It's finally happened :(

[Lawrence]

Got my licence about 2 months ago and started commuting into London every day, and the inevitible has finally happened   Saw it coming but didn't have a chance to avoid it, just came straight at me and what with it being wet and lots of traffic about I couldn't do anything.
 
Yes, I got shat on by a bird while riding down the A12  Bloody seagulls

Bad luck my friend. I got hit by a large load of Pigeon poo the other day. It hit the chin bar of my lid and then my chin and neck, i nearly threw up?

[snapper]

bird poo is nothing wait till you hit a pigeon doing slightly more than you should be 
 
I had an interesting shaped tatoo acrossed my chest for a few days !  poo you can clean off !

[Lawrence]

Ouch     I bet that hurt!

[snapper]

"Ouch     I bet that hurt!"
 
 your not kidding , I nearly lost the bike just managed to hold on to the bars with my fingertips !
 
then sat at the road side for a while , I darent move to start though I had broken my ribs !
 
Just wish I had taken a picture of my chest !
 the bird hit me head on ! and you could see the imprint of the head and were it was turning mid flight away from me
 
head and wings shaped bruise

I got twatted by a pigeon on the shoulder doing 40 filtering through traffic on the A2.
 
For some reason, I thought it would see me and adjust it's course. The damn bird should have gone to spec savers!

[snapper]

I wouldnt mind so much if the flipping bird hadnt hit me hit the ground then just flew of like nothing had happend !

Nah, mine lay on the floor, flapped about a bit then got squished by a bus following me.

I hit one last week at 120. It just burst into feathers, deflected off my screen and knocked my right hand side mirror so far round I thought it had broken it. Don't know what happened to the bird but I think it was terminal

I'm sure we all appreciate your efforts to help the evolution of pigeons with road sense.


I've been lucky, the largest direct hit I've had was a collared dove (about half the weight of a pigeon) on the chin of my helmet at 40mph. Nasty jolt to the neck, that.
A pheasant hit the handlebar when I was on my GPZ305 many years ago and that very nearly had me in the ditch...  fortunately, the only damage was a crack on the fairing, but at least I got a meal out of the bird.
Swans have a habit of flying across the M3 at Teddington at a very low altitude, that makes me kinda nervous... those things are fecking big!

Sheep are mad they look at you as you approach you can see them thinking should I or shouldn't I mmmmmmmmmmmmm feck it then dive in front of you

[GringoRojo]

Seagulls, or should I say Shitehawks, in Scarborough are a real danger. makes the inside of your lid a bit wiffy.

I hit a badger square in the guts when I was doing just over 20mph on my mountain bike once, that stopped the bike dead, I then preceded to act like superman and flew over the bars and down the road.

" I then preceded to act like superman and flew "
