I'm not a Pheasant Plucker....

But I nearly bagged a brace !!! ..... 100mph, sweeping bend, dual carriageway, overtaking a couple of cars..... two of them ran from the centre verge and stopped....... just missed them.
Ok, I confess.......

It's a worry isn't it...... Do you pin the throttle, Brake hard, swerve or just hope for the best ?

Mate of mine hit a pheasant, on a blackbird (you couldn’t make it up).

Bloody mess. Literally.

Bike had minor damage.
His jacket was a write off.

I had a Marsh Harrier get a good grip on my crash helmet a couple of years ago. They're awfully big and strong close up! :shock:
