Killer Monster

[koko64]

A customer's M620 is lethal. He does a lot of summer night riding tempting fate.
So far he has run over a fox, stray dog and wombat killing them all. He has not crashed in any of these incidents despite some bike damage.

The fox put him into a vertical wheelie at 60mph when it lofted his front wheel. Major tank slapper and soiled dragon jeans only.

Stray dog bent his gear change lever with its skull.

Wombat got the bike airborne with minor wiggling of the bars due to Ohlins steering damper (fitted after the fox incident ). Wombat was cut in half and it's very thick skull half collapsed the front exhaust pipe. Wombat guts and shit all over the bike. I had to hot wash it before I could wheel it into the workshop.

I'm thinking of fitting a razor sharp Katana to the front end to slice his way through should he come across some roos or deer.

Sounds like Mother and the double raccoon incident.

Double raccoon incident sounds like a good story to tell drinking around a campfire.

[Howie]

We need to get you and Mother to DIMBY.

  One day.

Jeepers.  Well, after that, it sounds like he has 6 more lives left.

Yeah he says that.  You know the guy rides with one arm.. All the controls are on the LHS handle bar. The bloke is my hero. All the more amazing that he stays on the bike. The first one arm conversion I did for him was on a cruiser, but I convinced him to buy a Ducati and he's glad I did. He's in love with his Monster.
I fitted the steering damper to give him some back up.

He literally cut that wombat in half and launched both wheels into ghe air. Road kill and shit was cooked onto his motor and all over the rear rim and swingarm. It was a juvenile, hitting a full grown male could snap your forks. Wombats are furry boulders with eyes and not the sharpest animals.

Yesterday the owner of the Killer Monster told me he has made a donation to the local native animal shelter. Blood money.

 Haha! 

 I think the killer monster owner seems to have the correct method of dealing with animals, cutting right through them! The few times I've had animals cross my path, I've swerved around them crossing yellow lines and nearly loosing control! 

[koko64]

Those critters seem to run straight at him. The dog bit him on the boot but got his skull split by the gear lever and footpeg. Cracked the rearset.
Fox dived under the front wheel..
Wombats aren't the sharpest tool in the marsupial shed.

I try and sidestep behind them but they sometimes double back at the last minute. Like you guys we now have deer. The roos are bad enough.

I ran over a chipmunk under the tree house at Loudon a few years back.  It wasn't a big deal, but I did have to look at the carcass every lap for the rest of the session.

Howie would have preferred it a squirrel.

[Howie]

Close enough

Blinded by an oncoming car one dark october night I reportedly rode my RD350 between a mother moose (well, european moose, or "Älg", not quite as big as the US version) and her calf without noticing. The car was my neighbour and he asked me later that night if I saw the moose. What moose ...? I think a killer Monster would not have helped ... but your friend sure seems to be a very good rider
