Strange things your seen on the road

Post by Doctor T »

Still laid up with a knee injury and bored of not being able to get out, I started to think of the strange things I've seen over my biking life.

1.Spain 3 wild Boars ran out In front of me. Never seen wild Boar in real life before. The little ones looked cute but the big one was massive.
2. Mid France I came around a corner and there was the biggest Vulture I've ever seen eating something dead right in the middle of the road.
3. Batman and Superman having a fight outside a night club in Windsor. No sign of Robin or Super Girl.
4. Overtook Micheal Schumacher on the E16. He was driving a sponsorship Merc with his name plastered on the side. Am faster than a F1 driver :lol:
There might be more but I can't remember them at the moment.
What strange or weird things have you seen

I had an own fly over meslf in the car going down Beepers shute on the Isle of Wight.Was dark and picked it up with the full beam, very eerie. Then I had a pigeon fly into me windscreen(different time)me doing 70.What a bloody mess that made.I learned that trying to clear it's debris with me wipers is very counter productive.

Lol with wipers. It was daylight and over 1,000 meter's away when first saw it flying straight towards me a round blob. Barn owl size. Just kept coming and quite frankly scared me as didn't have a clue what it was. Didn't alter course till about 25 metres ,that's when realised what it was.
