In American ( or Canadian ) this would mean someone threw a cigarette ( *** in the UK ) out of their car window.

I killed a crow doing about 65mph. Hit me in the shoulder. Felt like a nice solid punch to the shoulder. Suprised me more than it hurt.

I haven't had one smack me in the helmet or the shoulder, but for some reason I've had a lot of really close calls... I guess birds around here aren't used to dodging motorcycles...

A couple of years ago I was riding a back road on my ninja when a WA Stater on a bike came up behind me. Thinking "shoot, what did I do now?" But he gave me a nod and we cruised for several miles together, as it was a nice warm spring day. Anyways, we eventually caught up to a bunch of kids in a car. When the say us, the started staring out the back window, pointing and shouting, and look as if they were pissed off or something. Then the driver threw a beer can out the window, which bounced of my fairing. Now, this time there was a cop when I needed one. He pulled them over and I stoped behind to check my faring. The driver was busted for DUI and littering. The other kids had minors-in-position charges as well. I got a new faring out of it to boot.

Those kids got exactly what they deserved, they probably needed a swift kick in the butt too.

I often wondered what went through their heads when, after throwing a beer can out the window, the cop suddenly turned on his red and blues.

I knew he was a cop the instant I saw him in my mirror, several hundred yards behind me. Maybe I just know what they look like, or a 6th sense thingy.

without offending anyone....stuipid is as stupid does. tossing a beer can with bikes behind let alone a WSP.....

Hey you NC guys come ride with me in the summertime when the tourists are here and more interested in looking at trees than the road. Driving the roads here are worse than I85 thru Atlanta in rush hour. People try to occupy my space so much that I've learned to never, ever be around a car. Heh.

I got hit in the chest by a bird once. Couldn't duck, nowhere to swerve, just had to take it. It left a baseball-sized bruise with a little hole in the middle, which I guess was its beak. I was wearing my leather, but it was a warm day, so I had the zipper down about halfway. Naturally, that's where it hit. Ouch.

Anybody ever get hit with a hard cigarette pack? Ouch, again. It went down the front of my jacket, so I retrieved it. At the next stoplight, I pulled up next to the guy, and said "here, you dropped this." He was so shocked, he just stared, and put it on his passenger seat... I hope he learned something...

This is a good post. I DO NOT personally smoke pot, but have freinds that DO. I was following some of these freinds in a 78' caddy, sunroof, and they decided to flick the leftovers of a joint out the top. heh, it was hot, i was doin 45mph, and had my visor open. You got it, RIGHT into my helmet. I freaked, and knew to maintain control, although I could feel it lodged between the helmet and my bandanna. I pulled over, and they saw and did the same. I jumped off the bike jumping around trying to get the helmet off smacking my head like larry the retard. They had no clue what was wrong with me till they saw SMOKE coming from the helmet. eventually got it off and was PISSED. The moral of the this story? pot and bikes dont mix, even if your not the one smoking it! :lol: -Colt
