Big Ol Gator

[slick97spirit]

Had to leave out last night to visit a customer of mine about 3 hours from home so thought I'd take the scoot and make a ride out of it. About 45 min. down the road (it's dark out) and I begin to hear the truckers talking about a "big ol gator" at mile marker 71.4 I look up to see where I am and BAM. At that point I didn't have to wonder where it was anymore.

The bad part is that it was laying upright and curled instead of flat.

I rode it out, but it shattered one & maybe both of my lower cowlings.

Guess I'll be looking for those soon.

 

I'm just glad I'm here to tell about it.

Lucky it only hurt the bike.

 

Those ozark gators are hungry beasts

The only thing worse than finding a Big Ol Gator in the road is watching it hatch.

 

Glad you came out in one piece.

[ediddy]

Wow! That had to be an eye opener. Glad you didn't get hurt and have to deal with those evil insurance companies that forge your name to the uninsured motorist form.

[Wanderer]

Glad you're alright. I've been fortunate not to have tangled with any gators, yet.

Knock on wood.

Now that couldn't happen could it???

 

Glad you weren't hurt Ken. WV Gators seem to be everywhere this spring. Didn't see as many in Georgia.

Hope your Insurance takes care of it.

Yikes! Good thing it didnt pick that time to have a big yawn! Good riding to get over that!

[FreezyRider]

Well, I'll go out on a limb here and make a guess that Ken's insurance will handle this promptly and fairly.

 

 

 

 

 

It helps to be an insurance man in these situations, huh Ken?

[GeorgeS]

Sorry about the Damage, and Accident.

 

However-- this is the Best Story, I've heard in a long time !!!

 

Was there any " Road Kill " left over ???

Thanks guys, I guess we'll see how it goes. I'm not gonna be in a hurry about it. I can still ride it like it is.
