Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayte! That looks painful. I didn't even know pukekos could fly, never seen one airborne before. I'm not going to be a meanie and say HTFU, I hope you're getting some TLC for that nose.
I dread the day that anything like that happens to me cos at only 57kg it would prolly knock me clean off my bike!
I lahk to moove eet moove eet...

Oowww dude.
But yeah, not real bright your average pukeko. I had one cross the road 50ft in front of me, then turn around and lauch itself at my front wheel. The front disc cut it in half, most of it hit my right shin and blew my foot off the peg.
Wasn't a good day for birds, that. I caught a blackbird in the chest an hour later. No damage from there, but when I came around a corner at a respectable clip later that evening and found a hawk in the middle of the road I did start to wonder wtf was going on. The hawk was a bit smarter however, missed me by a couple of metres.

woah... "WHEN BIRDS ATTACK!!!"
hope you're okay...
once we had a bird dive bomb the windscreen of our car when we were going back from Peitersburg to Johannesburg when I was away in december... made a HELL of a noise, luckily no cracked windscreen coz it was a rental... but i assume the poor sparrow died from a broken everything on impact... I sure do hope it did...

So did the impact break your nose - or was it just blood being shot in and up through the air ducts?
Took a sparrow out with my shoulder yesterday - glad it wasn't a magpie!

Bad shit. I'm sitting here thinking about whether the fit of your helmet may be a bit too loose...

My helmet is 6 months old brought from my local shop of glen tanner,now if these guys dont no how to pick the right size for ya well. It is perfect have you ever hit a duck or pokeko in your cage, i hit one about 5 years ago and i was going about 30ks slower and when it hit my window i thought it was going to land on my lap. You get an impact right there i reckon you would move any helmet dont you think
Homo Sapiens Vulgaris
Well, it is a fairly large bird...
Just wondering - haven't hit anything that size myself. Not on the bike, not in the cage. Just contemplating whether it's optimal that your nose took the brunt of the impact...
Good thing your neck was strong enough!

True, I reckon you got off with a fair trade, could've been much worse and says a lot for the strength of your visor. Hit one in the cage at 100 ish and pushed the airdam back about 6 inches. Helluva bang. Dont want a repeat on the bike, still better a pukeko than a goat etc.
Hardcore Biker
hell yeah i dont no how i stayed on not being able to see once impact

Freaky feeling that. I had a pea gravel deflect through a crack in my visor and hit me in the eye, hurt like hell and the other eye started watering instantly, couldn't see, doing 120 ish getting onto the North Western Motorway from the Southern. Thought I was toast, bet you did too.
