I watched my mother and father in law \\;hit an alligator in the Everglades. Ultra classic pulling a trailer at nite hit the gator at around 55 mph. The bike was atleast three feet in the air,(bunny hopped). \\;The only thing that saved them was the trailer digging in to the gator and pulling the bike back down! He kept the bike up and after mother got done slapping the sh@#! out of him, he went and changed his shorts. It was one of the coolest "saves" I've seen.

I hit a big dog when I was a teenager with my bike. Front wheel flopped. Road rashed my hip, hand , and shoulder. Dog ran home. Seen him around later that week, he acted like he felt better than me.

In my early years I have hit dogs they are like speed bumps. Birds they will knock the wind out of you. That sewer hole pad sent me flying. Now that one hurt for long time. I hit a park car with the end of the crash bar and it stop me fast. Truck tires all the time.
