Nasty things pheasants, I wrote my old 3.0e Capri off on one.  Hit it .... no stearing .... upside down in a ditch and didn't have the time or money to fix it up  :'(

I hit a pigeon when delivering the MV6 to Opti the other weekend, is there a lot of depression in birds??

Managed to run over a fox who decided to do a last minute squat in the centre of the road in the small hours one summers morning whilst me and my copilot were answering a raid/hold up alarm at nearby but remote countryside 24 hour garage.

As I was travelling at a considerable number of leptons, my co-pilot was snoring gently but consistantly, happy and oblivious in the second half of the nightshift 'team'.

That changed rapidly when Renard rattled his/her way underneath the car at that 'dry Blackthorne' moment (ie hold on with both hands).  Dunno who parted with their cack first, TBH....

Caused a fair bit of damage to the 5 series underpinnings and a less than happy tech who had to carry out the repair, despite copious use of the powerwasher beforehand....  :-[
And we caught the baddies.  :)

Glad it wasn't a bike I was on though....  :o

I had a rabbit run out in front of my bike. It safely made it to the other side, then it ran back out, jump up and headbutt my knee.  :o :-?
