We had a serious single-vehicle motorcycle crash in my neck of the woods a few years ago. The guy lost control of his bike after he hit a wild turkey. Seriously. When you’re on the losing end of an encounter like that, it’s time to give some thought to giving up the idea of riding a motorcycle.
... The guy lost control of his bike after he hit a wild turkey.
I hit a deer once, at 50mph
Then there's one who got mad at me when he slammed on his brakes merging onto I-20 during rush hour. I was trying to enter the on-ramp to I-635 and I got closer to him than he thought I should.
All he had to do was accelerate to an open spot, instead of braking. That's one advantage motorcycles have, quick acceleration.
A friend of mine hit a deer while on a bike.
Really screwed him up.
