I'm covered in splashed pigeon. So's the bike...

It hit just near the bottom of the fairing and then piled into the front of the engine and radiator. Guts splashed up under the front screen and covered my visor...

Nice.

Currently picking pigeon tubes of my gear linkage...

I guess I'll see how well the specialist cleaner stuff works on my textile jacket. Bought it with the jacket a couple of years back and never had to use it.

One splashed pigeon goes a long way...

When I went out to take a closer look at lunchtime there was a big cloud of flies buzzing around the bike. I can't believe how much blood comes out of one ickle pigeon.

I'm particularly taken with the blood spatter inside the fairing and screen.

Yet to find the beak...

The family of the pigeon will be suing you for millions.
