Who has hit a bird or animal at speed?

I haven't hit a bird but my buddie Clint did last year.  I was about 100 feet behind him when it happened.

Wish I had a picture like that of me holding the turkey that crushed my vertebrae! Today is the two year anniversary of me coming home from the rehab hospital. I seriously need to give up dove hunting and focus all my efforts on turkey hunting. Wonder if someone makes a Benelli Super 90 mount for Ducatis? [moto]

Surface streets, so i was around 25-45mph hit a sparrow with my helmet.  Felt no impact, but it was loud.  Those suckers weigh nothing.

I was following a buddy on his honda 599 when he hit a decent sized bird doing about 50mph. I wasn't too far behind him and rode through a wall of feathers. It was pretty funny. Hit his bike square on the headlight.

I've never hit a bird myself, but I have had a bee hit me in the neck, slide down my jacket, then proceed to sting the shit out of me. Mrs. MN thought I was make the beast with two backsing nuts when I all of a sudden started freaking out and slammed on the brakes to pull off the road.    It must've been quite the sight.

  It must've been quite the sight.

Especially after you started doing what looked like a really bad version of an Irish Jig on the side of the road. I couldn't help it, it was funny to watch.

I had a run in with insects, but it wasn't a collision.  We had stopped at a rest area and I set my helmet on a wooden picnic table.  Apparently my sweaty helmet attracted fire ants.  They didn't start biting until I was a few miles down the road    I had about 20 bites on my head.

I hit a bird at about 120mph on the track - right in the chest... wasn't my fastest lap time on that one it freaked me out pretty good!
