Pheasant Attack

Pleased to hear you're okay mate. Imagine if it had been an open face helmet - doesn't bare thinking about.

We had a customer in yesterday to collect the screen and cockpit for his Tiger Sport that had been cracked by a full on with a pigeon.

 

Bad luck, a fat lip and broken helmet and you didn’t even get the benefit of a game pie out if it!

I know someone that had an argument with a Roe Deer . Now that did end up in the pot!

 

Glad your'e ok, save for a new lid and a fat lip. Had a couple of close shaves myself yesterday, first was a suicidal sheep on the top of the North Yorkshire moors heading down to Hutton le Hole and the second was very similar to your incident. I was at about 70 running between Goole and Crowle and a femail pheasant honed into view at helmet height, bugger was disguised against the straw coloured field behind it and I just managed to duck out of the way in time. I've run into a sheep many years ago and just managed to stay on. Hitting wild life that big is no joke.

Do you why the sheep was going to Hutton le Hole? Maybe it was keen to visit the Ryedale Folk Museum?

 

A161 from Crowle to the Goole side of Eastoft now has a 50mph limit on it. Bastids!!
Not unknown for there to be much police activity around there at weekends.

 

Yeah I spotted that so I was holding back a bit
