First pheasant of the new hunting season? - SV650.org

03-10-07, 06:23 PM

Do I win? Do I get a prize?

Trundling along down a fave strech of road on the way back home, it's an odd one, it's the one stretch that tends to provoke head shakes and I'm not quite sure why, it's a little bumpy but not too bumpy, high speed, and gentle right hander. Anyway, long story short, concentrating hard, perhaps a bit of trying to push limits, and perhaps a bit of concentrating more on the handling than surroundings, spotted Big Bird on the other side of the road and headed my way.

Chose not to alter my line, knowing pheasants curious ability to home in on any chosen escape vector, and aware of that stretch of road not taking too kindly to anything other than smooth input.

And low and behold, it ran right into me, big smack from the front, briefest of checks saw the mirrors filled with an explosion of feathers, followed by very cautious end to the commute.

Truth be told, I was a little dissapointed to find my only spoils of the war were a feather glued on (best not to think too much about what was the glue eh?) to a fork leg

So, prizes? Adolation? Beer/drugs?

Someone at our office had the cheek to put in an hours O/T claim and state the reason as 'Attacked by a pheasant whilst on duty"

FFS!

You can't claim to be a true pheasant killer until you have totally destroyed one with your head at 60mph (officer!) and ended up with whiplash and concussion!

I thought it was made illegal to kill peasants after Watt Tylers revolt.

I heard of one guy who wa hit full whack into this chest. Broke a couple a ribs.
Only because it knowkced him off his bike!
Apparently it flew directly at him.
Me thinks the pheasant was a victim of the looming effect
