Hitch hikers suck

[UFO]

Apparently I've had this little fellow tagging along with me in the depths of my fairing, down next to my headers for about a month now.    Out on the road I remember almost nailing a bird.  I guess I did.

I thought I smelled something on occasion.

Looking for a recipe for it?

Nice kill Skip!

The Wife may hate me for this but I just can't help but keep posting these.  Trina's first kill!

 That's gross guys . At least they didn't have antlers.

I was riding the 675 last week and when I would stop for traffic, I would smell something that was nearly vomit producing.  When I got home, I discovered a dead robbin was resting between my fairing and exhaust headers.  What a mess.  It took me 40 minutes to get it cleaned.  I had to rub Vicks vapor rub on my nose so I couldn't smell it while cleaning.

last spring i was in Canada on TC17 after having breakfast in white river when i nailed a bird and a bunch of feathers came flying over the helmet. yep this one is dead. when i stopped in marathon later i found it in the upper faring above the radiator. glad i installed that radiator screen.

It's a bird, or what's left of it.  What I'm trying to figure out is where exactly is it located inside the bike?

[Brad1445]

Thats part of the ABS system, don't mess with it.

[stevent]

You'll probably need to re-jet for that.......

I hit a squirrel once but there wasn't much of it left to stick on the bike, no mess either which I was pleased about! Stupid critter ran out in front of the big blue bike going 90mph. Darwin at his finest

Who was it on here that hit the turkey, bungied it to their bike and called it dinner?

[goldylocks303]

Not bike related but gross none the less.  Someone nailed a huge deer on the highway ahead of me and the majority of the carcass was dead center in my lane.  It was late, dark, I was tired, and ran straight over it.  I was in a Mazda protege (read: no ground clearance) and raked the deers body down the entire bottom of my car.  When I got off the highway and stopped it smelled like I was BBQing meat that had been marinated in motor oil.  The next morning I was taking the car to get tires (read: up in the air on a rack).  I got up early, looked under the car and there was meat hanging from every exposed bold head.  I was at a car wash at 8AM power washing the underside so the guys at Big O Tires didn't raise their eyebrows at me.  

eD

They'd be callin' the local constabulary to report a possible hit and runner trying to throw off the scent by changing tires...

It's just forward of the headers, where the side fairings and a small fairing under the radiator meet.  There's not a whole lot of free space to get back there, so he must have had a thrilling ride to get down in there.  I was poking around with a flashlight last night in the garage and noticed him.

I look foward to cleaning it out.  After a month I'm hoping he's more petrified and dried out than squishy.

Don't you mean radiator meat?

You could make some Awesome Bird Stew.

[lanispet]

Ugh.
Only thing i've ever killed with the bike was a 'possum (stupid-ass things), but i've killed at least four birds with cars... i once found a perfectly-intact, tiny yellow bird stuck in the grille of my '63 New Yorker- it was just too pathetic for words.  

[gunz]

If it close enough to th eheadersm you may have already cooked part of it!! Pull off a piece an dhave a try.

 I got several with my connie, bu tnone that stayed with me.

[Bjorn Toulouse]

Skipper, I sure hope that the lil' bugger ain't on the endangered species list!!! It'd be a pisser to have the Feds involved! Destroy the pics, NOW!
