First bike, riding with my mouth open in June. Got a June bug right down the throat. Lesson learned, never ride with your mouth open.

Same bike, same year I got hit in the shoulder by a big bird. It almost caused me to dump the bike.

WORST THING EVER: I rode to work on my bike and the battery died at work. I got a jump start and tried to make it home. It was a hot day and I was wearing a full length Oil Skin jacket due to the threat of rain (that never came). I was sweating my cheeks off and quite vividly remember saying to myself "my day could not get any worse" No sooner than I said it a seagull took a HUGE #$%* that hit me right in the face. I was doing about 65 at the time so the #$%* blasted right up my nose and right down my throat. True story. No sooner did that happen, my bike died. So there I was on the side of the highway with a broken bike and a belly full of seagull #$%*. I was wrong, my day could get worse.

Back when I was young dumb and full of.....you figure it out.
I went to the local bar on my gpz with the intention of getting laid.
I saw this sexy babe hanging around all the so called tough guys and decieded to take on the pool player that seemed to be impressing her.
I dont play pool by the way but I kicked his ass pissed him off and had to gtfo.
Surpisingly she wanted to leave with me and loved bikes.
So here I am in heaven,shes holding me around the waist and all is good....until.
I take the left turn to get on the highway and lay into the throttle and I see these orange and white stripped construction barrels to my right and left and since it was 3am I didn't notice the heavy cable attached to both that where in my path.
I was doing about 70 mph at the time when that cable hit my forks.I had to keep the bike upright and her safe as I had intentions.
I still have back and neck pain 25 years later.
Now I know what a fighter pilot must feel when he lands on the carrier.
Today I had a large draggonfly hit me in the forehead.
As far as the girl,she was way to freaky for me I tend to like things I can fix.

june bugs,
hornets inside the coat while at speed
but the worst was while riding a GSX1100 at excessive speed hit a blackbird with my faceshield,
because I did not want it to hit my girlfriend on the back,
split it in half and almost passed out while actually seeing stars.

Almost hit a blue heron that was flying by my house 3 feet above the road, around a curve.
(there are 5 ponds below my house next to the road that ducks, geese and herons like to fish in)
Not sure how I missed it.

Havn't hit anything remarkable yet, but last summer I had to duck to get under a hawk that came out of the ditch on a corner. I am not sure how i missed it, Damn it was close.

Gravel blowing out of a semi filled over the top. My brother would say Brick wall, his other choice was a dump truck.

I think a Blue Heron will ruin your day, They're huge and tough. I wouldn't want to hit one with a car.

few yeaars ago, me and a pal out riding. i was doing about 90 on my old gs500e in the twisties in the forestry ahead of him. all of a sudden....WHACK!!!!!!! hit square in middle of chest by a large cicada killer. my pal heard the impact and thought i had been shot. was only wearing a t shirt. the impact almost took me off the back of the bike right in front of my buddy. i hit the brakes and slid into the grass hard and layed there thinking i had been shot until he came over and saw the big bug splattered across my chest.

A good size rock out of the back of a dump truck with an uncovered load. Best guess is that it was about 2 inches round I was going 65mph hanging back about 150 yards on a two lane double yellow highway. Thing just bounced up off the road I put my chin down as it was coming right at my facesheild. Damn thing cracked my nice AGV helmet (loved that helmet too).

on the 4th of July i was going about 55 down a major road and a wasp managed to sting me in the neck. i'm pretty sure it attacked me on purpose because i saw it come at me from across the road. don't know what kind it was, but it was big. 2 miles later, i feel something stabbing me in the ribs, and realized that somehow that ^%$(* had gotten down my shirt. stung me 2 times before i could pull over, but must have gotten out because he was gone by the time i did the "wasp down my shirt OW OW OW" dance in the U-haul parking lot i was in, where 3 guys were looking at me like i was on crack. i shouted "WASP!" as an explanation and they all started nodding and going "oohhhhh ... yeah..... " hahahaha.

That sounds like a show stopper Jerry.

By far....rain. Because when it rians and you are wearing an open face helmet, you can't get out of it too easily.

That it is

2001. Good eye! Took such a good hit (totalled the van) I bought another Fattie.

8/8/2002. Custer State Park near Sturgis, SD on my 51st and damn near my last birthday. Had geared up maybe 5 minutes prior with rain gear and full face helmet due to a quick strong thunderstorm with hail. Minding my own business, look up and see the van's front wheels lock up on wet road. Freeze frame slo-mo. Seemed like it was 100 yards away but he was just on the other side of the stripe. Didn't even have time to pucker my bunghole. I saw maybe 3 or 4 frames. Head on my side of the road into the bumper as you can see the bend. Snapped my left forearm like a twig, blew out my wrist, 4 ribs and a cracked/crushed left heel. Bounced off the hood (broken windshield & see the dent), did a backwards somersault, landed on my head upside down, my leg flopped down and my heel hit. No blood. Out like a lamp. I hear my 5yo daughter's voice say "wake up daddy" and I opened my eyes. I thought "holy #$%*, what's the big deal going on". Saw my arm and my bike. Guy in teal shirt was attending to me. He had my arm splinted before the ambulance got there - less than 10 minutes. My buddy was right behind me and went down but didn't get hit.
