Lol can't wait for OSP to chime in... with his Decoy story


mine isn't really a run over but more a run into... I've hit a bird with my shoulder... dunno what kind it flew in Kamikaze style and hit my right shoulder and went flipping through the air.

A standard size plastic trash can fell off the back of an overloaded truckbed...

And if you can call it strange, I ran over my best friend at the time on a MX track. We were "racing" and he jumped ahead only to throw it away and he fell in front of me, bike off to the side while I was all mid-air. Had to land where I had to land... No injuries sustained at least.

A 5 gallon metal gas can full of gas. My bud on his chopper drilled it with his front peg, busting it open and sent it spinning towards me. All while in a corner at 11pm in the middle of no where.

Well so there is this spinning leaking metal gas can heading right for me. I have another rider behind me. The can passes between my front tire and the front of the frame and I smoke it with my right floor board. It splashes my right leg with gas and flings into the ditch.

Whew....

Hell. I would have scraped a peg just to see the blaze.


A week ago I ran over a still juicy animal. Luckily no nasty left overs on the bike.

I had a 4x8 plywood fly up in the air after my brother ran over it in his truck. If I hadnt ducked my head, i probably wouldnt be here.

She's too big. She has no incline angle so it would be like hitting a wall.

That sounds like the squirrel I almost got. I was coming home from work on a nice twisty road when a squirrel ran out. I wasn't trying to hit it but wasn't going to crash avoiding it.

It ran from the right side of the road and I left my left boot toe hit it's tail. It continued on it's way to the other side of the road.


I've hit numerous birds ( I really like my armored gear ) and some really nasty bugs. I remember one time I had just flipped down my visor when I hit a big ass bug that splattered all over my visor.

When I was young, dumb and "squidly", I was riding in a loose fitting tank top. I was doing about 70 mph when I rear ended a wasp in my left nipple. To say that hurt would be a gross understatement.

I locked up both tires and ripped what was left of the back end of the wasp out. I had a hollow spot there for a month.

Back when I was in my early teens, I was over at the neighbors and we were taking turns on his Yamaha 100 dirt bike going around the corn field.

He took extra long the one lap and when he came back, he was all dirty and scratched up from crashing. Turns out as he was going down next to the field, a groundhog ran out and started down the trail. He got the brilliant idea to run it over. Only problem was the front wheel "washed" out to the side as he ran it over and he crashed hard
