animals are dangerous little b*st*rds.. ive ramped over a few rabbits in my time, usually resulting in a bit of tank slap but no fall yet.
however a guy bought a brand new gsxr1000 (i was about 15 at the time and it was my mates big brother) he was really giving it some out of the back of kirton lindsey on the back roads when a golden retriver ran out in front of him... he went straight through the middle of it (yes cut it in half) and came off it a really big way.
broke his back, both legs and was in a coma for a few months.
unfortunately the dog obviously died and to add insult to injury his insurance company sued the dogs owners for costs to his machine as it shouldnt of been on the road. at this point he gave up road bikes (he had had a few falls) and took up motorcross.
anway he crashed that when p**sing about flying through woodland, the back end shot out and threw him off where he prompty twatted a tree back first and bust that as well as his arm... hes now driving cars only!
he has some funny stories about his biking history, like the time he bought a brand new zxr750 and rode it gently away from the shop, anyway he decided to pull a wheelie as he got going and the handle bar come off in his hand, some how he put it back on the ground and rode it back to kawasaki holding the throttle in the air... they were more than a little embarrased at there bike maintanance/building skills!
