  • Here’s why we should all wear gear… You never know where it’s gonna come from. If the bird had been bigger, or if I’d been going faster, the outcome could have been much different.

    My first bird was to the leg at 72 mph. Just a little guy, but still kinda freaked me out lol. Like you said, all the gear all the time. Just out of curiosity, are you a pilot?

      Well spoken, nice garage with different types of bikes, safety conscious with regards to wearing proper gear, and calling hitting a bird a birdstrike haha.
      I'm currently getting signed off on my Commercial rating and hoping to get a job as a CFI by next year. End goal is one of the majors flying internationally or a nice corporate gig. Ride and fly safe man 👍

    I hate bugs.... Can't imagine a bird.

      I hear you man, I’ve had numerous encounters with birds and bugs. Big juicy ones that break stuff 😅
