Re: Raccoon. Seriously?

I wonder whats the retail of a cow?[/quote]

The bike was'nt badly damaged really. Bent forks, bent front guard, broken headlight and scratches on the pipe, footpeg and handlebars. Got the forks straightened, new headlight (a round car one fitted straight in), panelbeated the guard and the old Yamaha TX500 was good to go. Did'nt worry about scratches back then, must have been cool to have em.

Given the price of a beefburger these days, I'd say quite expensive

Re: Raccoon. Seriously?

So that would be $1600/£800 for two cows... Hmm, it makes me think how many burgers/steaks etc we could get from one single cow?

Re: Raccoon. Seriously?

Coming from a farm background a cow can cost as much as a dollar a pound, depending on the age of cow and the cattle market.

Re: Raccoon. Seriously?

A buddy of mine hit a baby deer, bounced off him and hit the mother then dumped the bike and only cracked the side fairing and bent his peg. He got lucky. If its smaller then your tire (the animal) dont do anything just roll off the throttle and hold on, most times youre gonna make it over it or the little bastards gonna make it out of the way before you hit it. Always look where you want to go not at what you dont want to hit.

Re: Raccoon. Seriously?

For a burger, depends where you go. I mean you can go to McDonald's and get one for like a dollar if you want.

Yeah but Mac's aren't really beef, are they? They're more of a mix of worms, cat food, sugar and some kind of magic ingredient to make you think you want another one. No, I think I'm talking about something a little more real than Mac's. Do you guys still have Denny's? From memory, they used to make a pretty good beef burger
