I know it's off topic, but I saw this and had to link it for you guy's. Check it out... And beware of flying turkey's.

LOL... the turkey was dead at the scene.

Fry 'em up!

Do the turkeys have large talons?

 

I almost hit a pigeon on my R6 on the freeway once.. Some pretty scary ****

 

I once had a 3 foot long two by four get kicked up at me while I was riding my Nighthawk 750 on the freeway. There was nothing I could do but hold on really tight. It hit me straight across the chest and both biceps. Knocked the wind out of me and bruised me up really bad. I barely was able to pull off to the side of the freeway where I sat for about half an hour before I could finish the ride home. Of course, that was still nothing compared to the GMC 1500 4x4 that blew through an intersection at 80 MPH and nailed me almost directly head on... that one hurt a little bit more. 47 broken bones, countless cuts and bruises, 20 odd corrective surgeries and 6 months in the hospital. I would have much rather hit the turkey instead.

**** man glad u still alive. We feel for our brother Z car enthusiasts, like a family.

 

one of the guys i work with has a friend that took a pigeon in the chest...says it felt like sombody blasted him with a shotty...that would be summtin to see tho haha a pigeon...sheesh

 

Lol that would be funnier than hell to see that pigeon after that. My friend had a bird hit him on his bike and it left a huge *** bruise. lol

 

Thanks man, It was a long, long time ago... One of my two spectacular accidents that I should not have lived through. The other one was taking my older brother's cherry 1978 Triumph Spitfire off a 70 foor cliff at about 90 MPH. I learned a hard lesson about "Understeer" that day. Turned the car into a beer can and put myself back in the hospital for a long time with some pretty good internal injuries as well as having my front five top teeth ripped out of my mouth with the bone still attatched to them... that was some big fun there. Only took 3 surgeries to put my face back together. I drove a lot more conservatively after that one... Best part was that I got to remain completly conscious through both wrecks...

Damn Rod. That's crazy. All of this reminds of a MLB game. I forget who was playing but the pitcher threw a fast ball right as a bird was flying across his path and it literally exploded. All you saw was feathers. lol.

 

This is the bike I had up til last Nov.. I had hit a pigeon while on it once, and it scared the crap outta me...

 

L-Dub, you gotta link on that one. I gotta see that. That's too funny

 

damn Rod

glad you're still with us after all that

i don't know if i would still be into cars after a horrifying accident like that. i've always wanted a crotch rocket but i've known way too many people who have lost their lives at a very young age riding those. that is what has always stopped me from getting one

 

Thanks man.
Those both happened when I was a kid. They both also taught me a lot of respect for car's, motorcycle's and what they are capable of.

The link for the bird that got nailed with the baseball is www.ebaumsworld.com/birdball.html lol that is hillarious. Thanks for reminding me of that one.

 

Hey Carl's Z. nice bike Kawasaki rules. Honda, and yamaha suck ***.

Also 007 max, speaking of crotch rockets- www.ebaumsworld.com/dumbassbiker.html

 

How do you think the pigeon felt???

Rod.

 

Yeah, I'm sure he didn't feel to good about the whole thing either. I'm pretty sure he flew off, since I didn't see him hit the ground and I was only doing about 20MPH. He kinda just slid sideways off the fairing...Probably scared both of us pretty good...

 

watch this

 

OUCH!!!

 

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

Rod.

 

Damn... Looks like I've been down under too long! I haven't had a chance to check the board in a few days...
