Owch!

I've hit a cat before or rather a cat ran into the wheel of my DR125 - I had to send someone back to make sure it was
dead coz i couldn't do it

5 years ago had to dodge a Bambi :o which ran out into the road (toadpool 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. :'( :'(

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. :'(

You know, the amount of times I've *just* missed birds, usually pigeons and thought "wow, they're good at dodging me!" but now I've heard you guys hitting them I'm certain to obliterate one very soon!

The biggest thing I've hit is a bug the size of a wallet the spewed across my visor and conjealed into some kind of concrete mix!
