Cheeky bastard catching a free ride!!

Free?....it cost him the ultimate price....

Right in the face in not a good place to collect things. If you hit them with the front wheel/forks while dead upright though you'd be amazed how easy it is to get straight through just about anything that isn't made of metal. Seagulll, sheep... with a touch of throttle you'll just cut them in two like they're not even there.

Makes a bit of a mess though...

I have seen the result of GSX1100 (big heavy solid old school) versus sheep, and high speed GSX hitting a sheep sheep loses cut it half, getting the green staining from what the sheep had been eating off the engine is the bit that proved to be impossable, nothing we tryed would clean it off. The sheep did alter the shape of the forks, glad it was a friend of mine in front of me on that ride that found the sheep not me!!!!

I use to do a lot of night riding so have hit a few possums, I am sure they are made of concrete as they will lift a bike wheel off the road and then get up and run away. I have also thrown one at a friend of mine. He was following my tailight as I had the better headlight (GSX1135 with 150 watt bulb) when I clipped one with the front wheel. This flicked it quite high up into the air behind me and next second it entered the top of the headlight beam of my friend behind me and landed square in front of him to be run over again. He thought it was the funnest possum he had ever seen legs spread wide trying to fly, quickley didn't think it was so funny when he realised where it was going to land.

A little CRC cleans that shit right off. It smells terrible for longing than you can imagine though.

Suzuki's must be made of lesser stuff. The VFR cleaned up at ~100km/h with nary a sight of bending metal!

They are tough little cunts, it's hard enough to kill them with a gun.

You've really gotta try hard to fuck a possum up. They are made of unobtainoum/ magical fibre. They will not die short of a concerted effort with a serious firearm.

If you have one, use it!!!

A pig would be the worst animal to hit, with any vehicle. There's nothing soft about them. I have seen a light truck that was tipped over by a wild pig going under the front on the Mangakino rd. Broke the front axle U bolts.

A horse got hit at the North end of Oamaru 20 odd years ago by 4 cars.All looked in bad shape.It got up after going over the first bonnet and went over a second one before being hit 2 more times while on the ground.
Off topic a xr250 doing a runner at night with no lights got rear ended by a black and white MOT car.It wrecked the v3000 and only broke the bike chain.Not something you see every day.Rider was ok he tryed to run away on foot afterwards.(Again Oamaru)

I hit a sparrow with the arm on my RV mirror once, it spun around and around the mirror arm while disintergrating. I could not believe such a small animal could produce such a huge quantity of blood and guts and spray it so far. My whole upper body, including visor was covered - stunk as well.

Did they get the pigs motorcycle out from under the truck?
