Have you ever...hit an animal/been hit by an animal??

I had a terrifying very near miss with a Stag on Rannoch Moor . I got so close l swear I heard it's hooves on the tarmac as it leapt aside at the last moment . I also had a Pine Marten run in front of me near Lochailort . I would have been mortified if I'd hit that . This one looks like he's thinking of making a dash for it .

When I see signs like this I know I'm not in Coventry any more .

Hit a dog once, it ran straight out in front of me, thankfully I wasn't going very fast, being a dog lover I was really upset about it, dog seemed ok, must have scared the crap out of him though it certainly did me!

My mum hit a dog in her old Mini.

The dog was fine.

The Mini disintegrated. Mind you, it was 90% rust held together with filler and newspaper.

Ran over two foxes that were already dead.

Riding home on the EXUP from Banbury in the dark following a car, when the fox appeared from under it and it was too late to swerve.

Luckily it was legthways across the road and I went over the middle of it, bit of a bump and no drama.

2nd time, the Fox was laying along the road and I went over the whole thing, it chucked me out the saddle and I was lucky not to fall off.

A squirrel didn't think they would be much of a hump to ride over

its the swerve on the wet uneven road that does it... watch till the end to see the slow-motion replay (the squirrel was fine)
