EPIC Tree FAIL/WIN

Sign in to disble this ad
Had a big storm the other night and this happened:



I assumed it had split on the ground and toppled. Not so - check out the pictures. This whole thing came from 20 feet up!! That kind of freaks me out.



We measured the fallen appendage. 104 feet. Love to weigh it.

Very considerate to land exactly between my truck and my dwelling. (That's the WIN part.)

Aw, c'mon now. A zebra? Really? Everyone knows they steal your trees to sell at the saw mill so they can buy their Meth. No way a zebra would have left that one behind when he needs a fix. I think it was definitely the Karate Cat:

Hey, not all zebras are addicted to meth. That's a terrible stereotype that needs to be laid to rest. Ya know, it's people like you that make me feel sorry for the word.

FIGHT FOR ZEBRA RIGHTS!!!

That's a '77 BMW. Funny you should ask, though, 'cause it replaced a CB750 from the same year. (I usually use a cover, but the wind blew it off.)

Not sure what the zebra is riding.

Ah, looks like my CB 750, only mine is blue. Those old BMWs are really cool bikes as well. Old bikes are way better than any new bikes out there, they have character. I think the Zebra is riding a CBR600RR.
