M61A1MECH Posted September 3, 2018 Share #1 Posted September 3, 2018 A fellow Goldwing rider in Alabama posted this picture of the aftermath of a bird strike while riding. If you are not familiar with the species, that is a Turkey Vulture one of the most disgusting birds around, nearly had a run in with one on the way to WingDing in Knoxville last week. He said no damage to the bike, could have been real ugly if it hit a few feet higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyinfool Posted September 4, 2018 Share #5 Posted September 4, 2018 Man that had to be a thump, those are not small birds. The only bird I ever hit was just a little brown sparrow. But I caught it right in the middle of the chest and thought I was gonna die. I have not had a bike without a windshield since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
