Bike vs Bird - SV650.org

Last night I hit a bird/duck thing that decided to waddle across the road as I was travelling at 60. Swerved to miss but the fooker just kept running at me..

so a burst fairing and blood and feathers on my boot.

Anyway.. luckily I had a spare left side.. So back on the road.

Hey, Magnum
You don't HAVE to fall off every time a bird ( feathered or otherwise ) wanders in front of you!

Oh right. Nice one for controlling it then! At least the bird died

Got home, put duck tape on and got the Mrs to take my spare side in the car to my brothers garage and I followed her there. Changed the fairing and jobs a good'un
