I was carrying mine on the handlebars. Hit a stump or something that jerked the handlebars out of my hand (thank God I was going slow) and the end of the limb on the Excal came around and wacked me in the throat. Left a nice .50$ size blue & red mark. Get back home and the 'ol lady asked who game me that hickey on my neck at the hunt club? Anyway I survived both incidents. Thanks for the pics.
