Roadkill at 28 mph

I'm glad you weren't hurt!!! But, I think this is a great learning experience of "watch the road", not the mirror or the side of the road for 'returnables'!
Going over the bars at 28 MPH can mess up your whole day!!!

Years ago I was riding my MC down a dirt road and a squirrel ran right in front of me, nailed that little guy with both tires and I'll be dammed if he didn't get up and run off to the other side of the road!

i used to live and work at a ski resort...some days we would have elk on the trail...we all used to just blow right thru them...till one day one moved...man that was bad...some serious injuries there....so as was originally posted glad it wasnt a deer

I hit a poor squirrel in my car a few years ago. I looked in the rearview mirror to see if he made it and I immediately saw a crow coming down for "dinner". Either this was a fortunate crow or one that had learned to watch the road.?

I talked to the Midway B.C. RCMP last year--i came on a guy killed on his motorcycle laying dead on the road-the police said in that area they have 2-3 motorcycle deaths a year there are so many deer -its natural grasslands and few people-when going there to visit my son i am extra careful and watchful. I think many people from city areas are unaware of these road hazards.

There are guys killed all the time hitting deer. I almost hit one in the city on an R6 a few years back - my first nose wheely at 60mph!
My wife was on her tri bike and fell at much less than 28mph dodging a dog. Took 3 surgeries to get her nose and collar bole back to normal.
I, myself, slid 85ft once and road rash is not fun..... or worth it!
I know I rant a lot about "the right way" to do things but these motorbikes are easy to acquire but are hardly toys.
It's not the expected things that cause the problems.

People flip suv's alot trying to avoid a rabbit or squirell...best to just take the critter out if it's the last second.

Here's a tip from a trucker: You can brake hard and you can turn hard most of the time but if you do both at once you are likely to flip that's usually why you see a flipped truck in a straight away.

Coons Are Hard To To Kill. I Have Ran Over Then With Cars And Pickups. Man, They Thumppity Thump Against The Frame, But Still Run Off. They Are Hard To See At Nite On The Blacktop Roads. Great Sport Hunting Them With Dogs. My Friend Was Bragging About The Coon Hound He Bought, Near $3000. I Went Out With Him One Nite. Way Off To Our Right He Got On A Hot Track. He Was Sounding Off Really Good Till He Was In Front Of Us But Still Aways Off. Then It Got Real Quiet. I Said, That Over Priced Mutt Lost The Track!! He Said, No I Don`t Think So, Just Wait A Bit. After A While The Dog Started Braying Again, Way Of To Our Left. I Said, What The He%% Is Going On?? With A Big Big Grin, He Says, That Dog Is So Smart, He Won`t Bark When He Is On Posted Land!! Ron

That dog is as smart as the monkey Jerry Clower told about.

I've almost hit 2 squirrels. I'm always afraid the little rat will survive the front wheel and grab my pant leg. Could you imagine having an angry squirrel running up you're leg while doing 25mph?
