Barb wire

[donbrown]

So just trying to hear any stories about barb wire .
Have had it stuck in a drive train of just about everything. Tractor, motocycle, truck, car, disc, plow , bailer, bike, leg , and snowmobile.

Still have a piece of one in my right leg. Had it cut out but the body still encapsulates the area.

Any good stories about this barrier to the other side?

Yep, back when 1 was about 9yrs old on a 1969 sno-pony I hit a single strand barb wire fence. I didn't see it because my goggles were fogged up and got it on my jaw bone. It slid up my face to my eyes. I got very lucky as I all got out of it was scaring up one cheeck and left my eyes intacked. It was very close on on eye, I almost lost it. The same goggles that saused me to hit it in the first place, saved my eye as the were toast. I sure don't miss living around fences any more!

Well, I am glad you saved your eye.

Oh my hell... we once bought a huge 2,000lb bull from another farmer. Well we went over and loaded it into my dads cattle truck using the guys loading ramp that was very overgrown with weeds and grass. Only after we tried to drive away from his loading ramp did we realize he had irrigated and the ground was really soft mud. So a bit of spinning wheels and rocking the truck with this now seriously pissed off bull in the back we got loose and drove out onto the road. There was massive noise coming out from under the truck so we stopped to take a looksee.

It seems that guy didnt use that ramp much and forgot to tell us he threw all of his spare wire there in front of it.. Bailing wire, barbed wire.. you name it. When we were rocking the truck some of that crap got hung up on the drive line in the rear u-joint... as we spun the tires more and more got dragged up and wrapped around the driveline, rear diff, u-joints ... bah! It got wound up TIGHT and we didnt have much more than a screwdriver and leatherman with us so it took a good hour of prying, cutting, swearing to get that mess freed up.

About 10 years ago my dad was trying to move some pairs out of our calving pasture. This one pair was near a creek and the quickest way to get to them was to unclip the wire from the posts and drive the 4 wheeler through the fence. He attempted this by standing on the throttle side of the four wheeler and stepping on the bottom two wires while holding up the top two wires and easing the throttle to drive it through. Well one of the top wires got entagled in the throttle and held it wide open. I think this surprised him and he stepped off the bottom wires causing them to catch on the four wheeler. To make a long story short, the bottom two broke while they were between his legs! The worst part of the cuts were in his upper, inner thigh. I don't remember how many stitches were involved but he enjoyed showing off the pants he was wearing and saying "The one time in my life I'm gland I'm not an inch longer".

Years ago we were sledding up out of Mtn. Home on Bennett Mountain. My hubby and a couple of other guys had gone up this little hill and decided in their infinite wisdom to race DOWNHILL! Yep - dumb move on their part.

The hubby was riding an old 96 XLT and the brakes didn't work so good. When he hit the brakes, they were pretty nonexistent.........he was headed for a 2-string barbed wire fence! I was helpless and just sat there and watched as the barbed wire went up the front of the sled, across the windshield and the next thing I know he is laying on the ground with his legs on the seat of the sled. Of course, I freaked out.

When we all got over there, we realized that the wire broke when it hit the windshield and just shredded his bibs (brand new ones) and tangled around his feet. He was unscathed!

Once I found out he was okay, I wanted to beat him to death for such a stupid stunt!

Barbed wire is not a sledders friend!

So just trying to hear any stories about barb wire .

I could have had a sister in law named that, Barb Wire. Brother's gf was named Barb, our last name is/was Wire (hence the username).

here's a deer tale last fall shot the buck he summersalted thru a fence we cut wires and here it is

 

[yukondood]

way back in grade school went to school with a guy that was chees grated by a fence. He was riding the farm fields in Sask. bottom line riding parrelel to barb fence and was riding on a snow drift, he was cooking along and the drift leaned towards the fence. He was 12-13 years old wearing a down coat and bib (that dates thngs). He ended getting cheese grated for about 40 feet between the sled and fence. End result from shin to forehead cuts and gashes galore filled with down. Worst part was the wait for ambulance and ride without pain killers to the hospital.
Healed up pretty good, kind a wonder how he is doing now

Happened to me too!

Riding in MN will sooner or later have you meet some sort of fence! I came over a little hill on my 1990 Mach 1 and there was a turn at the bottom (why do they do that) anyway I missed the turn and went into 3 strands of barbed wire. Two came over the hood, caught me around the lower chest, broke off on one side and wrapped around me tight holding both of my arms at my sides. Good thing I was not riding alone as my buddy barely missed me and was able to come and cut the wire off me! Torn coat, torn bibs, a couple scratches and a very thankful heart. I know of others that have not been as fortunate.

There was a movie called Barb Wire who starred Pam Anderson.
The opening scene was memorable.
It was humor!!

Huh? I don't get it.

Three years ago I was night riding up in the mountains. We were riding the road and playing in areas off to the left and the right. I went up the bank near the road and gunned it causing my headlight and skis to go skyward. I held the throttle wide open and took off up this hill and smacked into a four wire fence. Luckily the skis went between the top two wires so I only had one wire hit me. I stopped immediately and was laying on the ground all tangled up in the wire. Snowmobile coat was ***ged but I didn't have a scratch on me..Only tore the kill switch off the sled and gave her a couple of scratches...Very, very lucky...I hate barbed wire fences!!!!

Not exactly a barb wire story, but back when I was in high school, we went four wheeling one snowy night at our favorite local spot. I was driving my truck through the trees in about 10 inches of snow when all of a sudden I heard a nasty clanging sound. Apparently someone thought this place was the dump and decided to drop off a king sized box spring. The box spring was totally wrapped around the rear drive line. I tried getting the thing off with my limited tools but I couldn't even get to the u-joint bolts, the thing was wrapped so tight. Sayed screw it and drove about 10 miles home and spent about an hour and a half the next day cutting the crap off with the torch. Took out the rear seal on the transfer case and the front seal on the rearend. Damn Litterbugs!!!
