Biker vs Sparrow

[Atlas shrugged]

A biker is riding along a country lane, when a sparrow flies up in front of him. The biker can't do anything and hits the sparrow. As he looks in his rear view mirror, he sees the sparrow lying in the road. Being the kind of guy he is, he stops, picks up the sparrow and takes it home and puts it in a cage, still in a coma. When the sparrow wakes up the following morning, he looks through the bars of the cage and says, "Shit, I must have killed the biker".


Anyone been hit by a bird, guessing it could be bad at speed although incredibly unlucky!

I got hit by somone shrowing a apple out the car in front of me once that was no fun!

Haha nice. Is he ok now?

Watch out for hawks. Big bastards, and they tend to use the road as a runway, ie staying in your path by flying along the road to get airborne.....

Ghost Bullet has speared a sparrow with the foot piece of his side stand.

There are photos on here under March Hare 2008 rally I believe

Totally!

Following a Toyota Congo Bonga Super Delux POS (or whatever they are) with a Island family in it. The kids finish their Brunch Bars and Grain Waves and fling the empty packets out the window at me as I'm looking along the side of the Bongo to pass!

Needless to say, I wound the bike up to 18,000rpm when I passed them, couldn't pluck the courage to flip the birdie nor was it appropriate.

Not happy when I got back home and a chip packet was caught in the radiator.

Keep NZ green

I used to always try to hit birds on the road because I know they always get out of the way in time.
One time it didn't.

I once was on a ride and following another biker then I saw this sparrow fly into the rear wheel of her ZZR instantly saw the head flying off then 5 seconds later the body went splat with force onto the ground. Gruesome!

Lol, I'm sure squid will be in this thread at some point... He was hit by a bird in the shoulder yesterday.

I've been hit on the hand by a bird... knuckles and fingers were bruised and sore for a couple of days and I had to pull out bits and pieces of it from the vents the bird exploded into a cloud of feathers, poor thing, although it was impressive!

Had a bird hit me when I was doing about 130ish.. Big gauge down the inside of my leather pants about mid thigh.. Dont know what happened to the bird, dont care - was no mess to clean up on the harley (other than the oil it proceeded to spit everywhere about an hour later!)..
