How about wild turkey??? Some dude (Souldrider, on supersportbike.com forums) had one run out in front of him. Or a little yappie annoying dog (not sure what breed)? The little terror ran infront of me while I was taking a corner... good thing I took it slow around 20km/h (suggested 25km/h corner) and wouldn't let me past! Although, once I did get past, it chased me as i took off lol
Copped a bee to the face the first day I got my bike... At the time I guess I wouldn't have been able to tell whether it was a bee or wasp or something... until I felt this "crawling" sensation on my face under my helmet. I thought "Oh no! he's gonna be PISSED that I ran into him!" and was expecting the sting any moment.. (and wondering just HOW painful a bee sting to the left side of my face would be...) When he crawled out! I had a quick look down (was still going ~40Km/h) and saw him struggle out onto my helmet, and fall off... Lucky for me - when he impacted with me, his abdomen (and stinger) was completely crushed/vaporized, so he couldn't have stung me <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s --> I got home ok and checked my helmet etc... But I had a big red mark on my face for the next couple of hours <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s --> Next time I went out I had the visor waaaay down <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s --> -Muzza
Yep that has unfortunately happened as well. I also recall a cat after rereading the post below. <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.fzr250.com/viewtopic.php?t=1251&highlight=pedestrian">viewtopic.php?t=1251&highlight=pedestrian</a><!-- l -->
