Nothing as cool as that has ever happened to me, one question though if you have passed your tests why have you still got an L plate on Question

Wasp bounced off chest, sucked up into my helmet, landed in line with my right eye resting on the padding.

Many, many new swear words were invented in the 30+ seconds it took me to pull over. Luckily the poor bugger took such a blow it was stunned and not moving.

Also had to duck to avoid a pidgeon at 40mph (my mate behind had a good giggle) and minutes later a squirrel ran hell for leather out of the bushes in line with my foot, stopped not even an inch from my wheel and ran back into the bush. Again, mate in hysterics.

Wildlife has a thing for me it seems. Smile

I was riding along a country road and a bird swooped down coming right for me. I knew it was going to hit me, braced myself, and maybe closed my eyes for a fraction of a second (not like a wuss would at all) Wink

Then Nothing...

Thought it must've just missed me!

Three days later, I noticed it.

I'm sorry - but that made me laugh. Glad the bird didn't die, poor rabbit. Animals need to learn it's not big, nor clever to play chicken on these busy roads.

Unfortunately so. It would have been instant, as the neck was broken and twisted around. He swooped down towards me and hit me head first at no less than 60mph.
