Heart stopping!
« on: April 14, 2017, 07:03:39 PM »
Finally a nice sunny day here in Oregon so I went to fill the tank with non- ethanol across the river from me . Just as I got up to speed on the state highway a pickup dropped an entire load of twigs and cuttings right in front of me! I guess my early days of woods riding kicked in and I managed to avoid the larger chunks and powered though. The scoot seems OK and the tires weren't cut so all's well, but my old ticker took a beating though. You've just got to be ready for ANYTHING.

Only the LX version has those cutting and mulching abilities!
Well done bblue, glad you both came through intact.

I think if that happened to me at the least I would have wet myself.  :o

Good job keeping your wits about you. That could have gone horribly wrong.

As the sentiment goes, be safe out there.
