Title: Re: Bird!... Post by Savage_Rob on 06/06/12 at 15:01:45 I don't recall who it was... I think it was Sluggo but possibly Gitarzan who was hit in the shoulder by a bird (of a smaller variety, like a sparrow). If I remember right, he was doing like 40 or 45 MPH and said it knocked him hard enough to pull his hand free of the bar and left a softball sized bruise. |

Title: Re: Bird!... Post by mpescatori on 06/07/12 at 07:32:07 I was doing... 45-50mph on my BMW when I collided with a magpie. I can only thank my windshield was the tall, cruiser kind AND that it was a full 6mm thick (1/4 in). All I remember was "oh, sh...t" and ducking my head... and THWACK! I feared I was going to careen, but no, good heavy locomotive of a bike... ...good girl... (patpat...) 8-) Whew ! :o |

Title: Re: Bird!... Post by 360k+ on 06/08/12 at 08:51:14 I was riding thru Arkansas a few years ago on a cross country. While on heavily wooded back road, suddenly a hoard of black birds began flying out of the bushes alongside of the road. I was on a big Yamaha Venture and just hunkered down behind the fairing and windshield listening to the thump thump thump... thump... thump thump... This continued for several hundred yards and I remember looking in my rear view to see a wake of dead and wounded birds fluttering on the road behind me. |
