RE: Critter Hitters
Who hasn't if they have ridden for any length of time. There was a dog years ago that would run out from behind a bush as I motored up the street to my house. It always startled me big time, but I always forgot about it. One day, I was ready for that beast. He would run at me then turn just as he got next to me and run alongside, barking all the time. On that day, when he ran at me, I swerved just enough to throw his timing off, and caught him on the snout with my crash bar. Never saw him again after that.

RE: Critter Hitters
Been lucky I guess. Only thing I couldn't avoid was a groundhog, killed him outright and no damage to me or the bike. Also had a run in with a deer, sunabish ran out on me and saw me about the time I saw him I reckon. He went into a baseball slide and I ran over his hoof. Thank you Lord.

Nailed a squirrel once, at 70 mph with the wife on the back, he ran out, dodged back then right back under us, hardly felt it. Also ran straight over an armadillo , that was a wake up call , I was riding to work at about 430 am.

RE: Critter Hitters
Im on my way to work one morning. I come around a corner at about 45. Sure enough, about 8 baby kittens eatin some road kill. I go left to go around, so do they. I go right, so do they, all I hear is reeeooowwwwwww. I think I got 2. Look in the rear view and see a couple rollin around. I tell the guys at work. One rides a Valkyrie. He says, sure enough, you must be a Harley rider cuz you are a kitty killer. I laugh and go about my day.[sm=badbadbad.gif]
