my shovels all seem to have wooden handles, but I did plow up a field one time with a Kawasaki and took out a big chunk of a 5 strand barbwire fence while doing it.

Sorry no pictures of the resulting cuts and brusies. I do have one of these though

I did forget to mention that I hit that fence at about 60. damn barbwire makes one hell of a weird sound when it stretches up tight really fast.

Hey Dave I did that trick in 1975, just two months before I got married, I was on a XS650 Yamaha and was doing about 80 mph, I left the road, taking the guide post with me, hit the effen bard wire fence, snapped all four wires, removed one fence post and never got as much as a scratch, was very fucking sore for awhile tho, I sometimes think that that little excursion was the start of all my back and shoulder issues that I suffer with today
