"Oh Shit" moments...

Been away for two weeks. First day back on the bike almost got a right hook from a pigeon in the face this morning. Saw a flapping blob about 2-3 feet from my head as I was accelerating up to about 20mph but thankfully it's collision detection system kicked in and we missed each other.

Count yourself lucky. A pigeon to the head (even with helmet on) hurts a lot more than you would think.
