Saturday morning I head out for a ride with my buddy into the Everglades area of Florida where there is a descent road with twisties. On a stretch of 75 east, we are getting ready to exit in a 1/2 mile and I notice a road kill in the left lane, wouldnd't you know it, out of my right from the grass comes a Vulture into my path, I duck, and Blammm! it explodes on the right leading edge of my right fairing and frame slider... My Buddy freaked out with the explosion and the plumage as it wizzed off in a spin from the right side of my bike, my first thought and reaction was to look back at him thinking this thing would hit him too. At the end we pulled into a gas station near by, washed all the stuff off, and to my surprise only the inner finish paneling clips broke off from the body shift, and my intake was pushed back also, but no paint damage or cracks.
Has anyone ever hit something this big. I know a guy hit a deer here a while back. Let me tell you, you always think there is time to react, pretty much hold on and get lucky like me
lease: One foot up and this ten pound bird hits my right hand, or hits me in the head and who knows.
Heads up for those kritters

watch out for peacocks too.!! I almost hit a few exiting a curve in north lakeland area and they were just taking their sweet a$$ time crossing the road. I slammed on the brakes and missed them by inches. after that I started looking into upgrading my master cylinder
