The only animal I ever hit was an already dead fawn that was on my property. I wasn't going fast but it startled me none-the less. poor deer

i hit a dog running around 45 MPH on my 350X. i did not crash but the dog hit my leg and almost drug me off the bike. it took some doing to keep it on all 3 wheels while my foot was dragging on the road and trying to keep my foot from going under the tire. i had a friend hit a deer on his 400EX at full speed. it killed the deer and knocked him off the bike. the bike rolled to a stop unhurt other than the light and a couple finder brackets, he had real bad road rash for a long time.

I've run over two dogs with my trikes. Both were my own. They didn't particularly like it, but those balloon tires kept them from having serious injuries. :lol:

Sometimes we chase deer in the field, but I've wondered if one of these days I might hit one. That might hurt!

LMAO, ex girlfriend's mom.

I ran over a few rabbits, a cat once, and almost ran down a deer.

I hit and ran over a really big tree stump... I flew off the trike, but the trike went over it... Just ask Itrike or Gag_Halfront ...

The biggest actual animal was a small mountain lion, blasting through some old trails on my SX and it was laying down, hit it softly and it took off fast

I've hit many racoons, possums, and rabbits on my wheelers. I nearly hit a deer one night on the 200x, a skunk and a horse on another occasion. The horse was the neighbors, and it got out of the fence, and walked right in front of me from the other side of a barn, had to stomp on the brakes fast!! Night time riding is the best to see animals.

Never hit an animal other than running over road kill........But i have however hit a brand new chevy minivan a couple years back. Left a nice gouge right down the side of the sliding door. Also while riding a wheelie i ran dead smack into the back of an old ford truck. That one hurt..../

almost hit a cow moose this year, that would have ben a good story if I lived to tell it. Hit the same 3 dogs on a daily basis, they must think im on a dirtbike and run at me straight for the engine, not realizing the tire that is about to crush them from the side :lol:

makes me sad (cause I am a hunter) to hear that people chase big game down with atvs, but the biggest animal I have ever hit was a rabbit, and it was not intentional. but paddles really do tear em up pretty good

Several groundhogs @ my Fathers farm, my old 200X used to spit them out like chicklets! I'll aim for the grounhogs they reak havoc on the tractors!Always leary of the deer popping out of the woods, no one is allowed to hunt on his property so the deer get very "comfy" in their sanctuary, now it's great to take my kids around to show them the deer, everything from small fawn to OLD Buck (real old).

only thing i ran over was my dads old german shepherd. Freakin dog would try and chow on your front tire, and would not let you buy, just keep kris crossing in front of you trying to nip that tire! little blurp of the throttle, and i wheelied the front right over him, but rolled the back left right over him. he popped up, and limped away. he was ok except the pad on his one paw wasw tore up pretty good! Other than that, I've had some surprises with deer snowmobiling through feilds at night. Never hit one though. Its fun when you jump a whole herd of deer in a big feild on a sled, they go scurrying every which way.:lol:

Quite a few mice especially at night, almost my dog (a lot) she has almost endo'ed me a few times.
Kinda off topic but my brother in law ran me over doing like 45 mph on his 350x one day at the dunes. We were both coming to camp on a pretty smooth trail both doing like 50-60. I saw camp and drifted my air cooled 250r across the trail to change directions to head to camp he didn't see camp and slammed right into me (hard) rolled my bike over he ran me over (thank goodness for the gear I had I still had 2 paddle marks on my back and a bruise on my kidney area from a foot peg) cut up my fingers pretty good on his foot peg. We both walked away. The 350x was fine (scratched up the fenders real good) the 250r I tore apart, straightened the axle got new rims and tires, new shock, new swing arm bearings, painted the tank and plastics, then blew it up the next trip out.:mad:

A 7 foot tall bull Koala bear. Dropped right out of tree hanging over the track. Thats how they normally attack. It only takes three of them to bring down an elephant.

I ran myself over with my old 200s. Im 5ft9 and about 320lbs at the time (short and wide) was sliding around a corner in our pasture when one of my tires grabbed, I made the stupid mistake of putting my foot down while trying to hang on he 200 ran me over and threw me into a barb wire fence. I know a 200 has no problem running directly over a fat guy. I miss that old trike

yes, i forgot about running myself over. i was doing a wheelie and decided to put my feet between the handlebars and jump my but up to the top and sit on the bars while doing the wheelie. i done it 3 or 4 times trying to get it down but the last time i tried it the front end started to come down and not thinking i give it more gas trying to keep it up. needles to say i didn't keep it up and now at this higher rate of speed, the tire hit the ground knocking me to the ground in front of the front tire. the bike ran me over and did not tip. the skid plate hurt when it bottomed out on me.
