Default What's the strangest thing you've hit/run over?

I flattened a ring necked pheasant the other day and have destroyed various woodland creatures that have had the misfortune to wander in front of my bike in my travels.

What's the strangest thing you've ever hit or run over in your travels?

The law.

Physically it would have to be a dead deers leg on the highway on my old bike going 70 mph. I got about 2 feet of air and almost went down.
The sad thing? I was tempted to turn around and ride over it again going faster.

A flock of seagulls. They destroyed my face shiled and I was pulling feathers from my helmet and leathers for a week after. I probably plowed through a few dozen of them before I made it through the flock.

The worst part was that we were stopped on the side of the road that was covered in white birds in front of us, stupid me says to my riding buddy "I wouldn't worry, they are pretty good at moving before you hit them". Then I got on the throttle way too hard.

Nothing too unusual, just a 'possum at 50 MPH (stupidest fucking animals on the planet).

Knee puck to the helmet front straight at grattan.
Knee puck to the leg on the street.
Lots of birds including one to the chest that fell in my lap and was tossed to another rider. I also ducked one that hit back seater in the face shield.
Pack of cigs from friend in front of me.
June bug I thought some one tossed a chocolate ice cream cone out of a car.
Rabbit.
Mouse.
Phesant.
Dead coon.
A deer tail still connected to the deer at about 90mph. Thank God I did not hit the whole thing.
Tire in the road on the freeway at 70mph middle of the night.
Almost hit a V-8 engine that fell out of the truck in front of me.
Turtles and frogs are always on Grattan I have hit many of them. (frogs are slippery)
While passing a bus on the freeway it hit a deer and I got covered in yuck.(blood is sticky)
Police horse crap in east lansing(after a MSU foot ball game)
Railroad track with steel grate missing bent rim all to crap.
I also ran into the back of a friends Katana we started to leave a stop sign and then he stoped after rolling about 10 feet. Poked a hole in the F2 radiator with his pipe.
A whole mess of mayflys, they taste real bad.

Ok thats all I can remember in 15 years of riding.

In 15 years of riding a lot of crap happens. I have about 100,000 miles in on sport bikes.
