never hit an animal, but following a friend, he hit a rat and shot its guts back at my bike. Made him wash it off also.

Very first night trip with new road king, I hit an armadillo square in his pooper as he was running down the hwy....I just knew I was going down, but I hit him so square I bounced over him......

Maybe a month later while headed home from work at midnight a truck n front of me trowed a fresh hit skunk straight into my forks above my fender.....Me n the scoot were splattered with skunk guts and stink...That's when I discovered hydrogen peroxide removes skunk smell.

I too had a semi tire fly off in front of me when I lived in San Diego. I was right behind it when the rear left exploded and the tread went right over my head. VERY lucky that day. I learned quick not to follow trucks...especially if they're headed in the direction of Mexico on the 5 or 805.

Here in NC, other than deer, are the logging trucks. Ever get stuck behind a log truck carrying fresh cut pine trees? Bark all over the F'n place. I try to pass as quick as possible or back off.

Deer the worst.
The most disgusting coming up behind a garbage truck.
It was NOT rain as I first thought

I hit a deere at 65 mph last June 19th. Never saw him till I hit him. Had the life flash before your eyes the whole thing slid 175 down the road. Took 10 days just to be able to walk. But was extremely lucky no broken bones just spraing my left anke and right knee and road rashed both cheeks(Damn assless chaps) When I was livin in Copperas Cove Texas had to dodge an Armadillo once that would'nt have been good either.

Cool

Got off duty at midnight and was passing a farm animal sale barn when I noticed a "flash" on the center line ahead of me. I then noticed "flash" was the center line disappearing when a 1700# show bull who got loose from the barn, crossed it while running down the center of the road!!!!!! He I noticed this at about 50 feet as he went to the side of the road as I passed at about 55mpg!!!!!!!! Was almost a 600# suppository!!!!!
