Birdstrike at 250km/h

Looks like a pheasant. Find this quite remarkable. I had a duck-size bird of prey hit me on the shoulder a few years ago when I was going 220+ on my Suzuki. Looking at the pictures I'm even more surprised that I managed to stay on the bike back then.

BTW 'Hier' = 'here' :P

I hope you did not get injured. Unbelieveable.

C'mon, this has been doing the rounds for over a year now. I thought everyone had seen it by now...

Obviously not...

@happy911: if you are talking about my bike incident back then - yes I went away okay. My shoulder hurt for a few weeks and my leather clothes looked about the same as the seats in the Boxster. People were staring at me quite a bit when I pulled off at the next gas station :eek:

Guess I looked like Jason after a hard night of slaughter :P

happened to me on my ducati..a seagull hit the left hand headlight and just disintergreted, i saw the **** thing coming at me in like slow motion before it hit, but couldnt do anything to avoid it because of the high speed...i suppose it commited suicide. i looked like a butchers shop front window after that...had to use a pressure wash at the gas station to get everything of my leathers helmet and bike, and pooh what a smell!! :eek:
