Badger vs triumph rocket touring

After reading some of your posts we have bears , armadillos, wild boar roos and possums. If we had all these in the UK I would be sh## scared to go out of my front door !. The only thing that can cause you any grief here are cold callers trying to sell you something you dont want ( vermin they are. )
 

At tarago on the way home from batemans bay at about 3am I passed a wombat on the road I couldn't believe how big it was

Speaking of things that hurt. I can remember once getting hit in the face by a bee at about 50mph, on one of my earlier japanese two stroke motorbikes, it felt like half a brick .ever since anything above 40mph I tend to drop the visor down.
 
Yep. Back in the early 70's, hit one of those yellow/brown grass hoppers bare chested. Felt like a brick.
 
Unfortunately

Our unit lost a rider in NJ last weekend. Leaving work at night and riding home, struck a deer...not sure of too many details other than neither he nor the deer survived.
Reminds me why I don't care much for riding at night (particularly country roads), and why I slow down to a crawl at night if I'm within 20 miles of a cornfield!

A toast to another lost rider! :bch: Stay safe my kindred spirits!
 
I've had some close calls, but been lucky so far. But my cousin was riding my Intruder 1400 at night, and hit a 5 foot alligator. Luckily he didn't go down, unfortunately the gator got away.
 
My cousin loaned his first r3 to his best
mate several years ago up at tincan bay .unfortunately for him he was diverted from the road and struck a large tree
They went looking for him and found his lifeless body at the base of the tree. Really sad as he left behind a wife and and a young family
 
hit an owl years ago on my 72 bonne shattered the headlight broke blinker off swung around **** thing grabbed the inside of my leg couple inches below the parts most important to me **** THAT HURT
