forkie Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 If that was a p*ssed off bull charging for real, there would be two very broken BMW's at the bottom of the valley and two men in ICU...agreed. which is why I would have completely soiled myself had it been me.
DJR Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 If that was a p*ssed off bull charging for real, there would be two very broken BMW's at the bottom of the valley and two men in ICU...Agreed. he was just feeling cornered and wanted to get out of there. If he was pissed off, he is well capable of tossing a motorbike like that 10 metres into the bush.
Long Wheel Base Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 I would sell my bike there and then and take up golf https://youtu.be/wYjma7Na1fgGot to love how the front guy asks if he got it on camera. Then the camera man later says 100 okes will tell us we did the wrong thing. That could have ended very badly, Can't see you getting medical support in a hurry there. johannrissik 1

DJR Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) Got to love how the front guy asks if he got it on camera. Then the camera man later says 100 okes will tell us we did the wrong thing. That could have ended very badly, Can't see you getting medical support in a hurry there.I looked at it, wondering whether they did right or wrong, also, how I would have dealt with it? The front guy did keep a respectful distance, but I think they herded the buff for quite some distance in the hope that he would get off the road before he decided enough is enough and turned back. He certainly didn't charge them. That road is narrow and you cannot go off it, both up or down-slope is so steep, even the buff didn't want to try it. Perhaps they should have just stopped and waited, but who knows, that might have taken hours before he ambled off. There is no turning back to take an alternative road. So, pushing gently, waiting, pushing again.......was a logical choice. Luckily it turned out OK for everyone. Luckily. If anything, the lesson to learn from it, is that wild animals are unpredictable. Once he came towards them, they did the right thing, which was to give him all the room possible. Edit: Would be interesting to know where the wind was blowing from. Edited April 19, 2017 by DJR Long Wheel Base, forkie and Sepia 3
DIPSLICK Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 I would have dropped a load, and i would have prayed the wind favored my "new" weapon  honestly I think the first rider made the best possible call, if he was hit on the bike it would have ended very poorly

Soiling myself even before I saw this clip. Note: hiking through here also.Writer Robert Ruark, said that an old Buffalo bull wakes up in the morning, feeling terribly grumpy.......and then he just gets grumpier as his day goes on. He also said that they look at you like you owe them money and are badly overdue paying them back! I can, on some mornings, start to relate to that........  Thank the gods for coffee KnobbyMech and BSG 2
