[BLUEKNIGHT911]

Hey Coz, glad you're OK bro....but I have bad news....if you "heard" it ....it was not a "BB" or "Pellet" gun ...they are almost noiseless.....Might have been a .22 or worse.....You lucked out tho...:pray: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:......Mike

[ARtraveler]

Glad to hear you are all right. That can be scarry. I would stay away from that neighborhood also.

[Arr MiHardies]

Glad you are ok. Did it hit the Spyder?

[Utah Geezer]

Whoever it was they must have a fear of Spyders.

[Dar]

That's the first thing I thought, too. If you heard it, it wasn't a bb or pellet gun...

:shocked:

[captblack]

Return fire?????

[Bob Denman]

That's the first thing I thought, too. If you heard it, it wasn't a bb or pellet gun...

:shocked:
You got shot at by something with a LOT more sting than an air-powered "toy"... :shocked: This could have been a trip to the Hospital or worse in fact!
This kind of crap just ticks me off... :gaah:

I feel better now...

[JJW SpyderRider]

Coz, I agree with the others, if you heard it, it was not a BB gun :yikes:. Did it hit the :spyder2: or just something nearby? Small caliber .22 might be heard before the bullet hits, I have been able to watch the actual bullet of .22 shorts as they travel away from me they move so slow. Anything bigger it would of been lights out before the sound. Stay safe and stay away from there!!!

[coz]

i'm pretty sure it was a pellet gun. i have two of them, so i recognize the sound, and the low speed of the projectile. a .22 pelet can still do some damage though.:(

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

Hey Bob, except for the size and color those little guys remind me of ME and my solution for certain events/situations..:yikes: :gaah: :agree: :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

[Bob Denman]

I thought that I recognized you... :roflblack:

[Spyder601]

Glad your ok that's crazy. I wouldn't be going that way anymore either

Probably shot high, And you can hear it, It's the sound of the projectile going bye.
Projectile's make two distinct sounds, The first the projectile going though the air,
Then the Propellent.
In Nam it was called ... The crack and the dud.:shocked:

Glad to here your ok. Pretty scary out there these days. Had a customer in my shop this week with a bullet hole in the B Pillar of his Grand Marquis about 4 inches from his head. He is a senior citizen who was minding his own business heading home on the highway. Heard the noise but didn't realize what it was until he got home..

Stay safe and away from that neighborhood. :pray:

I have had a few and the 1,000 fps barrel cock pellet rifles beat the sound barrier like a rifle and have a crack.
They can kill a squirel at 100 yards ! Your lucky!

[kinggeek]

Holy crap, Glad you are OK Coz! I was over there last night also but not on the Spyder, my wife and I went to Terry's Turf Club for Dinner.

[coz]

of terry's turf club. very shakey area. it's really a shame too. it's a nice ride through there. from downtown all the way out through the east side burbs. been riding that route for 25 years. now it will have a detour in it.:thumbup:,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,ps, thanks for the spyders Dax.

[Questions]

What part on eastern ave? This nice biker stopped in on a cafe style racer, to invite all spyder riders to the custom bike show 2x month on Sundays (classic cars on Sat) at Fuelman across from Schmidt Fields. Hmmm Not sure we want to hang there - but we were considering checking it out tommorow! I think this has changed our minds. Thanks for the post Joe & Kathy

[coz]

just come in on kellog. that is way west of the neighborhood in question. i'd like to meet you guys at that show. what time?:thumbup:

:agree: The .177s can give you a sonic crack, but I'm unaware of the .20s or .22s getting to those velocities... I'm surprised that it could be heard over the mechanicals of the Spyder riding by. That's why I assumed .22LR... :shocked:

[bruiser]

I would've thought 22 as well, so I got my 177 pump out. Pumped it to max, jacked in a 177 and guess what? Yep, sounds like a duller version of a 22. Now I have to go apologize to my neighbor three blocks down for killing his street light. :joke:

[Bob Denman]

Don't worry about it... His kids were probably the ones who snuck in and peed in your pool last year... :shocked:

[bruiser]

So that's what killed the algea!!!
