Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

Had that happen to me once. Blackbird flew out the hedge and lodged itself around the downpipes. Needless to say it was cooked.

Hit a partridge on the weymouth - west bay road at speed.....cracked fairing , blood and guts all over the engine....smelt like sunday roast 
It's good to have an end to journey towards but it's the journey that matters in the end.

Riding my Suzuki TS125x up on the hills outside Wellington a Pigeon hit my helmet straight on at around 60. Blood and feathers all over my visor. Had to stop real quick.
A couple of years ago another one decided to have a go. Riding my CB1300 along that little bit of dual carriageway just before Bridgwater I opned it up and a couple of seconds later BANG. Kamikazi Pigeon San Ni had a go at my radiator/fairing.
No sign of the bird but several weeks later I was still finding feathers.
Oh and the bike stunk of roasted pigeon on the journey back home.
