Default Killed an opossum with my bike last night.

Merging onto the highway. Little bugger was right in the center of the road as I was coming around the cloverleaf. I saw him, but didn't have much time to react. I've always heard it's better to run over an animal than it is to swerve to avoid it on a bike.

I almostlost it when I hit him since I was in aturn, but my tires regained traction as soon as they crushed his skull.

Pucker factor: 8.9

Sorry this isn't a warm and cuddly post that makes you feel all fuzzy inside. Life's a bitch. What'cha gonna do?

Any other road kill stories out there?

Had a rottweiler get its lower jaw pretty much removed with my rear sprocket and chain on my dirt bike.
Two days ago I ramped over a dead deer with my Trans Am. (wow that smells when the hair and blood get burned on the exhaust pipes)
Ran over a dead squirrel with my F3.
Ran over lots of toads with the lawn mower. (toadkill)
Took out 6 raccoons at once with a .22 (they started charging my dog... not roadkill, but it was cool.)

Took a bird in the chest on the bike once, smaller one, like a finch or something. Was doing about 70mph tho and that stung for a while.

Hit a few small animals in my old truck, 22 inch lift on 48 boggers, never felt a thing
