Title: Truth in Advertising
Post by: Kerry on July 07, 2005, 04:21:15 PM
From my 2 July ride that included about 8 miles of unfamiliar dirt & gravel road (with steep switchbacks!) out in the middle of nowhere:

Are there any other photos out there that fit the "Truth in Advertising" theme?  Post up!

Your worst nightmare eh ... Kerry ... After you clobbered that cow ... wont it have been ironic if the cows dragged the sign over close to you and pointed it to you screaming ... what you cant see ... this road belongs to us ...
On a related note ... whenever we see cows on the side of a hill (very common in Livermore - where we used to live) ... I'd always say "lets play cow tippin" ... and the more serious ... cow tipping is a team sport right ... you and the cow are a team right ... Or what do you call the loser in a cow tipping contest ... Steak ...
Cool.

i call him slow poke.
i did it once, buddy ran over and hit one the same time i did. the cow he tipped was a Dehorned bull. the bull recovered pretty damn fast and gave chase.  poor ole jim had just laid both hands on the fence to vault over when el toro caught up to give him a boost.  

needless to say he cleared the fence, the 5 foot gap between the fence and pickup bed, the width of pickup bed to land on the opposite side of the truck with a resounding snap. 2 ribs and a callarbone broken and a bruised tailbone.
