Glad to hear that you're ok Tom, but it seems to me that you provoked the bird by grabbing the horn. I'm calling PETA!!! They'll be in touch....

Ran over two geese walking accross a road down towards Cocoa...was at night, lifted the back of the bike off the road. My daughter was riding with me and she asked "What was that?"....I just said...."Nothing Honey." (She would have cried at me killing them...).
Wild life!

You have no idea how close I came to having the same thing happen to me about three weeks ago. My son and I were out for ride heading towards Cocoa on the 528 and a damn suicidal turkey did the same exact thing, and you are right they do look like a 747 when you are about to hit one. Glad you are ok, it definitely could have been much worse.
