just hit a turkey

[Evil_Ductator]

Glad to hear you're ok...
At one of the locations I work, there is a killer attack guard turkey.  I'll park the bike, and at the end of the day, the turkey is there waiting.  He thinks the bike is his, so when I get close to the bike, he flaps his wings and does a flying side kick at me. (I kid you not!)     He's only made contact once and luckily I was in full gear, so no damage.    

Not that dangerous, just a pain in the a$$

Once again, glad you came out shiny side up.   [moto]

how many of those ppl who said that actually rode and how many of those actually had big nasty wrecks?

Actually, when I went to the rehab hospital the first thing my doctor (not the neurosurgeon, the rehab doc) said to me was "well, when you gonna start riding again?" and he meant it! He was a rider too and knew this was a total bullshit screwed up bad luck deal and he (and I) was glad that I was alive and functioning. Sort of. All the rest of the staff was anti bike... big time. But you have to consider the crazy bad injuries they see from dumbass riders who get themselves hurt. And I have named the Busa the "turkeyslayer" out of respect. Even got to make the first carve on last years Thanksgiving turkey. Brother in law had to get it on film! Have a feeling that will be a tradition. When I was at the hospital my wife was helping me fill out the week long food menu order form. You got to pick from food selections for breakfast, lunch and dinner for the upcoming week. When she was reading me the lunch options my 10 year old step son said I should pick the turkey sandwiches for lunch to get revenge!!! Good thinking!

And no, no guts or feathers. A little weird smear here and there. Mostly just good old red Oklahoma dirt crammed in every nook and cranny on the bike. When I replaced the fairing it took a while to get all the red OK dirt cleaned up. I think the next time I go that way on a ride I'm gonna leave one of those memorial road side markers where the bird met it's match!
