I ran over a squirrel once. It crossed the road between me and an oncoming lorry, ran back and forth in a panic and then froze. It was just my side of the centre line so I thought yes! stay there, you'll be safe. Then it just ran under my front wheel, all in a matter of moments. Surprisingly it felt like more of a bump than a squish. I think I ran over its nuts.
Another time I startled a small flock of partridges which took off and flew in parallel with the bike. I was cruising along, full of admiration and amusement when a Range Rover came from nowhere and scattered all but one, which caught it full in the beak. I was appalled and turned round to find the poor thing. It was twitching on the grass verge and obviously not long for this world but I couldn't bring myself to finish it off with my boot.
I genuinely fear hitting a deer. There are lots around my way. I remember seeing a Peugeot estate on my commute looking like it had been karate chopped, a write off, with a big Roe Deer stag lying dead behind it. Doesn't bear thinking about on a bike. |

Hit and killed a Muntjac deer (about the size of an alsation). I was doing 70mph on an unlit NSL road, the old A120, when I saw a flash of fur, if I had been doing the speed limit I'd have hit him full on and come off the bike, as it was his head hit my footrest, he sort of ran into the side of me.
Blood and hair down the side of my greasy swing arm when I looked in the morning. The deer in question ran out from behind this sign, so he had a sense of humour.

No actual hits. Had the usual near misses with pheasants and pigeons. Scariest was a Red Kite in Oxfordshire that didn't want to leave the roadkill it had found, but dropped it, whatever it was, missing me by inches, or so it seemed. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Hit a Cow on my NSR125 in the new forrest
Could see it for a good mile before the incident, it was stood by the side of the road eating... i got closer and closer slowing down then right as i was next to it the bloody thing decided to cross the road, slammed on the brakes but still face planted into the right side of its at about 2mph (another inch and a half i would of stopped ).
The cow did a kind of half skip then carried on crossing the road. The cow, my bike and me were fine.. only damage was my visor popped off and my reputation with 2 of my friends who were behind me ____________________ Bikes owned :- 2001 nsr125, 1999 zx6r, 2006 yzf-r1, 2009 xmax 250, 2012 yzf-r1, 2015 MT-07

The biggest thing i have hit was a 4 ft wide diesel slick about half a mile long on a bone dry road, I ended up on the pavement completely out of control on a 'Blade, somehow managed to save it and wondered if it was the bus in the far distance who caused it, sure enough it was. I stopped him and told him what he had done, he didn't seem that bothered but said he would phone the recovery service and get another bus out, so I went round the corner to home. Only to return to the spot 2 minutes later and saw a large puddle of diesel where he had stopped and a 4 ft wide trail disappearing down the road where he had carried on.
I hit a cat once going through Stratford on the way to the Bullddog Bash one year, hit the front wheel and I had a little wobble, no problem, my mate said that it couldn't have felt a thing, well, not from the neck down anyway. ____________________ M.O.B. Successfully taking the piss since 2014. |
