Unpleasant Afternoon… (Patreon)

Today I learned a valuable lesson while riding my motorcycle behind a livestock trailer on the highway… A hard lesson. A piece of info I wish had been explained to me before I came up close behind a semi truck hauling live cattle, looking for a way to pass him. The stench of piss and crap almost made me vomit in my helmet. Then (because we were traveling up a steep grade… ) I began to see liquid spraying out of the back of the trailer… followed by that mysterious liquid hitting my windshield and glasses and face. It was a fine mix of cow crap and piss. Yeah… And at the point I realized I couldn’t safely pass him, I finally had to pull over and accept the fact of what had just happened. I’m back to camp now. Showered, and clothes in a trash bag outside for now. Will be washing the bike down later as well. If you are on a bike and see a livestock trailer ahead, DO NOT approach. It is literally just spraying animal feces out the open back. How that’s legal, I have no clue. Just pull over and find another route. Today was a crappy day and I’m done. The stories “real men” on bikes will never tell you… Awesome.
