which wasn't an insect or other flying member of the animal kingdom!

I was riding last weekend and had a smack on the visor. Noise was like I'd hit a monster bee, but no, it was a blackberry...
 
came close to a few large rocks off dump trucks...bounce, roll, bounce, bounce duck and weave!
 
I took a conker to the face once, slightly concerned about the fact it may have compacted some of the polystyrene in my helmet...

 
I was going to say a fairy but in truth it was just a really large but that left a huge smear...
 
When I lived in Tucson AZ there was a bridge on this road that always had bats that would flap around. Never really had a problem crossing that bridge until one night. I was just cruising and out of NOWHERE this black mass just clouded my view and then it hit me. sheer force pulled my whole body back! I managed to stay on the bike, but I ended up pulling over while I processed what happened. My neck was stiff as hell for a couple weeks. And I never rode on that bridge again haha


Edit: spelling mistake :)
 
Nice, I have had a couple monster bugs, and I took a rock to the visor at about 60. Gave it a nice sized battle scar but it held its own, gave me a headache as well.

Noooooooo! I didnt catch that haha. Um, other than the occassional pebble or corpse flying out of herses i have nothing fancy to share then :(.

I feel like a bat shouldnt count though!!! What are the odds og getting hit by one of those?!?! 1/637584626284936284?
 
I had a trucker throw what I believe to be ball bearings at me when I was riding through Tennessee in the mid 1990s. I don't know if he thought I was following to close or if he didn't like bikers in general. I didn't stick around to ask.
