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. Crying or Very sad 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.

Just remembered, took out a feral cat in Corfu once, on a rentascooter with the missus on the back. This thing just shot out from the side of the road and I went straight over it, both wheels, just managing to stay upright. Pulled over and were rooting around trying to find it, to no avail. A group of elderly locals were sat outside a bar sipping ouzo, nearly wetting themselves laughing at the entertainment (the Cats Protection League not having a big presence on the Greek islands). Eventually we established that the cat had shot off up the nearby hill as if its arse was on fire, and vanished.

I've never run over anything on the bike (well, not any critters)
A bumble bee once splatted me in the face and stung me, the little furry toe-rag. But that's all.

You're a lucky man. I once hit a badger in an Audi Quattro and it removed the front valance, the lower half of the radiator and the sump.

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.

I've hit a bat with the R1200 before, was only doing 20 or so though and I'm pretty sure it just flapped away somewhere.

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.

Hit a Cow on my NSR125 in the new forrest Laughing

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 Neutral ).

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 Laughing

I hit a pigeon last summer... the thing flew out a hedge right into my shin... Felt like a soft football hit me through my rst adventure boots...

Even though it was only a pigeon still made me feel pretty shit...

A few weeks ago dad hit a munkjack deer :/ I saw it coming and tried to warn dad... he didnt even see the thing. it just walked off the verg and right into the path of the car... This was at night. I didnt see any blood but dads bumper was totally destroyed.

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.

I have, didn't really run it over, it made a leap through my front wheel, it didn't end well for the rabbit.
Found a dead sparrow lodged between the radiator and the radiator guard on my LC.
A bat decided to fly into my right shoulder, on a summer's evening, while out on my YPVS.
Ran over an elderly gent who was wandering around in the middle of the road, fortunately for him I was on a 125 at the time!

I have not hit anything interesting.. a small bird once. Things have hit me, most notably was this humungous shit that fell from a tree

https://i1133.photobucket.com/albums/m593/Kramdra/IMG_20150826_173819_zpsonwvx1xb.jpg~original

I have no idea what kind of beast dropped it but very thankful that it only hit the bike. Photo was taken many hours later after rain washed most of it off.

Firstly, I didn’t know muntjacs were hard or could even fight Shocked ! Or that they were crap at riding bikes?

Surely bring back fox hunting, far more humane than the current poisoning method.

Nope.

Just an excuse for posh twats to get their sick jollies.

If you need to kill foxes, shoot them.
