Jman said:Roné said:Ok, so after the buck incident I lost sight of bakkie and tried to catch up to him. There was some long boring sections and I did speeds of up 140km/h. I saw this off camber corner coming up and slowed down to about 100km/h. It was at this stage that I saw this big mother of a lion, at least 900kg of it in front of me in the road. The was a lot of loose shale and rocks in the road and I tried to slow down to turn around, but could not do so in time. I tried to dodge left - the lion went left, I tried to dodge right - the lion went right. That was when I realized I need to kill the ******* or be eaten. I went right into him and hit him at about 80km/h.
I unfortunately did not kill but only stunned him a bit and he ran off and was long gone by the time Thump arrived on the scene.
In any case, I am hurting like hell on my right side and can hardly lift my right arm. All I can say is thanks to ATTGAT. If it was not for that I would have been seriously hurt. Probably a couple of broken bones and very little skin left.
Lesson 1: Allways stay in your comford zone and if your mates want to race ahead, leave them.
Lesson 2: ATTGAT Rules !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ps. I'm in the market for spare parts for a KLR
Bliksem!, not many people can say they hit a LION an survived. Glad you got off ok though. :thumleft:
