Another Owl

[sonny]

Happened again two nights ago. Been doing twelve's again at work and dog tired and exhausted coming out of Tulsa on a back road around 3:00 Am was keeping a eye open for deer and coyotes. Out of no where a big and i do mean big Owl is coming at me around chest level while riding the bike. WTF if i had not ducked it would have nailed me. This is the second time this has happened to me while riding home from work. A little over a year ago same near miss. Never had this problem until riding the Rocket. Kind of nerve racking

I had a pidgeon hit me in the face from take off, I was doing 30 mph I guess. Had I been on the feet foward type rocket rather than the roadster I would have gone over the rear with the force(and im almost 22 stone)

You need to get a CIWS.

Birds can be a problem. It's documented in this video.

Once got hit by a pheasant - I was doing 60mph. It felt like I'd been hit with a baseball bat across the chest. Or a frozen turkey shot from a cannon. Mate of mine got hit by a bat - It's sonar must of been stuffed.

I have found bats smashed on different locations on the bike at times. Nasty looking creatures.
