    Hmmmmm...dog (survived), cat (didn't), sparow (ditto), Pukeko (he was fucked as well),and last weekend, after ambling down the road home at 90k, looking for errant roos and not seeing any, thought, fuck it and wicked up the 900, when, holy shit, a roo bounded out of the undergrowth and across the road right in front of me, cleared him by a metre or two......Needless to say, I ambled home for the remainder, eyes even more alert.....

    Where did it come from and how did it manage to stay on your tank?

    5:30am coming back from Lake Ferry in low fog, just light. Driving the old man's work van (bullbars - real ones). Caught the f*cker square on the side of the head - just about took it off! Long grass on the side of the road made sure of a soft landing for the carcass. Don't care where ot came from just know where it went - my gut.

    The only thing that ever attacked me on a bike was one of our bulls when I was 10. Bastard hit me from the side and cracked two of my ribs and smashed up my Kawasaki G7T.

    When I had a little TS125 I used to always ride home for lunch. This particular day I had my sister on the back and on the way back to work I saw my old school mates walking down the road so I waved out instead of watching where I was going. At that moment a big black labrador wandered out onto the road and we rode straight over it. If it weren't for my big sister(she's much bigger than me) on the back I would have canned off for sure.
    I have run over a possum on my old GSXR400 and a huge hare on my current bike. Dont know how I kept it upright both times as they were in mid-corner.
    Have been hit by birds at speed and had several bee stings.

    I have been hit several times in the last few weeks, mostly really hard and in the good ol' petrol tank!...by the fuel price increases...fockers.

    I have not yet cleaned anything up with myself or the bike, did come round a corner in whitford nice and low at night only to have a rabbit run right in front of me. Grabbed a handfull of right (no go) and just managed to avoid the fool.

    Had an absolute pearler in the cage,

    Was heading to Mt Ruapehu for some snow boarding with my brother and two cousins.
    Heading down a straight length of road at about 110kph (Nissan 200sx modded) and went past a farmer working on a fence. As I was approaching i saw he had a dog on the back of the ute.
    SOmehow or other, i will never understand how, the little prick managed to jump off, run AROUND the ute and out into the road all in the time it took me to cover about something aorund 20/30m.
    I caught it outa my peripheral vision, lead the car right in a semi feint while decelerating as the stupid mutt decided to try bite my wheel, got around the dog, and was now using both sides of the road (already checked for oncoming vehicles) and had semi lost the back end due to gravel on the side of the road. Felt it going and started to feather the throttle, kept it semi-drifting into a striaght line before commenting that the dog must have some shorter whiskers.
    MMMmm...DRIFT.

    I sincerely hope that i dont clean an animal up on the bike...or my head.

    Best I ever heard was a mate, riding in Oz, had a kangaroo jump onto the harley with him (You have to be a bit thick to jump on a harley, and kangaroos are as ozzie as it comes)

    Worst I ever had was some little busstids on the back of a ute throw a brick at me, on the fxr. Hit me clean in the chest, and I nearly assed it, winded, and really angry, but too stuffed to do anything about it!!

    Otherwise Missed a bunny by like 2 centimetres from my left peg at 200 odd, missed a dog by a hairs breadth at 2 am on the way from wanganui to marton, at stupid speeds again, on a right hander, downhill. This bloody dog just pops up...
    Boyd hh er Suzuki are my heroes!
    The best deals, all the time!
