Ok so this owl looks down from the sky and thinks, 'Huh? A mouse?'

Re: R1 looks like a mouse...

Yeah, she's right. That's Scouser's mate 'Rossi's bike. Can't believe the bird wasn't shredded more myself.
Having myself hit a sparrow at about 70, which hurt, I believe he was doing something like a ton forty when it hit................

Ouch! I bet there were feathers everywhere. How the hell did the owl's head stay in one piece?

Good one, alexandra. I knew booth would like that.

Are you sure the owl is dead? Maybe he's just sleeping...

I hit a bird once, first the headlight and then over the screen to my face shield.

But that is nasty!

Yeah, they're pretty funny to see waddling around. You don't see them too often but they are around here. Pretty big bird too...looks like a skinny, blue turkey with a colorful tail.
