More birds than I can count. Tail of a dog on my shin...that hurt. Racoon. Never two in one day though.

Back in 82 was coming home late at night and a dog ran out from behind a bush. Broke my right hand and put a hole in my right knee from the SU carb I had on it. A bad night for me and the dog.

Hit a coon at about 40mph, and a possum at about 60mph. No damage either time, just a... thump-thump.

I hit three birds that were sitting on the road (little ones thank God) They took off too late to get altitude before we got there. 75 MPHish into the windshield and my wife waited a few seconds then said, "I bet they don't feel so good." She was trying to say she thought they were ill and couldnot fly fast, but I almost crashed laughing.

Dead deer=broken bones

I hit a deer at 60 mph on my Kawasaki 550. Killed the deer totaled my bike and I broke 9 bones. After 8 years and no bike I have been riding now for 3 years and have over 35,000 miles on.

Hit a moose when I was living in Vermont, but fortunately it was in my truck and at low speed. Even with a 10-15 mph hit there was $1800 damage.

Actually got dive-bombed by a turkey while riding but I was able to slow down and miss the kamakazi attack.
