I had the bird experience as well. Was on my Road King, no windshield. Doing 65 on a Fl road. Saw what looked like a paper bag ahead in the road, bag turned out to be a large bird that flew up as the bike approached,thumpin me square in the chest. Felt like someone socked me . Bird popped off me,and the pick-up behind me finished the bird with his grill. Was quite sore for a few days.

I hit a monkey once, but he was drunk, all monkeys turn into ******** when they drink.

Bird to the side of my face (hurt) and a cat that made the wrong decision to cross the road at the last moment (meow followed by Ka-thump) but i was able to pull over soon after both times.

Went over a deer that had already been hit. Was in a heavy rain storm at night and didn't see it until to late. Bounced over it, and enjoyed the smell of cooking hide on the pipes for the next few miles. Buddy behind me followed right over too, lol.

With my bike, no. With my Jeep, yes.
