Default Poor lil creature

I hate when you hit an animal... it's like slow motion.

I was in my car and hit this groundhog lookin thing... he was in the middle of the road and I saw his beady lil eyes... it's rainy and there was a car coming the opposite way... I was thinkin stay there lil dude, I'll straddle you. But he must've moved under my wheels at the last second. It was pretty upsetting. :-/

I've hit a few hundred bugs on the bike. as for in a car...a couple porcupines, a bunch of small birds and a deer so far. I'd hate to hit anything bigger than a bug on two wheels though

I ran over a skunk in a car driving through Oregon a couple of years ago. Jesus! I wish I hadn't. The stench was unreal and took the rest of the journey back to SF before we could even get in the car without gagging.
I dread the day when I'll meet a deer in front of me on the bike. They're frequent on the roads in Kent.
Hope you get over it without resorting to paid therapy Meggers. Try beer and JD. That should set the world to rights.

Last animal I owned was a bird. Hit my grill then did a barrel roll right over my car. I watched it go past the sunroof. Oops!

Aken, you hit your pet bird? I hope not... that would suck.

I hit a gigantic coon on the bike, but he was already dead.

Ew anybody ever hit a skunk on a bike....? I can only imagine.......................

Hit a fox once. Felt it hit my floorpan twice. Watched it roll a few times on my rearview. Laid there a few seconds then jump up n run across the other lane, median and other 2 lanes of the interstate.
