    Well, the things that you see on a ride. (or...the things you see when you haven't got a gun).

    Had a great blat through Noojee/Powell Town to Healesville with some mates on HD's. On the way back, going through Nayook at the twisty bits, There was a size 300 pig (300 + kgs), walking on the road. Rider coming the other way had to come over our side of the road to avoid said pig. All good, we saw the beast before we got to it.

    Fighting down our natural instincts of "How do we get a 300kg pig on the Harley", & envisaging a big spit BBQ, our finer qualities came to the fore. Afterall, we are law abiding harley riders....ask anyone. We decided to round up pig & get it off the Rd. While one of our number rode to the farmhouse, others took up the "round-up" task.

    Imagine our surprise when mother pig was joined by about 10 piglets. Our immediate thought was, "how do we fit a piglet on the Harley". Yummmm...BBQ time. However the owner was roused, & he turned out to be on old bloke that had just come out of hospital, so we assisited in securing all that pork. You see, we're not all bad. (Damn, I could almost taste that piglet on the spit.) Made for an interesting ride to say the least.

    Hahaha, Good story Fatman good on yas. Years ago we were coming out of the hills up near Dartmouth dam (East side between Benambra and Corryong) we came across a big sow walking down the middle of the road, as we were drivin past I said to my cousin "must be one of the local girls" he pissed himself laughing, I certainly wouldnt want to hit one on the bike.
