Be careful when riding in the forest as you never know when a limb may jump out and attack you as it did this guy.

Best advice slow down haul butt thing happen. Don't see the Cow the branch, wire ,fence post, truck, horse and the list goes on. A full length chest protector good idea.

That's a good one HAAAA. Have a go fast friend but does not know Baja. He passes us yells why ya all slowing down the army dug those big Xs. To prevent planes from landing near Coyotes. We had to sit with Mr go fast 2 hours until he decided he could get back up. We explained to Mr go fast how slow he is. As we could have been home if we did not wait for him. Jumpin cholla BW is the worst glade you reminded me , even slower when I see one.

Hotrodders who think they need to gofast sometimes wreck the ride for the sensible folks....I ride to "get home" with enough thrills along the way....and times to stop, smell the cactus, and snap a few pics...

I would add cattle to that list. They turn up in the oddest places.

Is there a doctor in the house? No...how about a tree surgeon, or a beaver?
