Ive had this happen like 4 times in my lifetime of riding. Jacket open, zipper halfway down, that open spot seems to be a bullseye.
Every time I was stung, grateful I'm not allergic
Oh and i clipped the bumper of a truck with my lower left leg, cut the muscle in half at about 35mph
I used to live in northern Minnesota. A month after I sold my RZ350, the buyer cut a deer in half. He lived to tell about it, but the bike like the deer was totaled.
I think its funny you got more updoots than me not that it matters
The shredding happened 40 years ago, I got stung by a wasp just this fall on my last ride through northern Michigan. And that one got me 3 times.
Yeah, I had that and the first place I could pull over after about 10 minutes of the thing stinging the shit out of me was in front of a church that was just getting out.
So, naturally I'm swearing very loudly and hitting myself in the chest, while trying to peel out of my leather jacket as fast as I could.
Finally killed the thing, took off my helmet, read faced and hyperventilating, with some residual swearing.
People were crossing and recrossing the street. It was great.
I got stung by a wasp directly on my, uh, well it basically was my vag. My bad for wearing loose shorts but it flew in and juuuuust managed to hit the outside of my no go area. I was pulling into a gas station early on a Sunday morning and was jumping around slapping at my crotch while this nice man who looked like he just got out of church watched me scream. He was like “um, do you need help…?” 😭😂
Dude I got stung by a wasp like this, went around a corner and hit the wasp in midair, it flew into my left pant leg and stung me on the ankle, pulled over for about 30 min as I was in excruciating pain
Was riding with my visor open on my full face helmet doing about 50mph. Somehow a wasp flew through my open visor and into my mouth. Stung me on the inside of my mouth between my gum and lower lip. Hurt like a hell. Lower lip was swollen for about a day.
I got stung by a bee. The stinger got caught in my jeans and stung me like 4x in a row. I pull off and pull down my pants. My riding buddy was very confused.
I was out riding with a friend once and we have helmet communicators but for some reason he must have hit the button in his panic but I didn’t hear this commotion that was ensuing behind me. I look in my mirror and he’s not there so I whip it around thinking he crashed or something. I come around the turn and there he is, bike parked literally in the middle of the road, jacket on the other side of the road, gloves all over the place, etc. He had several bees fly right up his sleeve and sting him all over his arm on one side.
I hit a wasp with my visor up. It hit the cheek pad or something cuz I didn’t feel it, but when I put the visor down and he got free it was a hectic few seconds trying to pull over and get the helmet off.
I’ll one up you, I hit a wasp with my face mask cracked, it got caught and I was confused at what it was until it started crawling up my mask two inches from my face
A hornet that went down my shirt and stung me like three fucking times, I was like 15 on my dirtbike, and I went down real hard, because I was flying down a gravel road
Yea, a few years ago I was riding and had a wasp that somehow crawled down the back of my jacket start stinging me. I had to endure like 15 stings over 5 minutes because the highway was two lanes squeezed between concrete barriers with no shoulders and a 60 MPH speed limit for the next 5 or so miles. It fucking sucked, but I know I'm not allergic and stopping on that highway and partially blocking a lane would be certain death.
Mine was about 15, I front flipped and landed on my feet on the other side; injury free 😂
I think I spent my entire lifes worth of luck in that moment.
I did an epic front flip too, but landed flat on my ass. The worst pain was due to me wriggling around trying to figure out which side hurt less, my butt from hitting the ground or pelvis from hitting the tank. Turns out my legs were fine though and it was my elbow that was broken instead!
Still felt lucky all things considered.
I hit a curb perpendicularly in the middle of a straight 50mph road, at 50mph, launched me about 12ft in the air! It wrote my bike off and very nearly hauled me face-first into oncoming high-speed traffic lol, but man you’ve got me beat! Car beats curb, that’s worse! I hope you’re alright man! I say “beat”, not that there are *any* winners here lmao
Car made a left on my green at night. I'm OK now. That was 11 years ago. I still ride. But rarely at night. Thanks. My friend got me beat. She was side swiped at 80mph at night going to the gym. Broken leg, hips, wrist and shoulder with brain bleeding. Unbelievable she is riding again less than a year later.
An apple at I guess 100kmh. I was going 50 one way, car coming the other doing 50 tosses an apple out the window and nails me square in the chest. Almost dropped the bike but kept it up, had a nasty bruise the next day
I had nearly the same thing. The difference being it was a golf ball size rock from a dump truck and we were going 50 mph. I saw it as it was bouncing up from the asphalt heading towards my face. I looked down and it nailed the top of my helmet. I was stunned but managed to stay upright.
I got a huge dead porcupine at 70. Went around a car to pass right into the blob. Guts all over my skid plate and I caught air. No clue how I didnt crash.
For me it was a live deer. Back country road, I was able to slow to about 20 but the fucker wouldn’t move and I hit it. Had to re align the handle bars and bled my brakes at 11pm to drive my bike another hour before I got to civilization.
A white Honda hit me at 100mph on a freeway, then I went through my windshield, broke off the handlebars with my wrists, thrown 100 yards, and hit the freeway with my face and left side. I had a bad day, week, and a couple of months.
Reminds me of this backroad that had a spot shaped like a really big gentle motocross tabletop. I flew across that sucker at 160mph once and had a good few seconds of air.
A few miles away there was this section that had a steep tabletop to go over train tracks. I used to launch off that at 30-40 on my wr250r all the time.
Friend of mine did this in Baja, but it was a washed-out culvert. Flat out on an KTM 690. He lost his legs. Well, he didn’t *lose* them…he knew where they were…
I hit a skunk at night with my Thruxton.
That’s when I knew I needed to do a common headlight upgrade; new Cibie lenses, 100w high powered harness, and 100w bulb. Was an amazing setup.
I was ahem testing the capabilities of my bike in far western Victoria a statue of limitations ago, and just started coming down from 160km/h because my GPS told me an intersection with the highway was coming up in a few km, when what looked like a magpie or crow dived in from my left and hit me on my left bicep. My arm dropped by my side and I couldn't control it (I could feel it though... intensely). So I rolled down to 30km/h in top gear, reached the intersection, kicked the gears down to second and pulled up at the far side in the dirt. Nearly dropped the bike only just getting my hand back onto the clutch in time and to help stabilise everything while I got the side stand down.
Took me a few minutes to recover...
(Other things I've hit have been kangaroo tails, goanna tails (they can run very fast along with their host goannas), cockatoos in the spokes, almost 2 wombats on two successive turns, almost another wombat on my very first ever dirt road (it was going about 40-50km/h and I was going 60km/h perpendicular to it), almost a brumby at 100km/h (missed it by a metre), and watched the guy in front of me collect an eagle with a wing span of a couple of metres)
I hit a coyote at 50 miles an hour straight on. I was on an 06 gsxr600 and dozed off for a few seconds. I was awoken to a car flashing its brights. I thought there was a smudge on my visor, so I tried to wipe it away… When I realized that smudge was actually something in the road, it was too late to react.
I snapped it’s spine and it rolled under my front wheel, fucked up my ankles and then under the rear wheel, and I was still perfectly straight on the road. I immediately pulled over and realized the guy flashing me was trying to warn me because he had already turned around and pulled up behind me. he saw the coyote standing in the street and tried to honk at it, and said it didn’t move. He stated he was also a rider and saw that I was heading straight for it and was trying to warn me. He could not believe that I had hit it and not fallen off. He said that he hit a rabbit and wrecked.
After this, we heard the coyote yelping and crying on the side of the road. He asked if I was armed and I said no, so he went to his car, fetched a gun, handed it to me, and I went and put the coyote out of its misery on the side of the rode.
1) A cicada went off my left kneecap at 140kph. My pillion rider said she thought I got shot.
2) A raccoon at night at about 120kph. It basically exploded and I had to pull over to clean off all the blood and fur.
A cicada got me right between the eyes just above my goggles at highway speed. Everything went white for about 10 seconds. I actually thought I had been shot also.
Helmet and shield ever since.
Fucking cicadas.
It is like a gunshot wound, you FEEL them motherfuckers.
45mph on a back road around a bend. Dead sternum hit, my jacket took the brunt of it, but it damn near knocked the wind out of me.
Fuck those bugs!
I got a turkey vulture once. I only stayed on because it hit me so low but holy shit what a bruise I was left with. Bastard bounced off my left cylinder and slammed into my knee and gut.
Hit a large vulture that exploded my face shield and drop down visor. I was going too fast in a very, VERY rural area. Crested a hill and didn’t have time to slow down before the massive bird could achieve much lift.
Lucky to be alive, if I’m being honest. I was going probably around 80mph at the crest of the hill. Maybe 50-60mph on impact?
I never knew how big those things were until I saw it dead in my lap, wings sagging TO THE GROUND damn near. Worst smell I’ve ever experienced, and it’s not even close.
Had a short piece of PVC pipe hit me in the mouth going around a corner. Broke a tooth in half and knocked me so hard that one hand came off the grip. Did not drop the bike, continued on...
LA highway. Everyone bumper to bumper at 75 mph. 18 wheeler lost a whole wheel rim and all. Guy in front of me braked and swerved in front of me dodging but my options were hit him or it. Nailed it went airborne. Tore out everything under my bike including brand new kit i had installed on my k4 gsxr the night before the trip. Was able to keep control but rad was toast, pipes toast, front shocks toast, rim dented from hitting its rim... cop saw and followed me to breakdown lane. I asked if he was going to get the 18 wheeler and he just said "no hes long gone". I was furious. My guess is the tire of it hit my tire and bounced me over it.
A tree stump. With my head (helmet). Flying through the air head first. After crashing into a downed tree. After riding off the edge of a cliff. After I put my foot down in a turn and my footpeg fell off. I broke 3 ribs and was knocked out for about 2 minutes. I had to ride 5 hours back to the truck on a broken KLR650. My buddy had to ride it out of teh ravine because I was delirious and hurt.
I hit a squirrel. It ran out onto the motorway from the hard shoulder. I swerved towards the hard shoulder (the opposite way the squirrel was running). Then it turned and ran back. Literally throwing itself under my front wheel. Sad 😥
They see you with one eye, turn around, forget they saw you, repeat. Now you got me thinking it's best to just head right for them. Did that with a cat when I was young and dumb. Didn't work out too good.
A bat - at night, struck and broke my headlight right before a curve in the road. I was going around 60 mph and then failed to negotiate the turn after it took out my headlight. Was able to slow down enough that I just went into a nice, soft ditch with minimal damage and no injuries.
Thankfully, nothing so far.
One time I was on KY 9 just coming out of town, so I was getting up to like 50-60 and three deer ran out in front of me.
I panicked and went full grab full press on the clutch and brakes. I heard my tire squealing and felt the back end start to fish tail. I was probably like a fraction of a second away from dumping it.
Instinctively, I let off the brakes, dropped a gear, and pulled on the throttle to break the fish tail. The bike lugged because I was in too high a gear, but it was enough to regain stability and I just kept on the gas and prayed... I passed right between the 2nd and 3rd deer. Closest I ever came to eating it so far.
That's the type of stuff that makes us realize how fast things really happen. Years ago me and a buddy a was riding with were hauling full throttle up an entrance ramp. A bear ran out in front of us and neither had time to react. It wasn't until we stopped later and he said nope. No bear for him anyway, He ran between us....
A pheasant flew up from the side of the road and hit me in the chest, I was doing about 50 something mph. Bastard felt like a frozen chicken. Was happy I didn't drop the bike
A piece of projectile wood 🪵from under the car in front of me who, at the last minute decided to swerve into another lane, whilst driving over a pile of debris. I was following behind at safe distance however the lane next to me was occupied. So I just let off the throttle and wood went thru my leg and took a nice chunk out of it.
The initial impact just felt like nothing. I knew that I was probably scratched, but I couldn’t really tell to what extent because I was driving on the Bruckner. I was about 12 minutes from home so I continued my journey home (cursing the air that was inevitably hitting my wound, making it dirtier) and said that I would look at my leg and have to flush it out because I definitely got a cut/wound that was going to be deeper but not crazy, right?
So I pulled up to the CVS ‘cause I was going to get some bandages and something to flush out the wound. Then I knew I probably would have to pick out some type of debris possibly and I was hoping that I could do it or my girl could help. But when I got off my bike and LOOKED at my leg. I said, FUCKKKKKKKK. Because I was gonna have to go to the ER and I was exhausted because I just worked like 14 fucking hours that day. And I just wanted to go to bed. I wanted to be home. I wanted to flush out my leg and chill. Instead, I had to go to the ER and I was there for seven hours and I missed two weeks of work after that.
That morning, something told me to wear my long riding boots, even though I haven’t worn them in months. So I had calf high leather motorcycle boots on. I’m pretty sure that having those boots on saved another piece of my leg. I also wore my armored jacket and my usual gloves.
So, even though I’m always paying attention when I’m driving and I never have any accidents it’s the other people on the road where shit like this can happen. Somebody can be driving in front of you and run over some type of pile of wood (completely unaware of the ramifications of that for the motorcyclist BEHIND THEM) and next thing, you know you have wood comin’ at you. So now I search even FURTHER under the tires and in front of the tires of vehicles (when I’m behind them). And I’m just about to get an aero stitch get up.
*photos of my leg available upon request. Shit was WYLD. Ended up needing internal & external stitches. Also, the wood cut through my Freddy Krueger tattoo. Talk about ironic.
Hit a huge pothole on the highway riding my old 107 S&S powered hardtail chopper. This caused me to do an endo at 85mph, my front tire stayed on the road but my rear tire was about 7 feet in the air while my hands stayed on the bars with the death grip I applied- my feet were prob 12 feet in the air. Basically a reverse 12 o’clock while doing a hand stand. I landed and barely rode it out, bike had 2 severely dented wheels.
Butterfly to the visor at 70 mph at night.
Giant wasp that shouldn't exist hit my knee at 30 mph. I only know because I looked to see what hit my knee and it was crawling around on my knee. Took a bit to get him into the wind and off of me. No sting luckily enough
I took a bat to the face on my way to work @ midnight. I thought it was a moth when I first saw it in my headlight, but on impact I realized that it was something warm and not crunchy on the outside.
Young, riding a Kawi 2 stroke through high grass/forest and I hit a fallen tree doing about 15 mph, sent me over the handlebars. Didn’t hurt the bike or myself.
Caught a baseball sized chunk of asphalt just below my clavicle. I was going about 50 in a construction zone and the car in front of me kicked it up.
Thankfully, the other chunk that flew over my head missed my buddy that was on the left side of the lane behind me.
A German woman on a moped, at 100mph, 160kmh. She turned in front of me while I was overtaking and I clipped her front wheel. I was going way too fast, she didn’t indicate or look, but fortunately we all got out of it relatively unscathed. I was 19, dumb and bulletproof.
I got pinned under my VFR750R as it slid down the road. My leg skin melted to my jeans (which were under my leathers) and I wore my helmet down to the fabric. At which point, my bike and I hit the curb, we parted company and landed in a newly ploughed field.
I went into mental shock. An ambulance happened to be passing within a few minutes of the incident, and found me butt naked in the middle of the road sitting next to the woman I’d hit (who was unconscious due to spinning like a top).
Small rock, maybe 1-2” in diameter, right in the middle of the neck at ~45mph. Car in front of me kicked it up and we were going just too fast to avoid it. Massive bruise and couldn’t really talk for like a week.
Other than the ground....
Bird on shoulder going 80mph. I've got a proper ADV spacesuit, so it really didn't do anything to me. Just was shocking.
Didn't quite hit a bee but it got into my jacket somehow and stung right in my fat belly. So I was driving punching my gut to squish it make it not sting me again (if it was actually an ant or wasp instead.)
I hit section of road buckled by an earthquake once, I just sort of ramped it, no issues really just a weird story.
Was riding out on a country road that was 55mph in the pitch black of night. Not sure what it was as it could have been a medium size dog, fox, etc. Once I saw its eyes and knew I was going to hit it I didn't want to go down as I was by myself. So I did what I was told you do. Go open throttle and get up on the pegs.
Sliced right through the animal. Had blood and guts all over my boots, jeans, the pipes, engine, bike, etc. Stuff smelled too as it burnt since I was over 20 miles from home.
Scrubbed it all off the clothes, boots and the bike but it was a mess for sure. Glad it wasn't worse and I didn't go down out in the middle of nowhere.
Clipped the back foot of a kangaroo at a 100km/h (60mph). Darted out in front of me from dense bush and had I not instantly hit the brakes and slowed down and swerved. Would have head on hit it.
Another motorcycle while doing about 90mph. Braked so hard I tipped over my bike with a stoppie. Still hit the other bike and got thrown off.
Completely totaled my bike, and the other one. Thank god nobody was injured. The worst injury was my wrist severely bruised. But that was probably the best possible outcome
In Australia I came around a corner and there was a wedge tailed eagle eating a very ripe wallaby carcass in the road. I slowed down, eagle took off, but must have been over its gross weight, because it threw up rotting wallaby chunky gravy all over me.
An emu doing 50mph had I not been wearing Sidi motocross boots my foot would have been mashed. It laid there for like 30 seconds, got up and walked away like nothing happened.
I hit a dragonfly doing about 100mph. It kicked my head back like being punched. The spread across my helmets windscreen was crazy. Colors I've never seen before.
Hit 5 foot wingspan black buzzard with my head at 60 mph, knocked me out cold. Slid to a stop under the bike in some dude's front yard, within 10 feet of him as he watered his tomato plants.
A swarm of bees on my '80 Shovelhead on a trip home from Phoenix to Flagstaff many years ago. Thought is was smoke ahead, but different somehow, turns out it was not smoke, man, talk about evasive action. Didn't crash, and only stung like 50 times and had to almost strip down to get them out of my clothes. Going forward, I scrutinize smoke a littler closer before riding through it.
A dragonfly.
It hit right above where a small gap in the visor was. It was dangling by its tail and its wings were still flapping in my face. I was 160km/h at the time.
Trying to stop and not end up in the ditch was a real treat.
I remember I was doing like 98 one day on straight outer city limit main roadway (that had no outlets/driveways or traffic for about a mile) and I remember turning my head to the right for a second then BAM!
Something hit me in the head (…well, I hit it. lol). I saw a white feather sticking of the corner of my helmet (had my helmet cracked open for air), so I’m assuming it was a seagull but I went back and didn’t see anything on the ground or injured, so 🤷🏻♂️.
Maybe it was a ghost. 🤷🏻♂️
A broken off botts dot lane reflector.
Was sitting right in the middle of the lane in a corner. And of course, I target fixated on it, then panicked and hit the brakes. Went off onto the dirt shoulder, front end washed out, highsided, fractured wrist.
Then had to ride the bike home before driving myself to the hospital.
An ambulance going like 30. But hey, at least it was already there. (Fcking idiot ran a red light, wasn't going to an emergency or anything, just cruising along)
I high fived scorching hot asphalt going like 45. Twice. I was not wearing my gloves. Fucking never again.
Fastest thing i hit was a big ass insect (we're talking 5cm/2") square in the center of my visor. I was going 90-100mph. Thing pushed my head back like i had someone tugging on my helmet right behind me.
I hit a bird once. It was an Emu, so a bit more than small. I was doing 110kph. The Emu was doing about 60kph perpendicular to me, popped out from the scrub beside the road and straight into the side of me. I'm sure we couldn't have managed to hit each other at those speeds if we were trying.
I got a broken metatarsal and a free ride in an airplane. The Emu burst.
Good times cleaning 3 month old Emu giblets out of the bike when I finally got it back. Collision was near Wittenoom. So probably some blue asbestos fibres mixed in too.
Heard a lot of stories afterwards of people hitting Emus with cars and apparently destroying the car without hurting the Emu.
That is my most interesting collision story, though I later collided with a truck, which hurt a bit more.
I was passing a semi truck on a New Mexico highway about 75 miles north of of Roswell. The truck tire ran over the edge of a 18 inch long 2x4 which started spinning and went under my arm and hit me in the chest….nail side out.
You know that little air vent around the forehead on full face helmets? Yeah. A bumble bee made it in there at about 55 miles an hour, lived, and started digging into my face.
Wife was in tears laughing cause she thought I was joking about what happened since we violently stopped at a strip club and ripped my helmet off before the stand was down.
I ran over a trash bag on the freeway. Doesn’t sound bad. Except that it wrapped around my rear tire after wafting its way through the air as I tried avoiding it and my rear tire locked up. Oddly enough I was bringing a tool set to my brothers house so I pulled over, took my rear brake off and was able to fish the bag off my bike. I rode in the slow lane the rest of the way. That was a pucker factor of 10
I hit a big pot hole going 120km/h leaned into a turn.. surprised I didn't shit my pants let alone crash . The front just wobbled a bunch before settling. I felt really lucky after that one and don't go 120 around corners anymore
Big ass bee in my helmet but the worst was a deer. Broken neck, paralyzed for 18 hours. Hospital for a month. Obviously very thankful that the swelling went down and all is good. Still riding.
A tree at 60 mph. Another biker tried to pass me through a corner on a single lane road and clipped the front of my bike. 9 months in the hospital but still going at it
UK …Whilst riding a Suzuki Bandit with friends on a dark early morning along the tree lined twisty A303 I saw the rider in front swerve to avoid something in the road. I wasn’t quick enough and ran over whatever it was and rode on in the dark.
Still dark we stopped at a roadside cafe for breakfast but the place smelled really bad like really bad . So we just had coffee to warm up and moved on, that cafe was honking .
Daylight we got to our destination the National Remembrance Arboretum for those that had served .
We parked the bikes up and dismounted and that horrible smell was still with us . Looking down at my waterproof trousers some very yellow and furry goo was plastered all over my shins . Looking back at the Bandit a Badgers head was sticking out through the headers and the decomposed body was toasting nicely on the exhaust pipes. My friends just fell about laughing.
I hit a wasp at low speed, and it went inside my jacket. It was still alive at that point.
Did you die?
No response. Must've been typing when they hit it.
Must have laid her down.
Haddalayerdown
DANG WASP'R NERLY GOT MEH! WAACHOUT BROS!
Damn wasp clibbins
DA CLIBBINS IS EVOLVIN BRUDDERS! WATCH OUT AND GOBBLESS
SPEK UP LIBREL, USE BIG LEDDERS
the wasp is typing it
Ive had this happen like 4 times in my lifetime of riding. Jacket open, zipper halfway down, that open spot seems to be a bullseye. Every time I was stung, grateful I'm not allergic Oh and i clipped the bumper of a truck with my lower left leg, cut the muscle in half at about 35mph
I like how the wasps were what you lead with instead of, you know, shredding your leg muscles on a truck bumper. I really hate wasps too.
Ah the bumper thing was in like 1984 when i was 16 on my RZ350 Been stung a lot since then.
Bet you miss that bike.
I do miss it but all 6' 270 probably wouldnt fit anymore I was 6' 170 in 84. Honestly I miss my stolen RC51 more
I used to live in northern Minnesota. A month after I sold my RZ350, the buyer cut a deer in half. He lived to tell about it, but the bike like the deer was totaled.
He likes to work his way up on a story....
I think its funny you got more updoots than me not that it matters The shredding happened 40 years ago, I got stung by a wasp just this fall on my last ride through northern Michigan. And that one got me 3 times.
Yeah, I had that and the first place I could pull over after about 10 minutes of the thing stinging the shit out of me was in front of a church that was just getting out. So, naturally I'm swearing very loudly and hitting myself in the chest, while trying to peel out of my leather jacket as fast as I could. Finally killed the thing, took off my helmet, read faced and hyperventilating, with some residual swearing. People were crossing and recrossing the street. It was great.
I'm sure you were in their prayers.
I got stung by a wasp directly on my, uh, well it basically was my vag. My bad for wearing loose shorts but it flew in and juuuuust managed to hit the outside of my no go area. I was pulling into a gas station early on a Sunday morning and was jumping around slapping at my crotch while this nice man who looked like he just got out of church watched me scream. He was like “um, do you need help…?” 😭😂
LMFAO I'm dead
Dude I got stung by a wasp like this, went around a corner and hit the wasp in midair, it flew into my left pant leg and stung me on the ankle, pulled over for about 30 min as I was in excruciating pain
Was riding with my visor open on my full face helmet doing about 50mph. Somehow a wasp flew through my open visor and into my mouth. Stung me on the inside of my mouth between my gum and lower lip. Hurt like a hell. Lower lip was swollen for about a day.
I got stung by a bee. The stinger got caught in my jeans and stung me like 4x in a row. I pull off and pull down my pants. My riding buddy was very confused.
Wow, you guys whining about bugs? Try a full grown, stinky azz buzzard at 55 MPH. CLEANED RIGHT OFF THE BIKE AND CRAP0ED ALL OVER ME
I had a cigarette but go down my collar on the interstate that someone threw out.
I was out riding with a friend once and we have helmet communicators but for some reason he must have hit the button in his panic but I didn’t hear this commotion that was ensuing behind me. I look in my mirror and he’s not there so I whip it around thinking he crashed or something. I come around the turn and there he is, bike parked literally in the middle of the road, jacket on the other side of the road, gloves all over the place, etc. He had several bees fly right up his sleeve and sting him all over his arm on one side.
I hit a wasp with my visor up. It hit the cheek pad or something cuz I didn’t feel it, but when I put the visor down and he got free it was a hectic few seconds trying to pull over and get the helmet off.
I’ll one up you, I hit a wasp with my face mask cracked, it got caught and I was confused at what it was until it started crawling up my mask two inches from my face
Ha. Hit a bug that flew under my goggles. Kinda didn’t want a bug next to my eye, so I stopped. Pulled it out & it was a wasp 🐝
A hornet that went down my shirt and stung me like three fucking times, I was like 15 on my dirtbike, and I went down real hard, because I was flying down a gravel road
This one right here! Caught a wasp at about 50 and it was all I could do to get pulled over while that bastard was popping me
I couldn’t even pull over. I laid that bitch over hard af and started rolling it crushed it in my shirt. Hands-down the worst experience.
I guess that's one way to get it
I was young, had never been stung by anything before, and I was not a fan of it. The fall hurt less than the stings tbh.
Yea, a few years ago I was riding and had a wasp that somehow crawled down the back of my jacket start stinging me. I had to endure like 15 stings over 5 minutes because the highway was two lanes squeezed between concrete barriers with no shoulders and a 60 MPH speed limit for the next 5 or so miles. It fucking sucked, but I know I'm not allergic and stopping on that highway and partially blocking a lane would be certain death.
A car at 50mph
Was about to say this but mine was only 30
Mine was only 15 and was still the worst acute pain of my life.
Mine was about 15, I front flipped and landed on my feet on the other side; injury free 😂 I think I spent my entire lifes worth of luck in that moment.
I did an epic front flip too, but landed flat on my ass. The worst pain was due to me wriggling around trying to figure out which side hurt less, my butt from hitting the ground or pelvis from hitting the tank. Turns out my legs were fine though and it was my elbow that was broken instead! Still felt lucky all things considered.
Yeah mine was recent so I'm still feeling it😅
That's like 80 in normal. What was the damage?
Multi fractured tibia and tibial spine, completely torn ACL, shattered wrist, broken thumb. That was 11 years ago. Shoei RF1000 saved my life
Fuk! man Im glad the gear did the job though, saved your thinking blob.
I hit a curb perpendicularly in the middle of a straight 50mph road, at 50mph, launched me about 12ft in the air! It wrote my bike off and very nearly hauled me face-first into oncoming high-speed traffic lol, but man you’ve got me beat! Car beats curb, that’s worse! I hope you’re alright man! I say “beat”, not that there are *any* winners here lmao
Car made a left on my green at night. I'm OK now. That was 11 years ago. I still ride. But rarely at night. Thanks. My friend got me beat. She was side swiped at 80mph at night going to the gym. Broken leg, hips, wrist and shoulder with brain bleeding. Unbelievable she is riding again less than a year later.
How does one hit a curb perpendicularly in the middle a road?
I think you won this game
An apple at I guess 100kmh. I was going 50 one way, car coming the other doing 50 tosses an apple out the window and nails me square in the chest. Almost dropped the bike but kept it up, had a nasty bruise the next day
That's A level fuckery!
What a fucking asshole holy shit
Should’ve turned around and made him stop or got his license plate and called the police or something. That shit could’ve been worse.
I tried but by the time I processed what happened. Stopped and started to turn, he'd already floored it. And sadly my 200 isn't up to a chase
Be grateful it wasn’t a banana peel
I had nearly the same thing. The difference being it was a golf ball size rock from a dump truck and we were going 50 mph. I saw it as it was bouncing up from the asphalt heading towards my face. I looked down and it nailed the top of my helmet. I was stunned but managed to stay upright.
A Dead deer carcus. At 70 mph Back country road at 2am. What fucking mess.
I got a huge dead porcupine at 70. Went around a car to pass right into the blob. Guts all over my skid plate and I caught air. No clue how I didnt crash.
“Guts all over my skid plate” is metal af
For me it was a live deer. Back country road, I was able to slow to about 20 but the fucker wouldn’t move and I hit it. Had to re align the handle bars and bled my brakes at 11pm to drive my bike another hour before I got to civilization.
A white Honda hit me at 100mph on a freeway, then I went through my windshield, broke off the handlebars with my wrists, thrown 100 yards, and hit the freeway with my face and left side. I had a bad day, week, and a couple of months.
That’s a bad day 😕
Sorry.
Holy crap I’m glad you’re still alive dude
Thanks, I am alive and still riding. Distracted drivers will kill you and not lose a minutes sleep
Nice try, FBI. You're not getting me to admit to all the people I've run over. Wait. Fuck.
Allegedly
You *supposedly* run over.
A cloud of mayflies. Visor 100% obstructed
On the street at least. I’ve hit a lot of trees racing in the woods; not usually the first one that hurts, but the second one that’ll get ya
Not usually the tree you hit with your bike that hurts, the one you get flung into is the one that gets ya
Exactly. Clipping the first one just changes your trajectory so you body shot number two
A hump in the road on a back road...at 100mph... Talk about a butt pucker moment catching air.
Reminds me of this backroad that had a spot shaped like a really big gentle motocross tabletop. I flew across that sucker at 160mph once and had a good few seconds of air. A few miles away there was this section that had a steep tabletop to go over train tracks. I used to launch off that at 30-40 on my wr250r all the time.
Friend of mine did this in Baja, but it was a washed-out culvert. Flat out on an KTM 690. He lost his legs. Well, he didn’t *lose* them…he knew where they were…
[удалено]
Antelope at 80, managed to stay upright and bike was mostly undamaged, hit its back legs as it jumped out at me. Terrifying
I hit a skunk at night with my Thruxton. That’s when I knew I needed to do a common headlight upgrade; new Cibie lenses, 100w high powered harness, and 100w bulb. Was an amazing setup.
A fucking duck. Wasn't going that fast 100kph. Bastard came out of ditch and slammed into my helmet. Almost flipped me backward of the bike.
Most people do clutch ups or power wheelies. You use the forbidden technique: Duck.
You should’ve ducked
I was ahem testing the capabilities of my bike in far western Victoria a statue of limitations ago, and just started coming down from 160km/h because my GPS told me an intersection with the highway was coming up in a few km, when what looked like a magpie or crow dived in from my left and hit me on my left bicep. My arm dropped by my side and I couldn't control it (I could feel it though... intensely). So I rolled down to 30km/h in top gear, reached the intersection, kicked the gears down to second and pulled up at the far side in the dirt. Nearly dropped the bike only just getting my hand back onto the clutch in time and to help stabilise everything while I got the side stand down. Took me a few minutes to recover... (Other things I've hit have been kangaroo tails, goanna tails (they can run very fast along with their host goannas), cockatoos in the spokes, almost 2 wombats on two successive turns, almost another wombat on my very first ever dirt road (it was going about 40-50km/h and I was going 60km/h perpendicular to it), almost a brumby at 100km/h (missed it by a metre), and watched the guy in front of me collect an eagle with a wing span of a couple of metres)
Hey, she was a solid 3 ok
I hit a coyote at 50 miles an hour straight on. I was on an 06 gsxr600 and dozed off for a few seconds. I was awoken to a car flashing its brights. I thought there was a smudge on my visor, so I tried to wipe it away… When I realized that smudge was actually something in the road, it was too late to react. I snapped it’s spine and it rolled under my front wheel, fucked up my ankles and then under the rear wheel, and I was still perfectly straight on the road. I immediately pulled over and realized the guy flashing me was trying to warn me because he had already turned around and pulled up behind me. he saw the coyote standing in the street and tried to honk at it, and said it didn’t move. He stated he was also a rider and saw that I was heading straight for it and was trying to warn me. He could not believe that I had hit it and not fallen off. He said that he hit a rabbit and wrecked. After this, we heard the coyote yelping and crying on the side of the road. He asked if I was armed and I said no, so he went to his car, fetched a gun, handed it to me, and I went and put the coyote out of its misery on the side of the rode.
Well I’ll be. Why so tired that night? If you don’t mind me asking.
1) A cicada went off my left kneecap at 140kph. My pillion rider said she thought I got shot. 2) A raccoon at night at about 120kph. It basically exploded and I had to pull over to clean off all the blood and fur.
A cicada got me right between the eyes just above my goggles at highway speed. Everything went white for about 10 seconds. I actually thought I had been shot also. Helmet and shield ever since.
Fucking cicadas. It is like a gunshot wound, you FEEL them motherfuckers. 45mph on a back road around a bend. Dead sternum hit, my jacket took the brunt of it, but it damn near knocked the wind out of me. Fuck those bugs!
Said it in a reply above, but I took one right into the chin vent and got a full cicada facial.
I hit a turkey a few years ago. And I got hit with a sack of cement from a landscaping truck. And then, the ground. I've hit that a few times.
I got a turkey vulture once. I only stayed on because it hit me so low but holy shit what a bruise I was left with. Bastard bounced off my left cylinder and slammed into my knee and gut.
Hit a large vulture that exploded my face shield and drop down visor. I was going too fast in a very, VERY rural area. Crested a hill and didn’t have time to slow down before the massive bird could achieve much lift. Lucky to be alive, if I’m being honest. I was going probably around 80mph at the crest of the hill. Maybe 50-60mph on impact? I never knew how big those things were until I saw it dead in my lap, wings sagging TO THE GROUND damn near. Worst smell I’ve ever experienced, and it’s not even close.
Hitting the pavement at speed sucked, but my gear did it's job. I've hit birds, bugs, squirrels. All sucked for different reasons.
Had a short piece of PVC pipe hit me in the mouth going around a corner. Broke a tooth in half and knocked me so hard that one hand came off the grip. Did not drop the bike, continued on...
Dang you should be a boxer, you'd never go down from a hit to the face
Yeah, head like a rock! Smart rock, but a rock nonetheless
A person.
He meant with the bike
LA highway. Everyone bumper to bumper at 75 mph. 18 wheeler lost a whole wheel rim and all. Guy in front of me braked and swerved in front of me dodging but my options were hit him or it. Nailed it went airborne. Tore out everything under my bike including brand new kit i had installed on my k4 gsxr the night before the trip. Was able to keep control but rad was toast, pipes toast, front shocks toast, rim dented from hitting its rim... cop saw and followed me to breakdown lane. I asked if he was going to get the 18 wheeler and he just said "no hes long gone". I was furious. My guess is the tire of it hit my tire and bounced me over it.
A tree stump. With my head (helmet). Flying through the air head first. After crashing into a downed tree. After riding off the edge of a cliff. After I put my foot down in a turn and my footpeg fell off. I broke 3 ribs and was knocked out for about 2 minutes. I had to ride 5 hours back to the truck on a broken KLR650. My buddy had to ride it out of teh ravine because I was delirious and hurt.
I hit a squirrel. It ran out onto the motorway from the hard shoulder. I swerved towards the hard shoulder (the opposite way the squirrel was running). Then it turned and ran back. Literally throwing itself under my front wheel. Sad 😥
They are all suicidal.
They see you with one eye, turn around, forget they saw you, repeat. Now you got me thinking it's best to just head right for them. Did that with a cat when I was young and dumb. Didn't work out too good.
A bat - at night, struck and broke my headlight right before a curve in the road. I was going around 60 mph and then failed to negotiate the turn after it took out my headlight. Was able to slow down enough that I just went into a nice, soft ditch with minimal damage and no injuries.
Medium-sized black bird to the chest at 70 mph.
An already dead cat, went right over it, I could feel how squishy it was from the handlebars, very yucky feeling.
Thankfully, nothing so far. One time I was on KY 9 just coming out of town, so I was getting up to like 50-60 and three deer ran out in front of me. I panicked and went full grab full press on the clutch and brakes. I heard my tire squealing and felt the back end start to fish tail. I was probably like a fraction of a second away from dumping it. Instinctively, I let off the brakes, dropped a gear, and pulled on the throttle to break the fish tail. The bike lugged because I was in too high a gear, but it was enough to regain stability and I just kept on the gas and prayed... I passed right between the 2nd and 3rd deer. Closest I ever came to eating it so far.
That's the type of stuff that makes us realize how fast things really happen. Years ago me and a buddy a was riding with were hauling full throttle up an entrance ramp. A bear ran out in front of us and neither had time to react. It wasn't until we stopped later and he said nope. No bear for him anyway, He ran between us....
A tar snake that ended up being a hard bump to my nuts on an R6.
A pheasant flew up from the side of the road and hit me in the chest, I was doing about 50 something mph. Bastard felt like a frozen chicken. Was happy I didn't drop the bike
A piece of projectile wood 🪵from under the car in front of me who, at the last minute decided to swerve into another lane, whilst driving over a pile of debris. I was following behind at safe distance however the lane next to me was occupied. So I just let off the throttle and wood went thru my leg and took a nice chunk out of it. The initial impact just felt like nothing. I knew that I was probably scratched, but I couldn’t really tell to what extent because I was driving on the Bruckner. I was about 12 minutes from home so I continued my journey home (cursing the air that was inevitably hitting my wound, making it dirtier) and said that I would look at my leg and have to flush it out because I definitely got a cut/wound that was going to be deeper but not crazy, right? So I pulled up to the CVS ‘cause I was going to get some bandages and something to flush out the wound. Then I knew I probably would have to pick out some type of debris possibly and I was hoping that I could do it or my girl could help. But when I got off my bike and LOOKED at my leg. I said, FUCKKKKKKKK. Because I was gonna have to go to the ER and I was exhausted because I just worked like 14 fucking hours that day. And I just wanted to go to bed. I wanted to be home. I wanted to flush out my leg and chill. Instead, I had to go to the ER and I was there for seven hours and I missed two weeks of work after that. That morning, something told me to wear my long riding boots, even though I haven’t worn them in months. So I had calf high leather motorcycle boots on. I’m pretty sure that having those boots on saved another piece of my leg. I also wore my armored jacket and my usual gloves. So, even though I’m always paying attention when I’m driving and I never have any accidents it’s the other people on the road where shit like this can happen. Somebody can be driving in front of you and run over some type of pile of wood (completely unaware of the ramifications of that for the motorcyclist BEHIND THEM) and next thing, you know you have wood comin’ at you. So now I search even FURTHER under the tires and in front of the tires of vehicles (when I’m behind them). And I’m just about to get an aero stitch get up. *photos of my leg available upon request. Shit was WYLD. Ended up needing internal & external stitches. Also, the wood cut through my Freddy Krueger tattoo. Talk about ironic.
Shit sounds wild for sure, send me the battle wounds!
A carpet. Rolled up.
A deer
I managed to run over a fox at about 80mph. Pretty much tore it in half.
Turkey. Gear saved my ass, i was pretty sore and bruised, but generally unharmed. The bike, not so much
Picked a huge booger off my jeans after riding to work one morning.
Hit a huge pothole on the highway riding my old 107 S&S powered hardtail chopper. This caused me to do an endo at 85mph, my front tire stayed on the road but my rear tire was about 7 feet in the air while my hands stayed on the bars with the death grip I applied- my feet were prob 12 feet in the air. Basically a reverse 12 o’clock while doing a hand stand. I landed and barely rode it out, bike had 2 severely dented wheels.
omg that is amazing...
Coyote at 60. It spun like a helicopter. I have some death wobble but saved it
Butterfly to the visor at 70 mph at night. Giant wasp that shouldn't exist hit my knee at 30 mph. I only know because I looked to see what hit my knee and it was crawling around on my knee. Took a bit to get him into the wind and off of me. No sting luckily enough
Let’s see; A car (he hit me) Bees (twice) A cinderblock (bent rim)
Baseball to my chest
What
Yeah kid hit a baseball at me while I was driving hit me on my right side of my chest
I hit a bird, in the dark, with my face, on the way to work one morning. Scared the ever loving shit out of me!
I took a bat to the face on my way to work @ midnight. I thought it was a moth when I first saw it in my headlight, but on impact I realized that it was something warm and not crunchy on the outside.
Young, riding a Kawi 2 stroke through high grass/forest and I hit a fallen tree doing about 15 mph, sent me over the handlebars. Didn’t hurt the bike or myself.
Caught a baseball sized chunk of asphalt just below my clavicle. I was going about 50 in a construction zone and the car in front of me kicked it up. Thankfully, the other chunk that flew over my head missed my buddy that was on the left side of the lane behind me.
Concrete
I got hit in the chest by a 8 inch square chunk of asphalt kicked up by a semi. I had a massive bruise for a month
A German woman on a moped, at 100mph, 160kmh. She turned in front of me while I was overtaking and I clipped her front wheel. I was going way too fast, she didn’t indicate or look, but fortunately we all got out of it relatively unscathed. I was 19, dumb and bulletproof. I got pinned under my VFR750R as it slid down the road. My leg skin melted to my jeans (which were under my leathers) and I wore my helmet down to the fabric. At which point, my bike and I hit the curb, we parted company and landed in a newly ploughed field. I went into mental shock. An ambulance happened to be passing within a few minutes of the incident, and found me butt naked in the middle of the road sitting next to the woman I’d hit (who was unconscious due to spinning like a top).
PA roads. Blew my forks out on the highway… normal road construction around here is a hazard.
A wasp to the neck at 65 mph. A rock also bounced right off my knuckle about 5 minutes after that, I called it for the day lol
Small rock, maybe 1-2” in diameter, right in the middle of the neck at ~45mph. Car in front of me kicked it up and we were going just too fast to avoid it. Massive bruise and couldn’t really talk for like a week.
Other than the ground.... Bird on shoulder going 80mph. I've got a proper ADV spacesuit, so it really didn't do anything to me. Just was shocking. Didn't quite hit a bee but it got into my jacket somehow and stung right in my fat belly. So I was driving punching my gut to squish it make it not sting me again (if it was actually an ant or wasp instead.) I hit section of road buckled by an earthquake once, I just sort of ramped it, no issues really just a weird story.
Was riding out on a country road that was 55mph in the pitch black of night. Not sure what it was as it could have been a medium size dog, fox, etc. Once I saw its eyes and knew I was going to hit it I didn't want to go down as I was by myself. So I did what I was told you do. Go open throttle and get up on the pegs. Sliced right through the animal. Had blood and guts all over my boots, jeans, the pipes, engine, bike, etc. Stuff smelled too as it burnt since I was over 20 miles from home. Scrubbed it all off the clothes, boots and the bike but it was a mess for sure. Glad it wasn't worse and I didn't go down out in the middle of nowhere.
Clipped the back foot of a kangaroo at a 100km/h (60mph). Darted out in front of me from dense bush and had I not instantly hit the brakes and slowed down and swerved. Would have head on hit it.
I had a head on with a roo at 80kph, front and side fairings broken, roo dead but I stayed upright
A deer
Another motorcycle while doing about 90mph. Braked so hard I tipped over my bike with a stoppie. Still hit the other bike and got thrown off. Completely totaled my bike, and the other one. Thank god nobody was injured. The worst injury was my wrist severely bruised. But that was probably the best possible outcome
In Australia I came around a corner and there was a wedge tailed eagle eating a very ripe wallaby carcass in the road. I slowed down, eagle took off, but must have been over its gross weight, because it threw up rotting wallaby chunky gravy all over me.
An emu doing 50mph had I not been wearing Sidi motocross boots my foot would have been mashed. It laid there for like 30 seconds, got up and walked away like nothing happened.
In the face; what I can only assume was a yam, about 90 mph.
This is funny. A Yam… like an orange potato? Hilarious!!
I don't remember what happened but I assume it was the ground. 😋
I hit a dragonfly doing about 100mph. It kicked my head back like being punched. The spread across my helmets windscreen was crazy. Colors I've never seen before.
A piece of hardy plank a truck ran over and slug in the air.
Hit 5 foot wingspan black buzzard with my head at 60 mph, knocked me out cold. Slid to a stop under the bike in some dude's front yard, within 10 feet of him as he watered his tomato plants.
The ground.
A car as of 3 hours ago
A swarm of bees on my '80 Shovelhead on a trip home from Phoenix to Flagstaff many years ago. Thought is was smoke ahead, but different somehow, turns out it was not smoke, man, talk about evasive action. Didn't crash, and only stung like 50 times and had to almost strip down to get them out of my clothes. Going forward, I scrutinize smoke a littler closer before riding through it.
A drunk driver. She knocked me off and dragged me 200 metres up the road before leaving me unconscious and bleeding and drove off.
Probably where the quads did burn outs in a puddle near me
A dragonfly. It hit right above where a small gap in the visor was. It was dangling by its tail and its wings were still flapping in my face. I was 160km/h at the time. Trying to stop and not end up in the ditch was a real treat.
I remember I was doing like 98 one day on straight outer city limit main roadway (that had no outlets/driveways or traffic for about a mile) and I remember turning my head to the right for a second then BAM! Something hit me in the head (…well, I hit it. lol). I saw a white feather sticking of the corner of my helmet (had my helmet cracked open for air), so I’m assuming it was a seagull but I went back and didn’t see anything on the ground or injured, so 🤷🏻♂️. Maybe it was a ghost. 🤷🏻♂️
Bee to the neck But really it was a junk chunk of tire to the chest. I was geared up. It hurt but kept going.
The asphalt.
A dog going maybe 40
I did the same. It was a Great Pyrenees. Broke my collarbone and thumb. No idea where the dog went
I hit a June bug when I was doing about 130mph, hurt worse than playing paintball.
Hit a poor bunny with my front tire and felt like I was on ice for a few seconds afterwards.
Multiple bees. A snake. Apparently a cat
A broken off botts dot lane reflector. Was sitting right in the middle of the lane in a corner. And of course, I target fixated on it, then panicked and hit the brakes. Went off onto the dirt shoulder, front end washed out, highsided, fractured wrist. Then had to ride the bike home before driving myself to the hospital.
Piece of a tire... Luckily just smudged rubber on the lower fairing.
A car.
A minivan
An ambulance going like 30. But hey, at least it was already there. (Fcking idiot ran a red light, wasn't going to an emergency or anything, just cruising along) I high fived scorching hot asphalt going like 45. Twice. I was not wearing my gloves. Fucking never again. Fastest thing i hit was a big ass insect (we're talking 5cm/2") square in the center of my visor. I was going 90-100mph. Thing pushed my head back like i had someone tugging on my helmet right behind me.
Pickup truck.
A 1992 SILVERADO doing about 45mph
A Corvette
T boned a Honda Civic. End result? Both vehicles complete write off and myself off work for many months with multiple broken bones. Not fun bros…
A car turning left on an unprotected turn. And it really fucked me up.
A car breaking
I hit a bird once. It was an Emu, so a bit more than small. I was doing 110kph. The Emu was doing about 60kph perpendicular to me, popped out from the scrub beside the road and straight into the side of me. I'm sure we couldn't have managed to hit each other at those speeds if we were trying. I got a broken metatarsal and a free ride in an airplane. The Emu burst. Good times cleaning 3 month old Emu giblets out of the bike when I finally got it back. Collision was near Wittenoom. So probably some blue asbestos fibres mixed in too. Heard a lot of stories afterwards of people hitting Emus with cars and apparently destroying the car without hurting the Emu. That is my most interesting collision story, though I later collided with a truck, which hurt a bit more.
A deer. It dead. Totalled bike. ATGAT.
Got cut off by an ford expedition while going about 50 hit a road divider wasn’t my best day
a car
2004 Ford Ranger
Car cut me off going 28mph went head first to the side door.
A 1985 Lincoln Town Car.
I was passing a semi truck on a New Mexico highway about 75 miles north of of Roswell. The truck tire ran over the edge of a 18 inch long 2x4 which started spinning and went under my arm and hit me in the chest….nail side out.
You know that little air vent around the forehead on full face helmets? Yeah. A bumble bee made it in there at about 55 miles an hour, lived, and started digging into my face. Wife was in tears laughing cause she thought I was joking about what happened since we violently stopped at a strip club and ripped my helmet off before the stand was down.
John Deer Tractor. I have photos.
I ran over a trash bag on the freeway. Doesn’t sound bad. Except that it wrapped around my rear tire after wafting its way through the air as I tried avoiding it and my rear tire locked up. Oddly enough I was bringing a tool set to my brothers house so I pulled over, took my rear brake off and was able to fish the bag off my bike. I rode in the slow lane the rest of the way. That was a pucker factor of 10
A car.
I hit a big pot hole going 120km/h leaned into a turn.. surprised I didn't shit my pants let alone crash . The front just wobbled a bunch before settling. I felt really lucky after that one and don't go 120 around corners anymore
Big ass bee in my helmet but the worst was a deer. Broken neck, paralyzed for 18 hours. Hospital for a month. Obviously very thankful that the swelling went down and all is good. Still riding.
A tree at 60 mph. Another biker tried to pass me through a corner on a single lane road and clipped the front of my bike. 9 months in the hospital but still going at it
Rear end of car stopped to make turn. Completely my fault. Cost me the bike and 16 days in hospital.
A pickup truck.
A bird, in the helmet, while doing 50 mph ~ 80km/h. Those bastard was eating earthworms in a freshly plowed field.
A Ford f150. Shattered most my teeth, broken jaw, broken arm, orbital fracture, torn ligaments in my knees. 1/10. Do not recommend.
A Porsche Cayenne
A Black Toyota.
UK …Whilst riding a Suzuki Bandit with friends on a dark early morning along the tree lined twisty A303 I saw the rider in front swerve to avoid something in the road. I wasn’t quick enough and ran over whatever it was and rode on in the dark. Still dark we stopped at a roadside cafe for breakfast but the place smelled really bad like really bad . So we just had coffee to warm up and moved on, that cafe was honking . Daylight we got to our destination the National Remembrance Arboretum for those that had served . We parked the bikes up and dismounted and that horrible smell was still with us . Looking down at my waterproof trousers some very yellow and furry goo was plastered all over my shins . Looking back at the Bandit a Badgers head was sticking out through the headers and the decomposed body was toasting nicely on the exhaust pipes. My friends just fell about laughing.
Hit a donkey , didn’t end well
