    This is because badgers are 'ckin nails. What you experience was the badger nutting your car for looking at it the wrong way. If you'd taken the trouble to look you would have found the badger wandering off and muttering 'showed the b@stard' to himself.

    I did look. There was no sign of him, so he must've made it as least as far as the other side of the hedge, after being hit by a tonne and a half of Sunderland Nissan. :shock:

    Both Swinley and North Downs have deer about, don't often see them and they don't tend to hang about but they are about.

    Living in SW london close to Bushy and Richmond Parks I do see rather a lot of deer has to be said...

    Er, no. It was a Nissan. It was made in Sunderland. It weighed a tonne and a half.

    I wonder how often you encounter a beaver when riding in North America.
    All the time, although the traditional long haired variety have been displaced by the bald, or short hair species since the 70s
    Got to be careful around them too, they often chew clean through your wood.

    Maybe it was a land mine - they do that too!

    I got wiped out by a deer riding down a lane in the chilterns one night. It was a sort of UK version of that South African video. It just stared at my lights, jumped and flattened me into a hedge. Felt like I had been hit by a truck the next day!

    I don't think they have land mines in North Yorkshire (except maybe on the firing ranges at Catterick, lol).

    You know... I don't think he was being serious.
    I can't believe that needs to be explained.

    I have been trying for years to ride into a fluffy bunny but they are too quick/smart/agile for me.

    I nearly tangled with a Pheasant last night it flew out of the long grass right at me and I very nearly had brown shorts.

    Not even a myxo one? They're the easiest and they explode when you get them.

    Pheasants are loonies. I was out for a ride with my last girlfriend one time, doing about 60mph (officer) when a pheasant flew out of a hedge at her head. She had to duck and just missed it, but it gave her a shock.
