Hit one on I94 in Wisconsin in a Jeep Cherokee. Just clumps of fur and guts under the jeep. No other damage. Stunk for awhile.

That's the only two I've hit. Plenty of smaller mammals.

I dont want to give the impression I dont like the Q. Its a great bike and I wasnt looking for another bike. This deal just fell into my lap and I have wanted a Blast for a while, long before I took a look at the Q. I'm a bike addict, lol Theres no way I was gonna pass up a 03' Blast for $800.

JTCAndrew · 04-21-2011, 10:55 PM

I just googled the Blast to see what they looked like. What color is it?
What size? 500cc?

Zugzug · 04-21-2011, 11:02 PM

Heres a link to some specs. Its the red one. It come with the regular seat and the low'pro seat, vance and hynes exhaust, extra set of bars, and a new belt (old one broke) that I need to put on.

Sweet - I like the LoPro seat - I would need that as I am Vertically challenged! LOL Pretty cool sport bike. I had a KAW Ninja 250 that I wish I still had - Divorce years ago made the Ninja go Bye Bye.....Damn Ex Wives anyways! :twisted:

Zugzug · 04-21-2011, 11:46 PM

Yeah I had a 150cc and a 250cc scoot last year that I had to sell to move into this apartment so I could get away from the crazy #@%& wife. Tomarrow I sign the final papers and the divorce will be a done deal. Talking about a GOOD friday!

She gambled our money away and I had my M109 (1800cc) repo'd but managed to keep the rest of the stuff. My layoff didnt help things either. I still had my Nighthawk but of course they were out riding it and her friend totalled it and threatened to sue me for medical bills. So I ended up buying a china scoot. It was fun so I bought another one. Then I found out about her boyfriend she met at work. I just had enough so I moved out. 22yrs of which most was hell. It was one of my best decisions I have ever made

Peace of mind is a wonderful thing. I didnt even fight over it. I let her have what she wanted which was damn near everything and told her I would give her some money each month until I retire if she would just sign the divorce papers.

Thats how we do it here in PA! :wink:

Does the Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC) allow you to keep road killed deer? When I lived in Pennsylvania the dead deer would literally rot on the side of the road, because only the Pennsylvania Game Commission was allowed to collect them. Supposedly, the PGC would deliver the venison to suitable charities; however, the PGC never seemed to collect the road kill. :roll:

Spud - PGC hahahahaha yeah right......Thats all im saying......

JTCAndrew · 04-22-2011, 06:53 AM

Zug - Sounds like your on the road to recovery - Congrats......

dmmcd · 04-22-2011, 12:45 PM

I did a little shopping yesterday and today... I ordered the 16 tooth sprocket from JetsRUs, I ordered a 3 pack of oil filters from eBay and I scored a set of Acerbis hand guards from eBay.

I want to change the oil pretty soon, and I'll change out the filter at that time (~250 km) to clean out any particles from break-in. I will also install those risers at some point. It looks like a rainy weekend, but I don't know if I'll have time to tinker or not.

Zugzug · 04-23-2011, 01:03 AM

Thanks Andrew. Yeah I was devistated at first but doing pretty good now. Actually I'm doing great, and today was a GOOD FRIDAY! lol Divorce papers signed, got my new ride, ate some birthday cake n icecream (tomarrows the actual date though) I have definately been blessed lately.

JTCAndrew · 04-23-2011, 06:46 AM
