nice. very lucky you stayed upright.

I had a cat go through my lower fairings once on a cbr600, scared the crap out of me and stung me for £150 of new bodywork. Shined up my downpipes a treat though.

Wow...I hit a pigeon in Liverpool City Centre at about 30mph on my old RXS 100...that winded me and nearly took me off the bike....80mph is a totally different kettle of fish.....
