A Hong Kong cyclist required hospital treatment after he was attacked and set upon by a wild pig, a report says.
Wong Pok-hon was cycling to work along a highway in sleepy Tai Po district in the New Territories when the 1.2 metre grey-brown beast suddenly appeared and rammed into his bike, sending him sprawling, the Sunday Morning Post reported.
After the collision, the pig continued its unprovoked attack and attempted to bite Wong who was forced to use his bike as a shield to protect himself from the raging hog.
The attack ended when another cyclist spotted Wong and fought off the pig with a metal bar, sending the animal trotting off back to the hillside.
Police said they had mounted a search for the fierce pig but had found no trace of the animal.

I had an armidillo get wound up in my crash guard a few years back on a long hard 25mph turn, bit my boot and got armidillo meat all over my V-twin before I kicked it off!
Yuck!!

Hmmm......
Excellent when roasted over a slow fire.
Skin it, gut it and put an apple in it's mouth and you are good to go........
