Absolutely gutted...I killed a squirrel...

[Chilli]

I usually see a squirrel sitting on the fence most mornings, and I usually say good morning....just being polite you understand. However, this morning there were 2 on the road...playing. They both saw me and one ran into the wood, the other to the other side of the road. I watched "Woody" run(telling him off in the process) but by the time I was back looking for the other one, he went under my front. Stopped and tried to help the little fella, but he died in my hands.....

Can you believe, I'm a 35 year old bloke. Don't suffer fools, and have been known to hand it out when provoked always up for a bit of a row etc, etc...but I shed loads of tears over a feckin squirrel....I was in bits this morning knowing squirrel number 2 was all alone now...doesn't make sense. I think I may be hormonal....I'll check for breasts.

Anyway, a good weekend for a ride. Anyone out?

Stick its tail to the back of your helmet. You'll look really cool!

[Steve_T]

LOL Chilli you nutter, what have you been taking this past weekend? I don't think it's worn off yet.

[The Tramp]

perhaps you were a squirel in a past life??......

which would also explain why you have a attraction to hedges a such like.....

Just proves you are human mate

[Mad Dave]

That's a pretty far fetched excuse for falling off again mate

LOL - GAYER !!!!

I wouldn't worry mate - the other squirrel will be off shagging some other squirrel by the end of the day !!

I had a nice run out on the bike at the weekend. First time I've ridden for probably a month because of this weather !!

:shakes head: Chilli, you're a biker FFS! Surely you had to bite the head off a chicken as part of your CBT?



(Maybe that's just Hertfordshire).

I once hit a tabby cat whilst I was driving. Didn't quite kill it. Had to go back and finish it off with a jack.

BLAM.

I assume that when you say squirrel you actually mean a ‘tree rat’. (One of those grey things that have killed off most of the real squirrels.)

All I can say is ‘good shot sir’!

[virgil]

If it was a grey one (chances are is was) then they may look nice and cuddly, but they are vivious buggers that have exterminated most of the home grown variety. They are seen by most as vermin, like rats and pigeons...etc etc.

Still, not nice to be on the sharp end of offing one if that's not your bag though, so I feel for you for your traumatic entry into squirrel culling!

Now, back to man talk...

[Glassman]

This squirrel obviously didn't drink Carling Black Label.

[Oilyyyy]

Not nice to kill something accidentaly - but i think it's only the fluffy tail that distinguishes them from being rats. . .
If they had wirey tails like rats i'm sure everyone would hate the things.

I live in Formby - home of the Red squirrel in the Northwest and as a Town we hate the bastard american imported grey one's. I believe the National Trust is funding a Culling ?

[Oilyyyy]

Does that mean Chili can apply for a grant now ??

[Wyvern971]

tbh, when I read the thread title I thought you'd come off the R6 because you ran over the squirrel..........

If you really feel that bad about it call the samaritans

[Biker's Nemesis]

Kevin Schwantz once described the handling of his RGV as "kinda squirrely.
