a dead possums head today. It went pop. I was following a slow truck, so I was fairly close and partly keeping my eye and the truck and part checking out the sun coming up over the bay with a sail boat in the scene. Next thing I know a possum appears in the road from under the truck. No time to swerve so...pop goes the weasel. I didn't get anything on me and really didn't want to look at the bike too close first thing in the morning. Glad it wasn't a skunk.

Lucky it wasn't a skunk. You'd still be de-skunking you and the bike. :lol:

It is probably good that you weren't focused on the possum because then you might have tried to avoid it on reflex; so thank goodness it was the possum and not you. Many accidents happen when people try to avoid an animal because who wants to intentionally kill something. Well, except for serial killers. It is hard for us somder's because we have such an abundance of wildlife. Squirrels are the worst...which way do I go..oh, no I want to go back that way, oh no, changed my mind...then it's over.

Nah it would have to be bigger than an dead road rat for me to dodge unless I had plenty of time. Still it is the only animal I have hit on the bike. Barely felt it, mostly heard it. I really dont want to run over anything. Especilally things that may be messy.

No kidding - the amount of offal kicked up by a bike and splattered back on you is reason enough NOT to hit anything if you can. :twitch:

Reminds me of the time I stepped onto my front porch barefoot at night any lights on and my foot connected directly with the head of a well deceased mole my kitties had left me as a present. Squish-SPLAT wasn't pleasant on the bottom of my foot nor cleaning up sprayed brains from the porch. :barf:

A dead one I can usually avoid. It's the ones mamatutu described that get me.

"Which way do I go, which way do I go....." (that's the squirrel, not me - I'm gonna run him over!)

OK, just because I'ma dick that way...did you run over a possum that WAS dead or did you make it that way? :evil:

Or, was this some sort of Zombie-possum that was, technically, dead, but needed to have his head done in to rest, truly, in peace? Or, pieces, as the case may be?

It was either dead or just sleeping on it's side just to the right of the center line.

You lamer! You hit a stationary 'thing'??? You, Mr. Biker Person, can NOT, repeat, can NOT afford that sort of lapse. Now, go wash your scoot with q tips until even the stank is clean and you just think about how little room for error we have while you're at it.
