Don't know. But one evening about darkthirty I was riding home and Mr. Ground Hog was chasing Mrs. Ground Hog across the road.

Mrs. Ground Hog made it while Mr. Ground Hog got ran over by a Harley Hog.

I almost nailed an armadillo on the way home from work last night. Guy I know at work was telling me he ran over a squirrel on his bicycle the other day.

Did you say the old lady was a dog and in his lap??

I hit a rabbit a couple weeks ago. Like you I felt a bump...bump, but I didn't get any guts on my bike. I saw it go off the side of the road in my mirror but didn't stop to see how far it got

My brother-in-law and I were riding and he hit a really small doe going about 55mph . . .cut her in half . . .we had to ride to the local carwash so I could wash him off with the powerwasher . .looked like the scene in ghost busters where the guy got "slimed". He didn't appreciate it at all when I hit the "wax" setting as I was hosing him down.

Glad to hear your OK and didn't put the bike down.

Got to love any old man who drives around with his old lady on his lap.
Don't understand the dog though... unless he does the cleaning up?

You should paint a little possum on your tank to commemorate the occasion. 5 kills and you are an Ace.
At least add a

to your signature line..

I hit one of those squishy speed bumps the second night on my current bike. I will always choose my bike and I to be OK over the suicidal critter. Straight on, bump bump, saw the body the next day so it didn't fare well...

You can be very happy that it wasn't an armadillo

So far I'm 1 Groundhog / 1 Coon / About a dozen birds. I'm just waiting on the skunk that will inevitably be my next victim some morning on the way to work.

Thankfully though I have missed all the deer so far.
