I would have to say bats. Three of’em so far, #1 hit under the right edge of the bill on my MX helmet. #2 hit me dead center of my full face, almost went down on that one. #3 hit my left mirror then slid down the post and just sit on my hand hanging on for about 1\/4 mile before it fell off.<\/p>\n
1. an entire pallet of canned Coke in the fast lane when I lived in China.
\n2. a bale of straw in the fast lane on 287 around NYC at about 70 mph.
\n3. a front bumper off a 78 T-bird in the middle lane of 287.
\n4. a guy taking a dump beside the road in WVa. He was in the apex of a real nice curve…
\n5. another rider… I was working thru traffic, passing buses, etc in the Alps. I thought he saw me, but he didn’t. His helmet caught my hand gaurd on the GS with a slight tap. His eyes were about as big as saucers. I shouldn’t have been in his lane, but I thought he saw me. Assume….. makes an ASS out of U and ME.<\/p>\n
I was riding south on I-77 behind a pickup truck when the mattress that was in the bed of the truck flew up and over my head. whew!<\/p>\n
1) A live turkey, back roads, Austell, GA. Spun me around but I did not go down.<\/p>\n
2) Aluminum Ladder, I-285 Atlanta. Kinda jumped it, should have wrecked but didn’t.<\/p>\n
3) A steel nut, about 2 inches in diameter, straight to the chest (thought it stopped my heart it hit so hard) I-285 Atlanta<\/p>\n
4) Muffler and attached exhaust pipe, 575 near Canton, GA. No wreck<\/p>\n
5) Water melon, I-75 near Valdosta. Almost, and I mean almost but no wreck.<\/p>\n
6) Wooden pallet (empty) East\/West Connector, Austell, GA. Scared me shitless.<\/p>\n
7) A helmet, unstrapped and blew off another rider in front of me, Daytona. No wreck.<\/p>\n
8) German Shepherd, near Bo-Bo’s house. No wreck but torn up a guys fresh grass stopping it.<\/p>\n
Weirdest I have heard, guy from Earl Smalls Harley Davidson in Marietta, Ga was headed to the Hard Rock Cafe in Atlantawith a group of bikes. I-75 south after dark. He hit an upside down wheelbarrow tub that already had the wheels and supports knocked off. Was almost a perfect ramp. Said he was about 8 feet off the ground, got some good distance and landed without crashing. LOTS and LOTS of damage to the bike.<\/p>\n
OK. You get the picture. Go check it out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
This is too good not to come back to. I told last time about some flying objects I’ve encountered and the whole topic was raised by a posting I saw on a motorcycle forum. Here’s a link to that forum. You’ll find it just as fascinating and entertaining as I do: http:\/\/www.advrider.com\/forums\/showthread.php?t=145779 Here’s a sampling […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,25],"tags":[15,30],"class_list":["post-31","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-biker-issues","category-safety","tag-motorcycle","tag-motorcycle-forum"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/motorcyclecolorado.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/motorcyclecolorado.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/motorcyclecolorado.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/motorcyclecolorado.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/motorcyclecolorado.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/motorcyclecolorado.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/motorcyclecolorado.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/motorcyclecolorado.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/motorcyclecolorado.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
