The worst part was that we were stopped on the side of the road that was covered in white birds in front of us, stupid me says to my riding buddy "I wouldn't worry, they are pretty good at moving before you hit them". Then I got on the throttle way too hard.

Hilarious. Turtle in the apex of a corner with my front tire.

Riding a country road in Michigan at dusk, I came up to what I thought was a bit of fog... Turned out to be a huge swarm of bugs. I just tucked a bit and headed in...about 30 yards in I felt something hit my shoulder, them my face and everything went dark. I slowley pulled off the road and removed my helmet. Just like a cartoon, I had a bat,wings extended splattered across my fullface helmet.

So far...just a giant bug to the throat. It hurt.

Leon has run over an alligator.

I have hit a buzzard,straight into my chest, shoulder area. I was wearing a JR mesh jacket. Blood and guts and feathers everywhere, and I had the biggest bruise ever.

It looks so weird when you do hit one.

Birds... pppssssshhhhhaaaaa whatever, talk to me when you hit them on a regular basis. I even had one fly through my car

The rest, you haven't lived until you've played road-kill tag

Ooo... I somehow ripped out one of my sprinkler thingys in my yard a few months ago... I think it got caught on the lower fairing somehow... Had a nice fountain out there for a couple days until the HOA fixed it...
