Check out this video on my ride in Southern MO this weekend. All good until a cat decided to run out in front of me, broke off a piece of my left fairing. Action around 5:15. RIP kitty.

Are you sure it was a kill? Watching the video it seemed likely but I always go back for the confirmation. Gun reel footage isn't always enough in this case. You can't paint it on the side of the cockpit unless it is a confirmed kill.

Crap man that sucks.. Glad you stayed upright.. I think ive ran over several fowl.... Chicken, Peacock, Squirrel many a times..

Sometimes that little nudge is enough to put you on the pavement..

Wow, that cat came from nowhere. Glad you are okay because that could have turned ugly fast.

Wow... pretty sure that cat is toast. I was reading on another board, a guy was riding two-up on his N1k and hit a doe. He stayed upright with some damage, broke the doe's back.

I hit a chicken on my relatively new at the time 1986 Yamaha FZ600. I was on a real familiar favorite farm road, tucked in tight doing about 120. I saw something in the road just before a really long easy downhill right sweeper and couldn't tell what it was. I moved a little off line right, but couldn't go far because of the turn coming up. Whatever it was moved the same way, so I moved a little left. It also moved back left about the time I recognized it was a chicken. I was right there in that instant and kind of braced for impact as the chicken jumped. I thought it just grazed my windscreen but my buddy right behind me said it looked like I hit a pillow. I didn't have any damage, but you couldn't have pulled a straight pin out of my butt with a John Deere.

Are you sure that wasn't a big rabbit?

My little brother ran over a possum and it busted his lowering fairing. N1K has a glass jaw ?

perhaps the cat still has his other 8 lives.
