I had to run over fallen tree one time.... I was on my way to work a few months ago going over the mountain on Old Fort Rd. Come around a corner and there's an entire tree laying across the road. Kinda ironic, right as I was coming up to it, there was a guy on a GSX-R coming the other way that was in the same spot I was..... figuring out how to get over the tree. Luckily the tree was tapered and the thinner part was laying across my lane, so I pull over to the right and stop, and he comes over in my lane and runs over the tree first, then I ran over it (bump - bump). Luckily it was a low speed thing

They had it cleaned up by the time I went home from work, but you can see what was left of the tree off to the left. It was across the entire road earlier, branches and all




Other things I've ran over or almost/did hit

-Hit a plastic lawn chair with my foot on the highway, didn't feel good
-Almost hit a small BBQ grill on my way down to Miami
-Hit a medium sized dog with my foot at about 40 mph (stupid dog ran out in front of me every damn day)
-Hit a large dog that was already dead, about size of a grown german shepherd. I was doing about 70 mph, front of bike went airborn when I hit, and my buddy behind me said it was absolutely disgusting, lol
-Almost hit a little tiny dog that ran out in the road
-Almost hit a bunch of metal folding chairs that fell off a trailer in front of me... had to do the slalom through the scattered chairs, hahah

Been hit in the head (helmet) with a few cardboard boxes too
