GoPro captures huge bird that almost hits me.

[Blanca BusaLess]

Came right out of the sky, down in front of me and then thought twice about racing a Hayabusa. Almost turned it into pillow feathers !
I still dont know how I missed it. Look carefully into the gauges in the video. You can see me tucking and puckering .
The last pic shows how close his wing actually was to me when I passed him at around 80 mph.

His Azz was in a hard right bank
Good to hear you missed him. that would have been ugly

It was only after that I really gave it thought as to how big it was and how much it would have hurt or how it could have caused me to go down.

[GsxrBots]

Didn't he realize your bird was faster than his? Maybe he was "testing" you???

It was toward the end of the ride and camera had been on for a couple hours.
I wanted to make sure it was actually still running and captured it.

GoPro needs a mic lead you can run to your helmet. I bet the words spoken in some of these videos would be priceless

I had a close call with a turkey vulture (I guess that's what it was). His wing span was all of 5 feet.

You were lucky man. I had a deer last year ran across the road. I was lucky too.

Until now I had not thought of it but yes it seems my good luck bell worked eh ?
