I've just heard from Pete that he had a chance meeting with a rather feisty bird.

Apparently it was a brief affair but she left quite an impact.
During the encounter she took out some flashers before setting about his fairing - and he's not sure whether it can be saved.

I understand she departed in a bit of a state.

I'm happy to report that Pete's constipation has been cured

Not good! Glad to hear he is ok though.

Well if he's okay then blame the county, Suffolks full of weirdo's

BTW did it take offence to his xausts?

Probably hurt less than if he was caught hitting on a human one.

mutters

fairing is ok

new indicators, clutch lever, clutch reservoir

sore hand and shoulder

am probably better off than the pigeon though - seemed to leave a lot of guts and feathers over my bike

Not too bad . At least it wasnt a Pheasant or an Ostrich.

Ouch

Arnica for the hand and shoulder -- and physio if you can get it, I had a good few months of physio to get my shoulder back in order after the pheasant strike 'cos I ignored it initially and it froze up.
