Re: Anyone ever hit a bird?
 
Last week i had a big f*ck off bird of some description fly under my frame while doing 60mph, scared the crap out of me.
It come at me from 90 degrees to the bike and i thought it was gonna hit my front wheel, but then flew out the other side somehow.
Hope thats my final encounter with the birds of the flapping variety.

Yep been hit in the chest by one doing national speedlimit speeds, luckily it was only a small one and bounced off without too much impact.

I know SpeedyClaire hit a pheasant in face I believe, she wasn't so lucky :-(
