I bet you looked like randy mamola doing his best to try and fall off his bike!......
It made me laugh though eading your story. Sorry
Also remined me o when someone who was racing eurocup hit a pidgeon on the y to west london. Can't remember what car they were in, but they hit it at about mach3 and it squeezed it through the gap betwee the bonnet and the front wing. Needless to say, it wasn't a pretty sight, and some of it had cooked on the hot engine!!
Niiiiice.
