Of all the weird and astounding videos I have seen here and elsewhere I have yet to see a bird vs. bike video. I find this odd because of the sheer volume of recording going on and the number of times I personally have almost hit a number of birds. Anyone have anything like this?

I seen a picture once of an eagle through the headlight of an R1

Now I have been around a lot longer than my stats indicate, I was here for about a year before the great SBN wipeout.
And Jiggly I have seen that picture, I think it was an owl?

 

[Jiggly]

maybe, It was very large and very brown but I thought it was an eagle

[JedoubbleSe]

here it is lol i still get a kick out of it had to suck to be the rider shit i hit a robin once and that hurt and cracked 3 ribs.

Still can't believe that none has a video of someone hitting a mocking bird or sparrow or something...

I wish I had the video of a hawk swooping down and nearly taking off some dudes head. 2 guys coming around a corner in what looked like the desert when a huge bird flying low grazes the dudes helmet as the guy ducks.

I had a bird hit me on the shoulder and almost made me crash.I was only going about 50 :fiddy

I've had a few narrow misses with birds here and there, and last week a wlid turkey the size of a moose decided to chill out just off the apex of one my favorite corners, but I've been lucky for the most part.

I did hit a locust the size of a sandwich pickle earlier today...made a damn omelette on my faceshield. I was doing about 90mph or so, and it felt like I'd been hit with a baseball bat. I can't imagine what that thing would have done to my face if I hadn't been wearing a full face helmet.

haha. i'm picturing someone riding a bike, and seeing this GIANT ASS grasshopper knock his head all the way backwards with a big ass mess on his shield. funny shit, not to make light of the event or anything.

Here's a thread from a guy who nailed a turkey on his bike.
Took the bastard home and ate it. :headbang

a friend of mine hit a bird while test riding a 05 MV Agusta F4 1000 last summer. part of the birds wing was in the ram air duct.

Video of guy hitting a bird, with some lane splitting to boot. Im not 100% sure if he really hit it or if the bird caught the current around the screen, but its close.
