well done for staying on Dan - I hit one a few years back and it took me down...

nasty mess innit?!

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

least it wasnt the devils pidgeon! (pheasant)

their looking for me!

I've had it happen twice to me. Once on way back from hastings it swept down (BANG) into my shoulder week after passed my test and the other more recently. I had cleaned the bike and it was gleaming and it gave me the urge to go for a quick blast. I was gone for 5 mins and got onto an open stretch of dual carriage way and nailed it then out of no where (BANG AGAIN) this time the entire contents of a pigeon were left over me and bike. I didn't know what it was at first. So pulled over and wiped away what i found to be feathers and god knows what else of visor.

rather nice feather theme you have there on that pointy... that Indian feel.

the phesant i hit left all its insides over my jacket!

the smell was disgusting!

did go look at remains of the bird....eyes popped out n everything.

wish it was a pidgeon...would have been not so hard.

What she said.

it was Tim somebloke from Ride andclaimed he hit it at over 160mph. Dont know if he calculated that as a combined collision speed or if he was doing that speed himslef, but he was abroad so its possible.

Broken nose and 2 black eyes, sidepods popped off from the impact but visor maintained its integrity and lid was fine. Pic was funny, bllod on outside = pigeon's and blood on inside = his nose.

Glad your ok in comparison Dan my man. ;)

oh yeah...dan...thanks for being ok with saturday...wouldnt have the new bike without ya help...cheers

I had a pheasant hit me straight on the head last year, and if we hadn't had the top box on I would have been off the back of the bike. Not funny at 60 mph(Honest Officer :wink: ) I had a headache for a couple of days and a sore neck.

The guys riding behind nearly fell off laughing, as apparently the pheasant just exploded :D

he he

i hit it at 80mph on the arm...some how it didnt break....

cant imagin how it would have come out if it hit me head??!!
