A friend and I were riding the Great Ocean Road back in Summer. He was on his R1 and me on my SFV650. I was doing about 171km/h along this particular straight near the 12 Apostles. He was probably about a good 400m behind me (we weren't racing, obviously) and out of nowhere this little bird which I'm assuming was a magpie or some similar looking bird just flies in front of me, all I hear is this "FOOF" and that was it, my bike sort of took a sharp dip to the left towards the gravel, luckily I pulled out of it and managed to pull over. My mate pulls up alongside me in tears of laughter. He took his helmet off and between laughing fits he manages to say "all I saw was this little black blur and then an explosion of feathers. Funniest loving thing I've ever seen" I checked the bike to see where it had hit and couldn't find anything, no feathers lodged in the radguard, no bits of bird anywhere, I'm thinking maybe it connected with the forks or something??? still to this day it is a mystery to me, but I wish I could have seen the explosion of feathers I left behind
