WHAT HAS ATTACKED YOU

[ManDownUnder]

Not on a bike but I was driving a tractor with a big 9metre rack putting some hay into rows and this lamb bolts our from its hiding place in the long grass on the edge of the paddock right in to my two big rotors spinning at a fair old rate.

By the time I make it out to offer my assitance it was pretty messed up, poor little thing, felt pretty bad after that.

hate it when things like that happen. Injury to the innocent... for some reason I feel more sorry for the lamb than I would if I hit a bird (although I feel obliged to put birds out of their misry too if I can... )

Border collies seem genetically predisposed to attacking wheels.
Birds seem to delight in flying between my wheels but no duck issues yet thankfully. Maybe the ducks everyone seems to have problems with have the will without the flying skills to pull it off?
I once ran over a possum on my wee 50cc scoot ( headlight on the blink, no way I'd run one over deliberately on 5"rims! ) It got up and ran away into the darkness with singed hair and bruises.

i was hit by fire works whilst riding up mt eden on the night. little bastards i was sitting on a F@*$en petrol tank.
could find them but really really wish i could.

you can go straight to jail for that.. and you don't pass go and don't collect $200

Hence the reason for leaving a black mark on the road and getting away from them as fast as I could..

Narrowly avoided the odd dog but the biggest 'animal' fright I ever got was a big bumblebee right in the middle of the visor at about 80k. Man what a noise!

mine was similar, cruising along at about 70, i had this big as bee fly into my neck 'THWACK' i actually heard it hit! then to make matters worse it fell down the front of my jacket, straight down onto my chest, 'i'm thinking oh shit, this is gonna hurt' so i can feel the stupid thing crawling around, start shaking my top to try and get it out, it falls down to stomach area and i feel it go absolutely mental, then the inevitable, a nice big bee sting, right on the side of my stomach, so i had a nice big red mark on my throat where it hit, and another one where it stung me!

LOL.... the funniest thing I saw once was a mate on his BB1, we were south of Nelson heading to Chch and there were bees every were.... well my mate then, only wore jeans. Anyway we rode through aswam of the things, he was up frount and had bees hit him in the chest his reaction was to lift his ass of the seat (fuk knows why) so the bees fell on to his seat..... he then sat back down..... LOL sudenly he look right out of control all over the rd.... next min he just stoped right in the middle of the rd jumped off droped his jeans and ran around in circles.
I was laughing so hard I nearly ran the dumbass over, I pulled up after passing him and fell of the bike as I was in stiches laughing.
The poor bastard was not able to sit down for a week he had that many stings on his ass.

two creature incidents in t'uk, first one on my ancient rd200 yam, rabbit at side of road decides to set off just as I'm passin it, straight into the front wheel, rabbit bits and blood everywhere, bugger to clean!!
Second one riding along minding my own business visor half open on a gsx 250, all of a sudden, whack!. Pull up sharpish, look in mirror on bike, a bleedin bat, wedged between visor and helmet , bat blood all down me face, had me worrying for days about rabies!!!.
Tha bat one confused the hell out of me, cos I thought they had really efficient sonar that helped em catch food and stuff!.
Mebbe this one had his switched off!

A hawk - operated by a snake....
Yeah I know....I did leave plenty of time for someone else to say it :spudwhat:

[Pixie]

One day when visiting a certain person in South Auckland it came time to leave,but he was busy with customers - I thought bugger it,started my bike,my girlfriend got on the back,I put the bike into gear...and then a doberman clamped his jaws on my ankle with no intention of letting go.His owner finaly came out and said...''oh,I haven't said you can go yet have I?'' No one left the property without permission and the dog knew that when the bike went into gear they were going.

Hilarious!Sounds like a well trained dog.Do people wishing to leave have to show the dog a document signed by the boss to the effect that leaving was approved?

Apart from the Ubiquitous Dog, the only thing that I have been attacked by on the bike was a Disapproving Mum, many years ago. She disapproved of the hour at which I returned her daughter, and the condition she (the daughter) was returned in.

Now that sounds like an interesting story. The condition of the daughter bit.

Y'know those shops that say "Goods being returned must be unopened and in original packaging and condition". And get shitty if you try to return something that's been opened and unpackaged, and isn't in original condition

Well, her Mum worked on the same principle.

And that's all I'm saying.

Exept that it was always interesting the effect that a blast on the pillion of a big black British twin had on chicks. Something to do with the vibrations I reckon.
