What's the oddest thing that's hit you while on a motorcycle?

baseball cap. i think it was from in front of me. about 1:30 AM, we're both going 75-80 on a dark, rural stretch of I-70 (i live in eastern colorado), and out of nowhere, an oakland raiders cap hits my shoulder. i know it was a raiders cap because the wind held it against my shoulder just long enough for me to see the logo. then it was gone. sadly, it was summer and i wasn't wearing a jacket. that hurt.

once a 2-inch-long grasshopper. in the face. whilst wearing a shorty. my speed of 20 or so was a mixed blessing. didn't hurt much, but it was also still alive, and stuck to my face. god i hate bugs...

Yes, at speed a little thing can hurt like hell! An acorn or a pebble kicked up by a car or something like that can leave a big bruise!

When I was first learning to ride, I was on a country road, not going fast or anything, and I saw a few sheep on the road up ahead. I slowed down and the sheep looked at me and got off the road, so I sped up. And just as I did, one of the sheep walked right back out onto the road and I went down trying to avoid him. I don't know if I hit it or not!

There was a house there and knocked on the door and asked the woman if she had a first aid kit. She said the sheep were her son's 4H project and should have been penned up and she apologized and helped me doctor up my cuts and bruises. I have never trusted sheep since, to know enough to get out of the way!

A year ago my mechanic redid my front suspension, and when he took my fairing off there was the dried body of a dead bird in it. He asked me if I remembered hitting a bird and I didn't!

A duck

Doing about 60 watching the sunset along a country road, I viewed out over a pond just as a duck was taking flight off the water as the sun was setting in the background. Just a beautiful and picturesque view. Suddenly the duck just turned to it's left and right in my path, I braced for impact and BAM! Knocked the wind right out of me, don't ask about the duck. Ducks have one speed when they fly, full speed.... they take off and fly rather low but seldom do they veer like this one did. Yes it was cool out and lucky me for leather jackets.... my bars took the main hit but I got the full deflection in the chest, enough so that I wondered if I would pass out from not breathing before I got stopped

OLD PEOPLE... riding in florida is like riding through a nursing home. One night I was doing about 50 down a fairly well lit street when all of a sudden an old granny in her bigass crown vic pulls out of the local clinic and clips the rear end of my cbr 900. Sent me flying across 2 lanes and into a ditch.

Actually hit:

Questionable debris hard enough to break my watch crystal

Birds and bird crap. The crap hit middle of my eye glass lens.

bugs, inhaled mosquito, bee stuck in shirt and, various species hitting the eye protection and exploding.

poodle

raccoon

possum

6x6 chunk of lumber laying in the road

Toads crossing the road in South Dakota Bad Lands.

nearly hit:

deer

car tire rolling toward me

Taurus driven by crazy man upset about something. Two day commuting affair. Guess he just wanted be get in front of me. Never got to ask him what he was thinking.

Skunk, his tail brushed my foot.

Goose poop from a couple of birds taking off, guess they were giving up ballast.

My favorite was the Honda Element that hit me. My left side foot pegs broke off in her front right tire. She changed lanes and claimed she couldn't see me. Of course the police didn't cite her for lane deviation or inattentive driving. My expectations are set low after 30 years and 300K miles of riding experience. So it didn't bother me.

I dont have anything over the years other than tree limbs, bugs rocks and cow turds but I saw a bird fly right into the side of a buddies helmet one time when we were out trail riding in the strip mines.

An empty gas can blew off a trailer and whacked my leg pretty good.

Watch our for vultures. The can't take off very well and try to do straight up, sometimes.

I almost hit some wets who had been hidden in a taker truck and unloaded out in the country, when they ran across the road. So watch out for tankers stopped out in the boondocks.

Ring Neck Pheasant.

A mattress blew out of the back of a pickup truck. The bike hit the mattress but unfortunately I didn't

I didnt hit it per say, but i did have a squirrel jump onto my leg while i was on a ride, it ran from my leg and onto my front fender before jumping off the bike
