What have you hit?

[Skyryder]

I went to Paeroa last weekend and managed to hit 235km'h at one stage

So was there a mess or is the 'faster you go the bigger the mess,' an urban legend??

Hit a wood pigeon about a year ago. Smashed my handguard to smithereens. There were lots of feathers and handguard parts on the road but no pigeon.

I have also (in cars so it doesn't count) on two seperate occaisions run into off duty cops.

Narrow narrow escape for me yesterday on Ponsonby road where I was the one who almost because a hood ornament on a farken courier vehicle.
I'd stopped in the turning lane to turn right, and this cock had pulled out behind me to overtake cars in the straight ahead lane on my left, looked in my rearview mirror and all I could see was the tiny courier vehicle filling both mirrors before he swerved back into his lane missing me by what must have been inches.
I hate those farks when they are on the road.

I haven't really hit much - mainly bugs & bees. In the car I got a duck pretty good once - it flew up across the road ahead of me and the car hit with the number plate, a little blood splatter on the windscreen. I've also had a cat tear across the road in front of the car when I was doing 100 - 110 kph (my normal open road cruising speed) - not much I could do but hit it. I never swerved or took evasive action - bad things could have happened if I did.

Many years ago I hit a cow with a truck - fucker ran right in front of me, I braked as hard as I could and scrubbed off a heap of speed, then bowled the fucker. After that it stood there looking at me and chewing its cud.

didnt arse off..... was on a dirt bike... think i was lucky

not to sure about the dog though

My guess - unlucky!

Ran over this bunny not long ago, I tried to resuscitate it but didn't work...

Generally throwing it into a stew will NOT work! It just isn't a valid resuscitation technique.

A few birds, and clipped the tail on a cat that ran out in front of me.
Also removed the bumper of a car that failed to giveway.

Assorted sparrow type birds, a Pukeko, a moth storm in the Waihi gorge one night - that was scary, like flying over the Ruhr in a bomber dodging flak ......a cat, a dog, a Kangaroo and a Skoda!

My now ex-wife, as pillion, hit a covey of quails & a 120kmh wind blast which nearly took her off the back of the bike when I ducked. She had little feathers stuck to the bottom of her visor & chin strap, face like a bull terrier chewing a wasp too.

Wiped out a native wood pidgeon first day on new bike with missus on the back.
Thought it might be an omen...

Then 2 weeks ago, took out a F@@king eagle on the Pahiatua track.
(either that or a Circus approximans)
Bike looked quite cool after the 2nd encounter... sort of like a supersonic dream catcher
