Hmmm.. Never had this before.

Just out for a bit of a ride today, was following a car when all of a sudden my visor was coverd with some sort of stuff.
I quickly tried to wipe it off but it only smeared over the visor. Took me a few seconds to figure out it was windscreen wiper fluid!
By that time I had another shot of it. Would have thought it would come right off but it only made a mess.
Not intentional from the driver, just one of those things.
Over the years I have seen some strange things coming from the forward vehicle, ciggys, coke cans and once even a couch from the guys trailer.

What sort of weird and wonderful things have you had to avoid in your travels?

[yod]

just bugs in me teeth, mostly

Flying cows shit !

I Hate it when that happens. The most usual time is first thing in the morning, when the car you are following turns a corner and the driver finds they are headed into the early morning sun and can't see. You need to be a bit careful and aware of this, and not follow too closely.
Sometimes though, it's very hard to avoid. Car drivers are mental and unpredictable.

Many moons ago a hubcap came off an oncoming truck, bounced once and then hit the front of the cage I was driving... I guess I was kinda lucky that it didn't bounce very high otherwise it may have come through the windscreen.

long time ago in a place far far away, an Ironing board ( tied up with bungees to the roofrack of an oncoming car) came undone and took off bouncing along on the open road.
It bounced very unpredictably and violently, but miraclously missed everything and everybody....(Was on a bike)

Whole sheet of plywood ! It took off and swung at me all demented stylez.

i was driving down with me mate in his car to go bmxing and the whole bike rack on the back of the car sheared and the 2 bikes on it hit the road at 100ks, nearly caused a huge crash. the frames n shit were ruined... thank god for insurance

I've been cruising along and a 4WD travelling in the opposite direction had a wheel come off - and the wheel pass the 4WD at speed and roll toward me - missed but rather strange.

Stranger is this has happened twice!

Plus I was following a caravan once (in my car with my family) on the open road and I heard a noise and started slowing down - my wife asked why and I said -that caravan has a stuffed wheel bearing - seconds latter the wheel smokes, wobbles and flies off. Big panic stop all around. All were safe.

And that reminds me of the time I saw a caravan get the wobbles in a Nor Wester and fish tail off the road into a ditch!

And this one time at band camp......

[portokiwi]

yes cow shit from trucks

[alanzs]

I was behind one of those sheep transport trucks and I am sure the shit coming out of the truck wasn't windshield wiper fluid....

I've had a bird hit me on the shoulder at 130mph. It covered my passenger in bits of flesh and bone. Very funny..

[madbikeboy]

I hate cagers and fucking cigerette butts. This one bitch flicked one and it landed in my open neck. Once I stopped and pulled burning butt out of my shirt and jacket, I raced after her and tossed it back in her stinking car (screaming like a demented moron, which I clearly was). If I was thinking more clearly, I should have wrapped it in a brick and tossed it back through her fucking windcreen.

I think I need my happy pills.

[hellkat]

Firecrackers.
Nice!

Fuckin' schoolkids in London, standing on the street corner in Battersea whilst I was riding along with Anita on the back (she was only about 14 at the time) ... the little shits threw a firework at me, one of them banger things.

If I had been going 5kph faster, it woulda landed inside my jacket.

I hollered at them, but they scarpered around the corner before I managed to offload her safely. I sent her running round the council estate they had disappeared onto to see if she could find them, and I searched in the back-streets. No chance.

Fuckers
