I've seen you ride Ernier, and your not slow. And whenever I've seen a snake on the road, I am almost standing on my seat trying to get away from them. I don't really like them that much.
A turkey ran into the lower fairing on my bike on it's maden voyage home from the dealership. I was following behind the bike and what I saw was a whole lotta shaking going on low down on the bike and then all of a sudden, a completely plucked turkey came shoot out from the bike. Looked like one of those rubber chickens of gag and slapstick comedy prop.
I hit a turkey - actually, it flew into the path of the bike - a few years ago. Big bruise on my shoulder & an explosion of feathers. Found... lets just say "turkey" on the bike in various places for a couple of weeks or so.
Riding buddies suggested eating it since it was already tenderized, but I left it off the side of the road.
Your bike plucked the bird, mine did not. Possibly you have HD part#5482-34b Lower Fairing Turkey Plucker?
