.....well the rabbit did, i was out for a run about 10 mins ago, pitch black down the coast road, when a rabbit shot out from the grass, i saw it, braced myself and touched on the back brake, the rabbit was aiming for my front wheel, (gulp) but it never, it somehow, managed to shoot between my front and rear wheel... Shocked and i was doing 50...

god knows how it did it, but i shit my pants.

looked behind and it skipped off into the darkness.

lucker, Steve.

Laughing I just had the same thing happened with 4 raccoon's tonight.

About 5 mins ago I came over the top the hill at about 30 and this big f*cking thing darted out on me I thought it was a small child at first Laughing

I killed one out right as the noise it made when it went under the front wheel was awful Sick

But the other 3 survived Mr. Green

Cant see any damage to bike as its to dark, Im gonna go corpse hunting tomorrow with my camera and see what if I can find it.


*Most probably would of seen them earlier had I not been wearing my tinted visor when it was pitchblack*

fortunately never hit anything on the bike yet, i've hit a rabbit in the car once and my mate following me seemed to have finished it off.

wouldn't like to hit anything on the bike though, especially on the front wheel.

In a straight line you'll only feel a slight bump.

I had a Badger run out in front of me on Sunday morning as I was under 2/3rds acceleration down a straight bit of country B road. Jesus they are big feckers, only ever seen a dead one by the side of the road before, nearly saw another. Thought it was a family dog or something that had gone on the run at first. Glad I didn't get to see it any closer. It's probably running around with an arse that looks like a Baboon now.

You should see how much grass they eat in our fields.

This hapened a mate in the middle of the night, he didn't see it (being too dark and all) and it did go through his wheel..

He fell of, shattered both his wrists (held together with steel rods now) lost 6pints odd of blood, was discovered by a passing car but otherwise he'd be dead..

Bandit 400 written off (but has been regristered and is about still) and he was consious long enough to see the rabbit hop off unharmed..

Might have caught its leg in the brake, the bunny he saw may have been another assassin rabbit come to finish him off Shocked but then he might have been hallucinating Laughing

I had the same on my CCM at about 70, but with a squirrel.

I've no idea how it managed to get between the wheels, but it did.

I looked back and it was fine, I couldn't believe it made it.
