The usual assortment of debris and pot holes from hell; dodged some wildlife, hit a pre-smoked porkupine but by far the worst was the diesel bath I took late one night. It's late and cold and I'm hauling *** home when I pull in behind a truck on the highway - truck appeared to be smoking a bit but after a few seconds I realized he was spewing liquid; turned out to be diesel. Got home 15 mins later and spent a few hrs cleaning up.

Once I hit a 400 pound pig. You read right, a breeding pig, seemed more like a pink cow really!!!
Those here from KP will still remmember this I guess

The night after I bought my bike I had only one helmet no plates insurance or license and I convinced my gf to go on a night ride with me so she could see what it was like. I kept telling her how fun it was and safe. Not even 5 minutes into the night ride on a country road a deer ran infront of us within inches. By the time I attempted to stop he was already across the road. I slowed down and told her I was sorry and I asked if she seen how big that buck was and she replied " what buck? I had my eyes closed" lol. I haven't hit anything unusual yet.
