You know how pigeons usually fly out of the way just a few picoseconds before you hit them?
Last night, one of the fat buggers didn't.
Clipped the nearside front fairing and smashed into the clutch level, crushing my poor little fingers behind it. I was making progress at the time and the impact was fairly violent.
I honestly thought I'd broken my middle fingers, I was in so much pain. I pulled over and tried to take my glove off but it was just too painful. Got home using 2nd, 3rd, 4th and clutchless shifting and removed my glove to find my middles fingers had swollen quite a bit.
Not so bad this morning but still smarts a bit.
Damn birds.

Hurts like hell doesn't it!
Few years ago I was riding along when I spotted this crow flying from my right across the field.
He was heading in the same direction but kind of across the road at 45 degrees
He ended up hitting me in the ribs just under my right arm.
JEEZZZ did that hurt!!!
huge bruise, knocked the stuffing right out of me and didn't do the crow much good either

As mentioned on a similar post, while biking I have hit...
Sparrow in the visor
Duck on the knee cap
Rabbit on the foot while cornering
And an old man on the front of my fairing.
But I wanna make mention of my pal Jono... he's a tiny bloke, makes his R6 look like a Pan-European. This guy could be a jockey on anorexic horses...
So when a sparrow caught him in the chest it was bad. Doing an undisclosed speed the bird flew into him and I don't know how he stayed on the bike or the bike stayed on the road...
Also my ex boss rammed his Blade into a deer. Damn that was funny. Still is. I'm gonna text him and remind him how funny it is

a few months ago me and my mate were going to pick some crash bars up for my bmw gs, we gradually got lost and ended up going down a country lane with allotments down either side. We were doing a fairly normal speed when a chicken decided to cross in front of my mate, nearly cleaning him out. Although it wasnt funny, i nearly fell off my bike laughing. it just looked so funny, the chicked just waddled off as though it had done nothing.... puts another meaning into "why did the cjicken cross the road". we still laugh about it now
Hi two-wheeled hunterz !
Two friends of mine were travelling scenery roads in austria,
when Bambi came hopping out of the woods,on the road,
and was hit badly by the first bike.
The second bike hit the poor (and dead) animal
while it was doing pirouettes in mid-air.....
Both were kind of experienced riders and stayed upright,
although the fairings of the blades were cracked,
smeared with brownish fluid (dried blood),
and hairs were sticking out in the gaps between fairing panels...
Cheers,
Benni
