Got a female blackbird stuck in my air intake at 80mph yesterday!
sorry about the poor quality of the pictures, they were taken on my phone!

That's impressive it went right into the air intake! Did it break anything?

and is that a steering damper on a road going ZXR400?

That was very lucky,, I've had near misses with bird before on my bike and managed to move out the way of them...

I also know a girl who crashed because of a bird strike.. It hit her on the head and knock her off her bike.. Some very severe injuries she picked up as well....

Whats disturbing this EXACT same thing has happened before to mr_fisty, about a year ago.. (which had him wondering why it was running like crap for a good long while Laughing )

Another time a seagull happened to a new faring picked up the week before.. (feathers and a massive crack were the main clue)

Hahah good description i know the exact noise Razz

and im quite impressed it actually went in the air intake, at least the bird had the good manners not to smash your screen with its broken body...

Besides i thought the Hoses/Air intakes on the ZXR400 were for show? i would ride round like that for a few days if i were you Smile
