Titanium Cranium Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 I think the craziest bird strike I've seen happen was at a CCS race in Phoenix at Firebird raceway. A friend of mine sat up just at his braking marker at the end of the long straight (where you're going about 170) and took a small bird straight to his head that was flying across the track. The corner worker said that the bird exploding in mid-air like that was pretty funny though. Patrick was fine and laughed about the whole thing but he had a nice mess to clean up on his helmet.

Likwid Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 lol, I haven't had any bird strikes yet... but on the highway I hit a junebug or something... RIGHT in the middle of my visor...I swear to you, there wasn't a part of the visor that didn't have bug guts on it... I almost threw up in my helmet, then almost wrecked.

RVTPilot Posted April 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Why did the bird have to be black? Fucking racist (glad you're ok)!:lol:It must have been my conical white helmet that scared him up from the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGTL GRL Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Glad you're okay. I thought maybe Big Bird wasn't getting paid enough and had decided it was time to strike. Better to hear that you're okay. Screw that bird! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVTPilot Posted April 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Thanks, D'GRL. It was weird. I wasn't freaked out, wasn't hit too hard, and really just laughed it off. I guess it could have been more serious, but it wasn't so I haven't sat here saying "wow! am I lucky!" Its just one of those things that comes along with riding. But yes, screw that bird!
