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

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....
