I hit a fox

[Rawwr]

I managed to keep it upright, despite the feeling of riding into a brick wall. Have just finishing cleaning the blood and fur off my bike, leathers, gloves, boots and lid. Now I feel sick.

Quick enough to tear a fox in half.

What you should have done is simply ridden around country roads chasing the SCENT of a fox. Not hit the actual fox.

Now I will have to report you.

I had my bullet cam mounted but it wasn't recording - which is probably for the best.

You are meant to keep the tail, you know.

Martin,

What action did you take. Shut the eyes and go straight, or was there evasive action required? Always wondered what to do it this situation.

We had a bull in the middle of the road in Spain last year, but I guess the results would have been a bit different...especially as me mate was on a Red CBR! My plan was feck the bike and run.

Well there were three options:

1) Try and manouevre around it and then risk hitting it with an unsettled bike or;

2) Try and avoid hitting it by braking and then risk hitting it with an unsettled bike or;

3) Keep the bike upright and arrow straight: 50% chance of missing it, 50% chance of hitting it in a stable state.

Seemed the best option.

The quick brown fox burst onto the stealthy GSXR?

Glad you're ok!
