I thought I ran over a bird one time. I swear it flew up into the lower fairing. I even heard something hit, but I never found anything.

I ran over the sliding bike of a DumBass Squid Stunter wannabe... He felt like he had to show me and my Kat up by doing a wheelie next to me on a highway... then a stoppie which he took over the top... right in front of me maybe 10 feet, at about 45 MPH... sheeees. So I gunned it right up and over his sliding piece of ... cause I couldn't do anything else.
Have I said how much I HATE STUNTING SQUIDS!!! I guess I just did...2006 Black N Gold Katana 750.

I can't say that I initiated the encounter, but I had a robin smack me upside the head while I was riding and it, somehow, got stuck in between my helmet and visor (which was up). It was flapping around for a couple of seconds before it shook itself lose and flew away."The Lord will be awesome to them, for He will reduce to nothing all the gods of the earth; people shall worship Him, each one from his place, indeed all the shores of the nations." - Zeph. 2:11

Before I realized the virtues of wearing proper gear, I was wearing those sandals with heavy soles and toe caps. It was late at night and a large jack rabbit was eyeballing me from the side of the road just within the halo of my lights. I was doing 85 mph. I knew he was going to "kamikaze" me, and when he did, I timed the point of unavoidable impact and kicked him with the heel of my sandal and sent him flying. Otherwise, he would have probably flipped me.
The dead dog post cracked me up!

I've been lucky: the only thing I've hit on the road was a kangaroo (at low speed). The random little bastage jumped back AT me as I idled slowly around him at maybe 5 mph. Didn't knock me over or do any discernable damage to my bike, but I felt him hit my leg so I know we made contact.
Had a chance to hit another on the way home from an all-day ride on Friday, but I gave this one lots of room (have I mentioned how much I LOVE the big hi-beam lights on the Kat yet? I saw him with plenty of time to stop from 70mph). He just stood there blinking back at me...and really didn't like my new Compact Nautilus horn

I've hit 200Km/h
Does that count for anything?
Things I have missed while riding... my wife's curfew
Almost ate some bumper on my DR350 when doing a shoulder check while merging onto the Knight street bridge, almost had to change my pants after!

A bee, right near the crotch area.... sumonabeech that hurt...
For some reason I have encountered quite a few bees around my bike... I have no clue why they like the R1 so much... maybe it's the paint job...
And one freshly killed skunk... My bike stank for a week afterwards...

Countless cracks and potholes;
Few large bugs off the visor or sunglases;
Worse was bird poo. Visor was open just enough for a sloppy wet one to hit me in the face (cheek) as I merged onto a highway. Wasn't too far from home and had nothing to wipe it so continued on. Managed to wipe some off with my glove but some ran down my face and neck. Had an earthy smell. Thankfully it wasn't a hole-in-one. :-p2004 GSX750F
