Beaver ran out in front of me last summer. Missed him with the front tire but his head took the full brunt of my my rear brake reservoir. Almost snapped it in half. Rear tire then proceeded to run over the rest of his body. Came within an inch of bucking me off my bike.

When I was learning to ride, a baseball size rock. the only thing in the intersection, out in the middle of nowhere. Nothing around any place and I was looking at it when I was turning left from a stop. tried to go around it but could not because I was looking at it. Kept the bike up, but lesson 1 from the school of hard knocks. Hey stupid, where I look is where I'm going.

I don't care who you are! That's funny right there!

I hit a seagull on my Kawasaki KZ1000 back in the 70's. It wrapped around my right side mirror and splatter blood, guts, and feathers all over me and my bike. What a mess!
