It's certainly nothing to crow about....
Is it really an adventure bike if its wheels never see dirt?

It's three years since our neighbour Ian died after hitting a pigeon with his face.  I never really understood how that could kill him until going to Silverstone early on Sunday morning, I hit a sparrow at around 70mph.  It hit just at the top of my visor - one hell of a bang, some feathers and a cricked neck.  A pigeon I don't want to contemplate. :roll:

Well no wonder.  You were on the wrong side of the road.  The poor seagull was looking the other way. :lol:

Sorry to hear about your neighbour,

I got hit in the shoulder chest once by a thrush that few out of the hedge, I was travelling about 50mph,  thought I had broken my ribs, or puncutred a lung, but I was just winded.
The force was enough to rip my hand off the clutch side of the bars.

Sorry to hear about neighbor.  For learning purposes... do you know any more detail of what took his life, the head thrown back by projectile pigeon, hitting the ground after being ripped of the bike by force of pigeon, or loosing control of the bike and then crashing?  

What was he wearing in general?  Full, half or no ATGATT?, Helmet or no helmet, ???

My condolences to his family.  Life randomly deals hard blows to good and bad equally.
