Caught on Tape

[JSolo]

I started a similar thread in a different forum. Many of us drive with dashcams these days and come across all sorts of strangeness in the roadway. To start off, here's a pic from last fall.

The road is a 4 lane divided highway near a wooded area. Going ~60 mph bambi decides to cross the road as I'm doing a lane change to the outside lane.

Deer was not hit. But I soiled myself. My Jeep.

By the time I saw it and reacted (slamming on my brakes), it was already past me. Only doing 45

DOH! a Deer! I'm extra alert around dusk and dawn in deer country - More so when I'm driving in Moose country! hit one of those at speed and you might not walk away, nevermind drive away

Beats a cow in the middle of the lane coming around a blind corner on 2 wheels. Here's its relative a bit further down the road. Enough time to pull over, remove gloves, grab camera.

lmfao I remember living in Virginia and Maryland and losing count how many times a deer almost got introduced to my car or seeing one laying on the side of the road. It's sad but so scary too!

Florida I gotta watch out for iguanas and gators and monitor lizards crossing. I never want to hurt an animal while driving.

Bambi was lucky this day...

^^Reread what I wrote... You missed a key point about quantity of wheels

And a look at your avatar, there's a clue.

Maybe you were going around the corner REALLY fast in your Stinger?

Here's the bigger version. Lovely bike too. About half the HP (at the wheel) of this car.

Is that a Tail of the Dragon capture?

 

[JSolo]

Yes it is. Seems that was a life time ago... 2010. I must of put 25K miles on the bike that year. Several sets of tires, a chain/sprockets, brakes and some other stuff.

My first passion will always be bikes. Cars..... two wheels too many, lean the wrong way in turns, heavy. I still see a k1600gt somewhere in my future.

Was going through some older videos. Here's one from few years ago, Galena IL area.

I mean I have been on 2 wheels with my stinger. Once had all of em off the ground when a bump was immediately followed by a dip. Actually that happened twice so I basically jumped my stinger twice. Who even needs a dirt bike? My poor adjustable dampers didn't sign up for this. I had it in sport with the Mando so I didn't bottom out. With Mando in comfort I bottom out a lot.

Ahh... Filling up at costco...

Wait a minute...isn't the Stinger's fuel door on the driver side?
