Holy shit, that's a bad day to be that bird.

I'm suprised there's so little blood. When I saw a squirrel get hit by a car, it literally exploded.

It might have something to do with the thick layer of soft feathers.

My friend hit a crow that was sitting in the road when he came around the bend at 150mph on his CBR900, closely followed by me on my CBR600. The crow saw him and began to take off, only reaching about 3 feet up before my friend hit, there being no way to turn at that speed. Fortunately the older CBRs had lot of holes drilled in the fairing either side of the headlights, and the crow impacted there, breaking away that section of fairing quite cleanly while absorbing some of the blow. My friend managed to pull up alright with bad bruising on his hand where the bird had hit the clutch lever and smacked it off his fingers, but he was otherwise ok. The fairing cost £400+ to replace and the crow had a real bad day.

Nastiest has to be the guy and his girlfriend who showed up at our bike rally one evening in the highlands of Scotland, helmets literally covered in blood and entrails. It looked like they'd been headshot or something, but they were ok apart from a little shock. They'd been tearing across the Rannoch Moor when they'd intersected the same airspace as a large bat...

Yeah, I guess. Still, not seeing even one drop...

Oh well.

I can imagine the biker: "It's a bird! It's a plane! It's...oh wait, it was a bird."

It looks to have been an owl.

I like owls, they're cooler than most birds.

That must have really sucked for the person-- needless to say, the owl likely didn't enjoy it.

bah! I plowed into a pidgeon at 75 MPH on I-95 with my old Neon a few years back. The goddamn thing exploded on my bumper. Now THAT was a mess. I sure hope that lonely cheetoe sitting on the highway tasted good, because it was the last thing that pidgeon ever ate.
