To be honest , its not the known animals that bother me " other then deer " . but when it comes to the nervous feeling of being chased , I tend to think of the unknown creatures that may be wondering the back road woods at night !! Like some kind of flying creature , like a gargoyle , or something like Bigfoot , hel hounds , and things of that nature. Even certain alien beings would be a pretty scary encounter. Actually it really doesn't matter if you going slow or not when it comes to the aliens , lol. Check the stories of the "Mothman" and "Flatwoods monster". and go WOT screaming into the night!  (*right over the state line in West Virginia) I know mothman " not personally " , but I'm not sure about the flatwoods monster . I can probably name a good 25 different types of " monsters" that many have claimed they've seen. And yes I do believe in most . I believe that there are many other dimensions in which tend to become part of our own from time to time. When police officers put their reputation on the line by claiming things they have seen , its hard to look the other way. I also tend to believe some of the millions of people who claim to have had encounters. There is no such thing as the supernatural , only very large gaps in what many Perceive to be natural. I've had a few moments in my life when my dreams have brought a little clarification to there being more to we as humans then many think. I have dreamt of friends dying , then to wake up and find out they died as I was dreaming it. Just a few months ago my wife's sister was having a baby . I fell asleep in the afternoon " as she was delivering the baby. I dreamt of the baby being held by the doctors and blood was all over and everyone was crying. After I woke up " couple hrs later " I told my wife what I dreamt. About 2 yrs later she gets a call from her mom who told her that the baby died twice due to the umbilical cord being wrap around her neck and blood loss . when they got her out , and they cut the cord the clamps flew off and the baby lost a lot of blood. She stop breathing twice and was brought back , but ended up dying a day later. This of course is not a pleasant memory but I tell u this because the world is a much different place with many senses and truths that not many are open to, but then again many are open to, just made fun of or look upon as crazy for believing in . thousands of yrs ago humans were more in touch with the universe then most are now. Today with the distractions of , TV , and material things , we have become numb to these senses and realities. How does one from 2000+ years ago know of other star systems without the tools to be able to see them . it becomes real when the tools of today varify what the ancients wrote about and worshiped. And when they claimed many of the knowledge was given to then by the star beings , its hard to deny it happened. This is the same with the afterlife . its hard to deny it when you hear the story's of the ones who die , then are suddenly watching themselves being worked on . some then go to a place that could be considered heaven and claim to talk to Jesus or god , only to be told that they have to go back, next week thing they know they awake back in their body and can describe to a T what they saw as the doctors worked on them . It kind of sucks that we will prob never in this lifetime know what is really going on , And what all is really involved with life as we now know it . what more is out there that we have the ability to unlock but will prob never get the chance ? |

Yeh , some of the pics others have drawn of the chupacabra are just like a gargoyle type creature with red eyes !! The red eyes thing is what makes many of these types of creatures scary. Some think its the weird dog type animal being found , but that's not even close to what many are seeing.

Ever have the fun of running into desert coyotes wandering around residential streets at night   To be honest , its not the known animals that bother me " other then deer " . but when it comes to the nervous feeling of being chased , I tend to think of the unknown creatures that may be wondering the back road woods at night !!

hillbillybob Have you tried those deer whistles on your bikes there? No I haven't. Back in my truckin' days, a lot of my partners in crime used them. I sort of figured if a deer couldn't hear my eighteen tires singing down the highway, or that big diesel engine breathing through twin, 5" exhaust pipes, he (or she), wasn't going to hear a whistle either. But since my two wheelers make so much less noise, maybe I should try a set of them, on just one, to see if I sneak up on fewer while riding that particular bike. On my way for coffee this morning, had to slow from 35mph to 10mph, and drop from 4th to 1st gear, while a goofey doe stood in the middle of the road, looking straight at me, trying to figure out just what that thing coming at her was. Never needed to brake, for she was a quarter of a mile up the road when first noticed, but she didn't leap into the woods until I was within 150 to 200' of her. By then I had slowed, and dropped a few gears, expecting 1 or 2 more to jump out in front of me, and follow their buddy. Non did, but I was ready. As I said earlier, this is almost a daily thing for me, and why I won't run much over 35 on our county roads.....even on the 1200cc machines. I grew up in greene county pa , which is considered a hick place to live , considering there are no main RDS that do not have woods or fields on either side, and the back roads are much worse. I now live in fayette county on the northern border of Greene , and it is no better when it comes to the the main and back roads. At night and early morn , you have a better chance of seeing a deer then not seeing one. During the late morn through the early evening before it starts to get dark , its not as bad. South western pa is a very conservative place to live . we have a big hunting and Coal mine community . well the coal mines have been going down hill since you know when , but I will not get into that . |

The rub is that our Florida Puma can too easily catch up with you in a sprint at the lower speeds. I had one running beside the bike for an uncomfortable amount of time one dark night. I felt something brush my leg and just saw the shadow of it in the dark by my muffler when I glanced down and was really startled at how quiet they were with no huffing, puffing or sound of any foot falls. No rips or holes in the pants but it was way too close for comfort. Lol, to be honest , I have this thing about riding on back roads at night. When I slow to under 30mph I get this nervous feeling as if I'm being chased by some creature , lol. Seriously , I'm not sure why , but I'm half expecting Bigfoot to grab me off the bike , or possibly some kind of huge hound with red eyes will be visible in my mirrors running after me , in which I would hopefully be able to grab my 1911 from my side before I get mauled, lol. |

I'm def gonna try he whistles . I was mainly going back to see if I killed it , but I didn't get a chance yet. I need to invent a system that detects and shoots them before they get in front of you , lol. Some kind of laser guided thing . it would have to be able to tell the difference between deer and humans , lol.

Thats absolutely correct. There always seems to be at least 2 that cross together. I should have known better , if it was early morn or late at night , I would have been more cautious.

This video is just about exactly what happened to me. I hit the deer in nearly the exact same place on the bike and on the deer. It swung around and hit my leg just like it did to him . but I was only doing about 40mph not  mph, and I didn't run into the oncoming lane . I was near double lines between both lanes. I might go look for the deer 2mro and see if I killed it. |

How's it going , I was riding my buell blast today and about 20 yards ahead a deer ran across the or road . I along with oncoming traffic slowed slightly , but I did not see any other deer about to cross because of high weeds and trees. Next thing I knew , there was another one crossing right in front of me. I had no time to brake , so I just braced and hit the deer near its lower neck near the top of the forks. The deer swung around and hit my right leg , but luckily I just drove right through it . somehow it missed the turn signal and just slightly moved my headlight, no damage done. I'm not sure about about the deer . I hit it pretty hard at around 40mph , and it hit my leg pretty darn hard . I def got pretty lucky !! The deer must have came into contact with the header , because it smells like burnt deer fur.

When I was about 14 or so, I was stung on my tongue while riding my bike down the road. Good times !

It seems as if I was shifting a little early. Shifting a little earlier helps a little , but it sucks not having a tach .

Top end seems as if its lacking power and with the lack of a sixth gear it has no chance. I can hit 75 in 4th gear but it is somewhat hard to hit the  mph mark in 5th. It just seems like it doesn't have the available power " at this point " to get the rpms up in 5th. It has a few downsides. Its an air cooled 500cc , low rpm engine " however the low rpm is a good thing due to the engine being air cooled" , other then 3rd and 4th , it seems as if most of the gears are geared too low. For instance , it feels as if you are starting in 2nd gear. Even 2nd gear seems a little too low at first . maybe I just need to figure this thing out a little better. The thing is that it has a redline of around 6500 rpms or so , so I'll usually switch from 1st to 2nd around 4,000 - 4,500 rpms , I can't really be sure because there is no tach. I will eventually get one. After getting a little into second , it has good pick up. 3rd and 4th are also nice , but 5th sucks. It feels like 5th was put in there just so u don't redline after 75 mph. Yes you can hit mph , but its not easy . its not like you hit mph and you just about redlined. Its more like you hit 90mph and your closer to 4000 rpms but have nothing left to push the engine any further. It maybe a tuning problem . I do need to replace the air filter. It doesn't look all that bad , but its over 10 years old . there was bad gas in the air box being blown back into the filter from the carb , so I need to change the filter soon. After that I may have better performance results. |

If I were alive back then , or even in the 20's , I'd be right along side of the bank robbers . back then u were considered a hero if u did things the right way. I would never do those things 2day , but back then I would have been in the history books , lol.

That's exactly what happened to my fuel float. It was broken and disintegrated.

My drum brake ajuster nut won't move why?
Is it turned all the way in ? Are u talking about the but that tightens the brakes at the back of the CVT ? If it is tightened completely , u need to readjust the arm before u can adjust them again. |
