There's a guy on the FZ6 forum that got one with his windscreen and his helmet at 60 mph.

Yep, them some big birds! I tried to log in and share my video there, then I realized

it was the FZ6 forum and not the FZ6R forum that I belong to lol.

Feel free to link my vid in there.

Yeah I remember ducking out of instinct but when I watched the video I saw

that he didn't fly over me, just scooted in front of me. I thought for sure I was gonna nail him lol.

The guy I was riding with almost him too cause apparently he went right back to his meal after I

passed, my friend was a few seconds behind me.

I was out on 56 yesterday afternoon between 3 & 6. Don't remember seeing any turkey vultures, but we passed deer standing by the side of the road two different times!

who was it on here who hit a turkey earlier this year? lol i remember it happening, just dont remember who it was

That was me. Bike is back together and has a little over 500 miles on it since the accident. When I get home I will throw up the links for the pictures of my bird encounter.

Edit: here is a link for the bike rebuild. http://www.ducati.ms/forums/77-sport-classic/142461-bike-rebuild.html

And all my pics on photobucket of the accident damage. http://s267.photobucket.com/albums/ii281/vf1000ride/bike%20accident/

Edit#2: Fixed the photobucket link so it is the full site and not the mobile version.
