...I'm sill working on getting the POV video out of this one, and I know I have it...but damn, this was a first.
I suspect I'm non the only motorcyclist out there to have the misfortune of ending the days of one of god's creatures, but today was a first. Sure, I've put down a deer, god knows how many suicidal squirrels, and more than a bird or two, but I've never had anything explode on me like today.
I heard something hit my mirror, then go across my body to exit to the right side of of the bike. DM told me she saw the explosion of feathers come out of my right side, but at the next stop the bright red was unmistakable.
Stop now if you don't want to see this...
you've been warned.
Pretty sure it started here.
Then the shower began...
I've had birds hit me in the chest before and I'm pretty sure that was their last act, but never had a splatter quite like today. Don't like it, and clean up after arriving home was extensive. Prefer this stuff never happens, but I'm positive I'm not the only one to have this or much worse.
