Bike vs. Deer

[Madmax]

2 dogs
1 possum

[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 , 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!

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.

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

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....

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?

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....

Friend of mine hit a pig up north.




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

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.

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.
