M61A1MECH Posted December 18, 2011 Share #1 Posted December 18, 2011 While on a ride today I had a close encounter with a Turkey Buzzrd, the silly thing took off as I was approaching and flew back across the road. Managed to go between the windshield and me, his wing was right in front of my face , had to duck to miss him, good thing I did not have a passenger, because they would have collected the bird for sure. My buddy riding behind me said it was so close he thought I had hit the bird, but we both survived to talk about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragtop69gs Posted December 19, 2011 Share #4 Posted December 19, 2011 That woulda hurt ! I watched a riding buddy take out a partridge with his cheek at 50 MPH ! What an explosion of feathers it was !! Had a one heck of a bruise and was seein stars for 1/2 an hour. For the rest of the weekend, every time we saw a bird, we'd point at it and he'd show us another bird! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
