I saw turkeys crossing the road in front of me but had enough time to slow down and enjoy watching them, but what rider1200 said, we did have a turkey vulture "buzz" us going down the road. had to pull over and calm down a few minutes. The picture of the vulture's feet are still embedded in my mind, they were so close!

 

Got mine with the cage on Monday, totaled it out cuz I got the brain box on the hit. Insurance took care of it, just glad it was the car and not me on the scoot!!!

 

better than the two does and two fawns that went in front of us today....

 

I live on the Cuyahoga Valley National Park here...you see deer, turkey buzzards every day. At night you see packs of coyotes as well. Lots of close calls. The turkeys are so stupid they sit in the road and back up traffic for a mile in the morning.

 

Damn. A turkey in my face would probably require a change of pants.
I came across a squirrel sleeping in the middle of the road recently. I thought he was roadkill. Right when I got to him, he jumped up and ran across the road in front of me. Scared the crap outta me, just because I wasn't expecting a dead squirrel to do that!

 

 

 

If You'da been a little quicker you coulda latched onto that turkey by his beard and stuffed him into one of your bags,took him home and kleened him out,then fricaseed his ***. Glad you weren't hurt. Just goes to show Ya, bikers need to be ready for any and everything at any time.

 

Turkey man.. I could save a few bucks at the store with that bastard. Too bad it hurts when you hit them!
