XTX just misses a Pheasant
 

As the title suggests I was out for a spin and this little nugget jumped out in front of me https://youtu.be/z1xNGayPcL0 lol

Haha that's brilliant I came across two pheasants in the road near me, stupid things just carried on walking a long, completely ignored me.

I've also had a bird fly out of a bush into my leg, think I killed it as I saw it tumbling down the road in my mirror.

That little fudger couldn't fly fast enough lol

That was close.....as I rode from Ballydehob over to Bantry Bay, at the exact moment I decided to flip up my visor a bird of some description flew full tilt into my face!!, giving me a very bloody nose...painful. Steve

When I had the Wee xt125x I was heading to work a little blue tit flew infront of the bike but never came out the over side so I stopped the bike and low and behold he was bundled up inside one of the air direction fins lol poor thing had the look of what the hell just happened lol

Wierdest thing, I watched this video yesterday then on my way to work BAM, hit a bloody pheasant at 70mph which wrecked my headlight and ripped off my indicator. :sad7:

Worst thing is that apparently I cannot replace just the broken clear plastic but have to buy a whole new headlight which retails for around �150.....

Blooming heck!.. Did you come off?..could have been worse!..

Glad you're OK.

There's a headlight on ebay at the moment for �45 + �12 P&P which will fit your bike:

Thanks guys luckily I didn't it just wobbled me a bit. My mate actually cut a deer in half at 70mph with his XT and he didnt come off either! Bent his forks a fair bit and covered him in blood and guts but he was able to ride home. Since then we called his bike the deer hunter lol!

Thanks for the link Pleiades have found a new one for �72 in Italy so think I will go for that. Still sorely disappointed that I cannot just buy the lens though!
