A video request – birds

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.

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.

Funny and hurl-inducing at the same time! I've had June bugs hit my helmet and it sounds like getting hit with a bullet.

Yea, This guy's a f-in' idiot! If he would have been 2 seconds faster, that cage changing lanes ahead of him would have put him into the guard rail!

A guy in Fort Lauderdale (Riva Yamaha employee) was hit in the head by a bird while water testing a customers personal watercraft. It knocked him out and he drowned, unfortunately. Sad.

No life vest?

GSX-R1, like GSX-R6 or GSX-R7. Gixxer 1, Gixxer 6, Gixxer 7. IE, the 1000, 600, and 750 versions, respectively. There IS a hyphen in the name. Lack of appending a 'k' to the name is not squidly.

After all that, I dunno if he was a squid or not :twofinger

The video looks like its in Europe somewhere... maybe thats what they call it over there... I dunno, mine is called a ZZR-1400 in Japan. He's IS an Idiot for riding like that in traffic!

I found this thread and was nearly taken out by a bird... I was cruising along at about 80-85mph when a bird flew right down in front of me.. I had to hug the tank real quick to avoid the Bird splattering across the side of my helmet... All I think about now is god that might have hurt and what a freaking mess it would have been to clean up... Not a way I would like to be taken out on a bike thats for sure..
