Only thing I've hit are large beetles and bugs. I did however come across a herd of cows on the road out by Gladstone. I stopped (since it was the first time I'd come across this type of thing, and didn't know what else to do!), and finally turned off the engine to wait for them to wonder aimlessly up the road, which allowed me to hear the screeching woman telling me to "gah throo theeem, just gah" hehehe, so I nervously went forward, half expecting them to wander aimlessly into ME!

I don't like BIG, HEAVY, dim animals <_<

[sAsLEX]

That got to hurt!

Well, on the farm i had to move 3 bulls to a different paddock..... Ofcourse as soon as you get in there, they get all rarked up and start fighting each other..... you just have too make heaps of noise to get them to move..... well one of the bulls decided that the quad was another bull.... i got shunted back about 2 metres when i was doing about 10kmh..... The bull weighs about 900kgs.....

[Two Smoker]

Shit just watched the video.... Ouch definately comes to mind....... and they werent even going hard.... Well done to the guy following for not freaking and binning himself......

I nearly hit a bird last time I was out on a ride with dangerous. I ducked to miss the bird and dangerous reckons that if I didn't I would have got a faceful of sparrow.

A brown snake in Northern territory between Darwin and Katherine, I won the snake lost

Off road, a cow cut me off will I was shifting her out of a paddock on a two wheeler and she bolted. I was hung over and it was drizzling. Then I become sore, filthy, and pretty pissed off.

On the road one day I hit a hawk that took off from my right hand side and flew right in front of me smashing the clutch lever into my knuckles. It hurt but it was hurtin more I figured from the blood on my tank and pants. Glad he didn't hit the lever on the other side. At 120 it coulda got a little messy huh?

[Ghost Lemur]

Damn that's gotta hurt. :blink:

Still prefer the one someone else posted from a compilation. As the camera was on board the bike that actually hit the deer, so you saw the deer's eye right before the camera went out.

i attended a bike vs horse fatal at ohinewai about 13 years ago. pretty messy really - horse guts and person everywhere. he was only on a gn250 too - just too fast in the fog, although the horse shouldn't have been there either - had escaped/wandered from the local marae

[bluninja]

On an AMCC ride out a guy got hit on the back of the head by a magpie near Waingaro hot springs and left the road and planted himself in a tree. Wrecked bike and a torn ear....don't know about the bird.

I've hit an urban fox; snapped it's neck with the front wheel.....I braked, but as it disappeared towards the front wheel I released and opened the throttle a bit so not to lose the front end. As it was in the road where I lived I carried on and parked the bike in the garage before returning to check my handiwork (didn't want people looking out and thinking I'd taken out their pet cat). It was unmarked and dead; my biggest concern would have been how to kill it if it wasn't dead.

theres a story here..............
:whistle:

[sheight]

i havent really hit anything but the odd bug as well, ad odd swarm of bees! i have however had about 3 mutts run out at me barking their heads off. causing me to swerve to miss em. 2 off them were just wee yappy things too. gave me a hell of a fright each time too. make you want to go round the block, stop and give em a good kicking. this is in 50 k areas. any one else have this?

[Madmax]

2 dogs
1 possum
:shit:

[loosebruce]

A cow, on a farm on me AG200 trying to get the beearch out the gate (absolute mission) when she stopped dead in front of me with me clocking about 50kph flew into the back of her over the handlebars onto her back then into the mud, unhurt i was but the cow stood there looking at me, i knew she was laughing, cow now standing in front of gate turns around and pisses off back into the paddock.

Funny was once through paekakariki one night on the 2fiddy with a chick from work on the back, possum took bike on, possum died, i stayed upright just :blink: , anyhow after we stop i get a clip round the back of the head and the chick on the back scearming at me for killing the poor possum. Funny i thought the possum almost killed us..........

[What?]

Done the cow trick on the farm, several rabbits, a pukeko and a possum. The WORST though, was a swarm of cicadas - couldn't see a bloody thing other than a big green and red mess!

[White trash]

herd of cows ?

Yes I have. Herd of chickens?

A customer of mine is currently having his HD repaired after hitting a fucking moose while touring the States. Luckily for him and his wife, it was a glancing blow, but the FXDX is still pretty second hand.

[georgedubyabush]

A big Hare.
Lent over in a corner it ran across in front then changed it's mind and shot back the way it came. Connected left footpeg and my foot. Felt like I'd punted a rock. Was largely intact so it was bungied on the packrack for dogfood. Had a close call with 2 pigs once.

I nearly hit a hawk while travelling a bit too fast. It took off from some long grass on the side of the road just before I got there. It passed over my left shoulder and clipped my shoulder and helmet. Heart rate increased ever so slightly :eek:

i hope it wasn't on the gravy stroke

[vifferman]

The biggest animal I ever hit was a human bean. Made a freaking mess of the bike, and the bean's leg. And the friggin thing wouldn't stop squealing, "My leg! My Leg! Oh!! Oooh!! Ow!!! My leg!!"

Guess I should've run it over again to put it out of its misery....:blank:

there is a run down old house on maungatautari rd just before arapuni rd that has 2 spaniels - they ALWAYS run out, especially when I am on my push bike. i usually clip out across the one lane bridge and wait for them - to give them a big swift kick in the chops if they get close enough. it's on a cool section of corners too, that are cut into the hill, so the tl sound LOUD through there....

[Lou Girardin]

Friend of mine hit a pig up north.




Took hours to get the bike out of the bull bars.

[marty]

not to mention the pepper spray out of his eyes

Guess I should've run it over again to put it out of its misery....:blank:Biggest thing I've ever hit was a giant wasp (see story in the scooter section about sun, sand and sex) BUT, on a more sombre note, a colleague of mine who's from the Philippines has just gone home to arrange his mothers funeral, after she was run down by a m/cycle. I don't know what happened to the rider.:bye:

[Gasman]

Plus, I forgot to mention that a few days ago I nearly hit a schoolgirl, who walked straight out in front of me. I went around her, and the weird thing is that she was looking straight at me, but I reckon she didn't see me until I almost ran over her foot!!

She obviously was looking for cars and was oblivious to everything else.
