Had a pidgeon on the shoulder on the way home once
That wasnt pheasant



Glad your ok babe

Seems more common than I though....had a seagull take out the front fairing at 80mp on my old ZX10...that was scary, a pheasant is not what I want to meed head on at speed !

Ooh that hand......ouch.

Did your hand stay in that position? It looks ready for self pleasing......

I think he'd have to tighten the grip - considerably

Glad you're OK - could have been nasty if that was in the head.

...i had a pigeon fly out of a hedge and hit me the side of my lid at 120MPH+

Feck me that must be a record bird speed!! I thought Peregrine Falcon was the fastest thing on earth but a pigeon wot does 120. Wow...

[moanthebairns]

you should have done what I done to the pheasant

stick a Daytona up its arse

a lot less painful

[bennyboysvuk]

Next time, duck!

Took a crow in the chest once.

I wasn't going very fast but it got stuck between my arms and flapped about for a few seconds before it managed to escape...

How did that end up for you?

Guy I know had his LHS fairing remove itself around 130 which somewhat upset his balance. His RHS then decided to do the same thing a few seconds later as he tried to climb back onto his seat. That left him doing his best Superman impression as he rolled to a stop with heavily bruised meat and veg.

I took a bee to the knuckle once.

[Mr Snap]

I'll raise you a cicada to the shoulder..

I headbutted a bee at 140 once, fk me even with a helmet on it hurt.

[Wildfire]

Some sort of little hedge row bird to the knee. It flew out of a hedge, made it between the wheel and radiator, bounced off my knee and into my crash bung. I didn't see the outcome, but apparently it sort of blew up in a puff of feathers.

Greenfinches taste of mud when your wearing a Piss pot and one flies into your chin.

I took a blackbird in the helmet/shoulder at about 90 on my old LC years ago......what a mess!

Felt like I'd been shot at by a tennis serving machine, bruised up a treat

I can imagine being hit by a motorbike in the shoulder would sting a bit.
