i hit one with my directional the other day. it made a last minute change of course, and smacked it. it flew away though.
my manager said he was riding along on his interceptor one day and saw a goose flying against the horizon. it looked really cool against the sky and everything, and i just looked at it for a few seconds, he said. then, the bird took a dive, and dove right into his chest. he stayed on the bike, but he said his legs and one arm came off, as he had to push this big, bloody, squirming and quacking duck out of his lap. when he got home he had blood all over his leathers. i thought it was a funny story.
