I was on a spirited ride with Duck-Stew one afternoon when something hit my front brake lever hard enough to apply the brake, pinch my fingers, give me a minor tankslapper.

Stew said it looked like I flew through a cloud of moths... It was the feathers of an exploded bird.

The aftermath... (not for the squemish)


Coulda been worse... at least it wasn't a turkey. Lips Sealed


bacon

Did one of those bugz put a hole in your tank?

A not-too-smart black bird committed suicide on my front brake lever.

That would be blood all over my tank...  Tongue  Got all over my leathers, and when I pulled over to check for damage, there were little chunks of bird meat cooking on the engine case and pipes.

Not as tasty as bacon.....   Undecided

I find it disturbing that you're imagining me in a sauna, never mind the teletubbie aspect of it

I'll put money on that being an assumption. Grin

I was just comparing the smell of bird meat cooking in a light coating of 20w50 on the crankcase breather to the smell of bacon frying in a large dollop of butter.  Bacon wins!  Cheesy

Mythbusters did a show on how hard an insect would hit a rider at speed.  They used a mockup of a goliath beetle and went up to 200 mph -- still not enough to kill a person.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

You could mix in a few cicadas since you've already added butter
