Western Australia. Emu, equated to broken leg, they silly bugga's and run along.

Steve its a combination of luck and skill to remain upright. As these things happen when you least expect them there is mostly no chance to think it out you just go into "brace" mode and its up to the gods how it pans out. I hit a wild cat at around 100 kph and it hit the crash bar first but went under the bike and out the back. Hit mant many birds but only small things

Bal...thats bikers Gold! LMFAO

So the Theory is true "When in doubt, throttle it out!"????

Also the fuckers that come out of the sky. Went riding today with a mate. He was in front, when out of no where this kookaburra swooped down, across the mates path and picked up something off the road. Stupid fucker than did a turn and straight back across the mates path almost colliding with him. Only doing about 80, but it was close the second time.  

Never hit anything , but had on 2 occasions Roo's jump right across my path and missed by   a couple of feet ,, But luckiest  was a few years ago coming from Qld ,  not sure where i was , but  out on my own , had a rcket 3 between my knees and decided to see what the bike could do . Lets just say i was alittle over the limit and could'nt ring it any more   , thought better slow down , which i  did ,  just before a bend , went around this bend at 110 , and smack into  a herd of wild  goats stood in the road , Thing is because i had just been doing warp speed ,  110 felt like 60 kph and i just casually swerved around them onto the dirt enbankment and carried on , Under NO ILLUSIONS , if i had been doing 110 just before    it would not of been the same result

had a couple of hits,killed a cattle dog a long time ago, that one hurt,dozen or so stiches in right knee,the dog jumped into my path while barking at a truck that had just started[smoke from rhs exhaust as i past it] ,60 km impact .

Had to dodge a few roos riding to work early in Canberra both dead and alive but the biggest scare was driving a work transit van and rounding a corner to startle a wedge tailed eagle off a dead roo in the middle of the road, those things take a bit to get off the ground and fuck they are big heading for the windscreen. Imagine collecting one in the chest on a bike.

As a regular rider to the wheat belt areas Pink and Grey cocky can wreak a bit of havoc on the take off from road verges.

I remember asking my dad a similar question years ago!

A good idea is to stay off the rural highways after dark. I do around 6000km a week and see a shitload of Roos. I think I’d feel much safer warming a bar stool at night :-)
