Not yet. For those that do, or have dogs that tangle with skunks, this is a very effective remedy. Forget about tomato juice or commercial (bottled) skunk remedies. They don't work. You can't mix this stuff up in advance; due to the chemistry, it won't work. Has to be mixed and used on the spot. It's amazing.

One gallon of warm water, half cup of liquid dishwashing detergent, 16 oz. hydrogen peroxide,quarter cup of baking soda. Mix together and work into hair, skin, clothes. Leave on for a few minutes for it to neutralize the stink, then rinse off. If you need more, double or triple the recipe.

As long as we're on the topic of road spatter, the first bird I hit was a robin that was building a nest. Mud flew out everwhere, last fall I was cleaning the bike and found a spot that I apparenty missed. Flightcontrol, 50 cal machine guns...how antiquated, wouldn't do with anything less than guided missiles, nothin' but high tech for my rebel!

Kelty rebel rider, sorry we got so off topic.

I wonder how a snow plow deals with animals ?

**cagie** · 04-10-2009, 11:53 PM

same as everything else, you know cars, trash cans, lost people, etc... just scrapes them off to the side and we find 'em in the spring. Ahhh, the wonderful aroma of roadside springtime =)

A few years ago I was on the freeway on my dads 1100 shadow doin 'bout 80 and took a bumble bee in the collor bone. I didnt even see it coming so I didnt know what it was till I pulled over. I could have sworn i hit a small bird till I looked at my shirt. In my defence it was a really big bee.

I had just came out of a left turn and started to get into the throttle. Then splat a big yellow spot right in the middle of my face shield. I didn't think I was going fast enough to splatter a bug. When I stopped it turned out to be pollen, the bee may have survived but I ruined his whole days work.

Beware of all animals when riding, especially the two legged ones without feathers!

Deer? Intelligent? They can't even cross the road where the signs are!
