I was riding two-up today on some back roads, and what I think was a hawk was eating something off the side of the road. As I approached it, it got startled, and flew right into the middle of the road. Luckily it didn't hit my wheel and it was on my right side so it didn't get caught in the chain, but sure enough I felt it THUD against my boots. I effectively kicked a hawk at 40mph. I looked back and saw it lying in the road as the line of cars behind me drove over it. It looked dead/unconscious so hopefully it didn't feel much. I'm definitely feeling pretty lucky, as the situation could have ended much worse and I'd feel horrible if I dumped my fiance on the cement. I was pretty bummed but my fiance hadn't even realized it happened. I pulled over to make sure the bike was alright and she had no idea what was going on, which is a good thing, because she probably would have started bawling.
