Strictly Street Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 What is it with you and birds? I had thought the one trying to land on your head at a stop light would have been enough bird weirdness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmutt Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Too bad it wasnt a vultureless turkey, would have been a good score then! Turkey vultures just seem like they would be too chewy and nasty. Glad ya missed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.htmlAnd 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.

OsuMj Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 You guys are lucky you didn't get hurt, my sister's bf hit one in his F250 and it busted through the grill and messed up the intercooler, and coated his truck in feathers and poo. gross.
