, lots of gators here in FL, so glad u are ok :thumbup:

My folks live in FL and we went to Myacca State Park. There were gators everywhere. There was this couple w/ a toddler in a canoe - got real close up to the gator to take pics. I thought that was insane!
 
Hiting a good sized gator while doing over 100mph in a boat could be as disasterous as hitting one crossing the road with a Spyder :yikes:

(click on the boat thumbnail and you will see where my screen name comes from)

I never did get my retired greyhound you and I talked about. Still thinking about it. :D

.

We had one big 100 pound greyhound, and now we have a (somewhat) smaller one.

Great pets. Great with people. They don't bark hardly ever, but are keen as watchdogs--they'll let you know when something's up, they just don't make a ruckus. They are not good with big windows nor with stairs, having never seen any on the track. (Our first one made it up a flight of steps the first time in two leaps, but tried to go down the whole flight in one step. Not pretty.)

I can attest that they can also outrun most things on legs, other dogs, cats, fox, deer, skunk (yeah, that was bad) I know for sure--probably even outrun alligators :D

Can't use invisible fencing with them, 'cause they'll run right fast through it, get shocked while at full speed, say to themselves "What the heck was that?!" but by that time will be trapped on the other side of the "fence" and not be able to figure out how to get back to the house.

You can't use invisible fences with alligators, either.

(See? now it's still a "thread" and not a "hijack.")
