PETA would have a fit if they saw how bad motorcyclists abuse animals.

I'm guessing you were OK besides the obvious of being scared sh^#less?

Wow, look at the size of the wing. That must have felt like a cinder block slamming the bike.

Owls must be attracted to light. Just like moths, and BADGERS!!!

I thought Owls can hunt in darkness? I've seen them nail rabbits on moonlit nights on snowy fields out west.

I hit one in real dense fog at night one time, MUCH bigger than this one.
It looked like a 30 pound watermelon with wings!

I was driving a cab over type tractor trailer, and just caught a glimpse of this HUGE thing heading toward my face. It hit right above the windshield, a metal sun visor taking the brunt of the force.
I damn near peed my pants.....

It's a shame, they're cool looking birds....
