A BIG German Shepperd dog! He made it to the curb then DIED, while I come off the bike and slid down the street, WITH MY BIKE SLIDING IN FRONT OF ME, and stopping at the curb. I spent 2wks. in the hospital and 4 months off work. Buzz Kill !!!!!

A dead kangaroo.
Doing 60 mph, saw the carcase emergy from beneath a four-wheeler. Stood up - hit the gas and heaved on the bars. Airborne - rear wheel landing. Just rode it out.
No issues but what an adrenalin rush.

To this day I don't know. It was at night, kinda tucked down behind the windshield, when all of a sudden bam. My front end bottoms out, my chin hits the tank, it almost knocked me out. I have no idea what it was.

I hit a good size cottontail doing between 110-115mph a 1984 Honda CB1100F bout 20 years ago on south 395. I swear the tires were off the ground for over 75ft. (1/2 second).
