    5 years ago had to dodge a Bambi which ran out into the road (to[s]a[/s]dpool Lane) looked like the poor thing was on ice!

    Hit a Pheasent on the Bilbury road last year they're Big Bird's believe me they hurt!
    Crack my front fairing and left massive claw marks on my screen. :'( :'(

    We could learn a lot from crayons; some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, while others bright, some have weird names, but they all have learned to live together in the same box.”

    I personally haven't hit any wildlife on a bike but..

    We had an instructor who worked with us and he hit a deer on a bandit with 120 miles on it. He didn't have to check if it was dead as he went straight through it!

    Tony at Probike hit a pidgeon/ pheasant can't remember which but it smashed the fairing but also his helmet chipped teeth and a broken nose later!

    >I hit a pheasant some years ago(or it hit me). Cranked over at the time doing about 70. It knocked me off and did £1000 quids worth of plastic and ally on my FJ1200. Needless to say I wasn't happy and neither was the pheasant. :'(
