It's finally happened :( - Lawrence - 03-07-12
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

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!

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. :lol
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!

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.
