Reply #8 - 06/09/11 at 04:20:33 On the way back from our honeymoon camping, we were dong 75 one way and a hummingbird was doing 75 the other. Didn't even see it. Heard a thump and the inside of the van filled up with pin feathers. The entire body of the bird went through a 1/4 " vent except for the head. It would have taken me right off the bike, I think!

years ago drin home in the cagea phesant flew outta a corn field and got plastered on my wind shield 40 mph road,feathers every where..
i pulled over droolin over thats nite main course..
no such luck he made it to the other side of the road and was runnin between the corn rows..
hate to think if i was on my scoot..

some years up behind the colorado national monument the cotton tails are all over the place makes scootin a real hazard..my thought is to hit em straight on and hope for the best..
havent had to test that theroy yet
