How come you guys are burying all the good news stories? Is there a war? Is this an election year?

After an accident, Sharon Anderson, 28, of
Dale, S.C., told sheriff's deputies that she hit a large animal,
theorizing it must have been a rhinoceros. Clearly not -- the rhino
isn't exactly indigenous to South Carolina. A deputy found the 400-500
pound animal dead from its injuries: a hippopotamus, which had wandered
away from a private preserve. But even with the police report to back
her up, people don't believe she hit a hippo, Anderson says. "They say
stop lying, there's no hippos around here." (Bluffton Carolina Morning
News)

...Well, not anymore.

The bike industry is working on some new accessories for this very
problematic issue. Cobra, Kewlmetal, Show Chrome etc. are all working on
front end brush guards. Biggest problem still to work out is mounting to front
forks.

Should be a big seller in Texas also :lol:
