One HUGE pothole, luckily I was only going 30kph. Riding a nice shadowy lane, and couldn't tell the pothole from a shadow. Forks bottomed out in a major way and sprayed fork-oil through the top nut breather holes.

hit a brick at 90mph and put one hell of a dent in my rim and nobody could believe the tyre didnt blow, felt like my wrists did though

A dog's head during the Memorial Day/Rolling Thunder weekend at 70mph. It was already dead. Seemed big like a Pit Bull's head, not sure it was night time.

A dog between 5 and 10 pounds. I think it was it's head actually. 65 mph at night just turned my low beems on because there was a car coming and there it was standing on the rode. I slowed down and moved to the center of the rode as quick as I could and it ran right at me as the oncoming car pasted by. I think there is a crease in the seat 'cause the bike got a little wobbly on me as the car was passing other than that I just felt sick for a bit

I ran over a bag of leaves that fell off a landscaping truck right in front of me and to my right.

Front tire went over it, then ripped the bag or something. Leaves went everywhere and the plastic hung up under the bike. Scared me good but overall didn't really make me lose control.

Well, to tell you the truth, it never really occured to me. Guess the panic overrode my sense of anti littering....

I rode over YOUR MOM last night. Then again this morning.

Sorry... someone had to make that joke. Might as well be me.
