Today I was riding to work and guess what kind of creature I kit?


deer? - No.
Squirrel? - No.
Leopard? - No.



I hit a friggin turkey. I mean.... wtf?

A few years ago these things were RARE. Now you see em everywhere. I just came out of a corner and there he was. Just gassed it, stood up a big, and gave it a little kick over the head.

Heres the amazing part. He ain't dead. I pulled over and ran over to it and it popped up full of life when I touched it and chased me down. I ran over to my bike and as I was mounting up the friggin thing kept attacking my rear tire and exhaust... I high tailed it outa there!


Crazy little things jeez....

i got attacked by a Canadian Goose while bicycling up a hill one time. It pecked me in the back.

gotta watch out for birds, they'll jack you up.

If someone on a bike flew by me and kicked me in the head for no reason I'd want to attack you too!

Ugh - I work over in newton MA and we have wild turkeys all over our office park. Many times I'll be in a meeting with my boss and we'll get completely distracted because there's a turkey outside his window (it's floor to ceiling) that is getting angry at it's own reflection in the glass. It's pretty hard to have any sort of conversation with them yelling at either themselves or each other.

last time i got attacked by Wild Turkey was in Cheyenne Wells Co. ...after that i switched to Jack Daniels

hahaha that is one of the funniest motorcycle stories i've ever heard

Matt, where did this happen?

Looks like you have the potential to have Thanksgiving early this year, yes?
