--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
was out to top off the fuel tank for the up coming week @ about 6pm tonight. fueled up & was on my way home & an oncoming car was flashing his headlights frantically. i saw a turkey(tom) crossing the road slowly. i was doing about 40mph & was slowing quickly. the bird seemed to be glad being on the other side of the road. then all of a sudden he took flight back across the road. for about 5 seconds(seemed like 2 min), he was flying at the same speed i was going (probably 10mph at this point), and his wings were brushing against my right arm. then he cut right in front of me & hit the fairing. he went straight down, after being pushed ahead from the slight impact & i ran over him. i thought i was going down when he momentarily wedged in front of my front tire. thump thump & i was over him. he was killed instantly when he went under the tires. there was a woman jogging & saw the whole thing unfold. i turned around & stopped near thanksgiving dinner. i assesed the damage, which seemed only to be turkey shit everywhere on the front of the bike, and down the right side. absoloutly no damage to the bike. i called the
they showed up & filled out an accident report that stated ducati vs turkey.
