Quite a bit ago I remember a guy posting the pictures when he was riding through that place thats a swamp and a gator grabbed ahold of his front bumper.  As it was happening he took pictures.  It was a red 4x4 if I recall with a black rack bumper type thing that was mangled a bit from the gator.  I had the pictures saved but I cant find them anymore and nobody believes me about this one haha just my luck.  So does anybody remember the thread name or maybe they have the pictures saved?

I do remember I am trying to find it, I think he was in holeylands.
I told my wife that a husband is like a fine wine; he gets better with age. The next day, she locked me in the cellar.

There was another picture in that series that showed where the gator punched a hole into the bar with his tooth.  It was a pretty wild story, although I don't think I would have continued down that trail if the gator wouldn't leave.  The way he told the story, he rode over the gator after it had settled down into the water; he thought he would scare it away by running towards it.  Silly boy.   :D

Well if your tail got run over by a 500 lb quad with a 400lb guy on it you'd be pretty pissed too :o


If he wasn't smart enough to take pics it would have been a real tall tail. I don't seem to have the pic of the puncture in the tubing.

.....LOL Sorry budman, actually he may be buckfitty soaking wet ;D
