In the Cuuuuntry

...there lives an even bigger threat than the 'Woodland Alliance'. This
threat is called *fucking* farmers-with-muckspreaders!
These bastards always seem to be up at the crack of sparrow's fart leaving
great steaming trails of near liquid shit all over the roads round here.
Fine, I expect it on the B-roads and lanes, but *not* for the love of God on
the main A350! This particular piece of road near Warminster is superb for
'clearing out the cobwebs' and you really, really do not need to hit said
trail of shit at these speeds. Much acrobatics later, I still can't believe
I stated on the bike.
I think I'll be 'going commando' for the rest of the day as my shorts are
surely soiled.

Lets hope those Levi's are well rivetted together.

 

JB? He'z just ziz guy, you know?

I would think if you were a farmer that'd be one hell of a threat. I've
heard of pineapples being used, but muckspreaders?

From one extreme to another. Poor sparrows

Well done that man. Sniffdar set to max next time huh?

 

It was >>>>>that<<<<<< close to a *big* off. I've never had a slide at a
ton+ before. It does all happen very bloody quickly. I still don't quite how
I stayed on either.
I'm always alert for the smell of diesel, but it often smells of shit in the
cuuuuntry so you just wouldn't notice.

You can **** *right* off! It was the first thing I did when I stopped for
petrol about 3 miles further on. This is the 3rd time I've reported spills
to the police on my route to work this year.
****.

Excellent, well done. There are far too many people whinging about shit
and stuff and when you ask them what they do about it, it is nearly
always **** all.

Ho yuss.

 

Frankly I'm getting a bit pissed off twith the amount of diesel spills on
this route. It's admittedly a very busy trucker's route, with a couple of
large petrol stations catering for the larger HGVs. The spills near these
are outrageous. Every day I travel to work and see them. Some minor, some
huge. One spill I reported stretched for over 4 miles, leading up to a
parked HGV in a layby with a split diesel tank. Fortunately I was alerted
('waved') by a Hornet rider who saved my bacon that day.

Diesels spills occurring regularly by garages are what piss me off.
Plod could gain additional revenue funding points galore just sitting
there eating fucking donuts and watching. Sadly though they only seem
equipped to do the first two with any degree of competence round here.

Although, istm; if a few peeps were to be nicked for spilling after
overfilling the manufacturers of fuel receiving systems might come under
some pressure to do something about the design which allows overfilling
spills (apparently the commonest thing) to happen in the first place.

Who do we lobby?
