I have taken out two large owls — fortunately with a car and not a bike. It’s a sick feeling when you see it coming but cannot react fast enough to avoid it. I really thought one was going to land in my lap, but the windshield held.
I too was caught in a thunderstorm once in a tee shirt while riding my motorcycle. It was raining so hard I had to stop and get off the bike. Even stopped, the wind whipped rain was really painful. I then got back on the bike and rode the other direction. At about 40 mph the storm became just a heavy rain.
The sorm blew over in a few minutes, whereupon, I turned back around and continued to my destination.
