I just got back from a canyon ride with a few buddies, and my friend in front of me plowed into a deer. I was behind him when two of them came out and ran across the highway, he missed one but hit the second one. My friend slid across the pavement; and later we found out he broke his collarbone. He spent the rest of the day in the hospital and his bike is smashed up pretty good.

I once hit a small dog when I first started to ride, I’m glad it wasn’t a Great Dane.

So I was just wondering, what has been the craziest thing you’ve ever hit on your bike? (cars ok too).
 
hope your mate gets fixed up soon,
ive never hit anything other than the side of a car. i aim for old people but keep missing.
 
i managed to 'catch' a seagull.

in both arms

at 60mph

i hit it with my chest and my natural reaction was to just grab it. very humerous after the event but i nearly shat at the time

sea gulls are big
 
i have a list of bike "episodes"

CONFIRMED HITS

-A dozen birds.....
<

(the ones that fly; not "girls", don't wanna confuse my UK buddies.
<
)

-3 dogs.....
(one big enough to send me and bike sliding for 100 meters)

-A couple cats .....
(kinda quick those kitties)
<


-1 Coyote.....hit him dead center at 90mph....
(coyote spit, guts, blood, and poop all over his not mine)
...didn't go down??
<


CLOSE CALLS

-Many near misses with deer.... (thank god, cause they're big round here)

-26.5 kids.... 10 black kids, 8 mexican kids, 7 crackers, and 1 of those
freaking gingers
<
...

I'll learn to drive a car at a later stage in life!
 
My greatest hits are a bat on the visor, a pheasant on the shoulder and a jaywalker. (I forgot my tent was sticking out, oopS!)

old people are the WORST of them all!!!!
<
just because they have all the time of the world, doesn't mean I, and with me all the other people at age 16 to 49, have it too!!
<


since I've only been riding a car for like, 14 weeks now, I've only hit a couple of shrubs and almost 1 tree, not bad huh
<


but like you all know, I can say I stood still with the car at a place you all haven't stand and don't want to stand still
<
<
 
Most notable would be the countless trash cans standing innocently on the sidewalk, plus there's several lamp posts. Near misses: drivers/riders who don't know how to use the signal lights.

I hope it's your hangover
<
<


what I meant is this: I stood still on the highway in one of my first drivingslessons, like you all know ofcourse
<
I know you all haven't stopped in the middle of the highway, and will never try to stand still at that dangerous place
<


hope it does make sence now, if not, I'll try to explain it again
<
 
Oh, snap! You stood still in the middle of the highway?!?! You're ridiculous! Did the car break down or did you have to do it?

And I understand what you're saying now.
Ridiculousness to the max!

Hmm that's funny

You don't ride a car! you ride a bike! and you drive a car

Lets see, in my motocross days it would be landing on another rider coming off a double jump. Broke my finger, cracked some ribs and hyperextended my knee in that one. Also in my motocross days, the ground....alot. Does that count?

Streetbike, the back of a pick up truck going down the highway while the back of my VFR is sideways trying to keep from being crushed between the truck and dumba driver behind the truck not paying attention to the slowing traffic. My clutch lever was rubbing the side of this guys truck while I was between him and another car on the highway scrubbing off speed. The whole time I could feel the exhaust from the truck on my leg and see the driver of the truck in his side mirror with his eyes as wide as all get out. I think it scared him more than me. All of this happened on a stretch of highway we call Death Valley! in North Carolina. Always pay attention guys and gals as to who's around you when your riding.

it was my fault
<
my instructor started to ask me questions in the first lesson I had to switch gears on my own. he was talking and talking and distrecting me -> I moved my right food to the clutch to change gears and touched the brakes instead of the clutch

oh well, we dutch say: ik rij in een auto ( I ride in a car) but driving is ok with me too; you understood what I tried to say, right???
<
 
Right foot for the clutch?
Your driving stories keep amazing me! lol

Isn't it (going from left to right) clutch, brake, gas?
Or is it backwards? Just like the driving?

Opps never mind.
I read the other post and answered the question.
