Objects D'Roadway?

[Robert]

On the ever vigilant look ahead, scanning the road, I am constantly looking for things NOT to hit while riding. In my history of driving and riding I have been hit by more things than actually having a classic "accident." (knock-wood) The other day a rouge tire tread was kicked up by the car ahead of me and I saw it fly up, I scooted over a few inches and instead of hitting the front of my bike, it bounced off my shin, just below my knee. Ouch! Luckily nothing has ever knocked me off. On ne of our rides the club encountered my first ladder. Rubber tire strips (roadsnakes), ladders, rocks, bees, brakepads, couch cushions, deer, skunks, and pallets are all on my list.

So, What strange object have you been hit by or avoided?

Robert.

I've run over a ladder with m DRZ, busted a car mirror on a lazy-boy that was lane-splitting, and in a previous life I ran over a sleeper sofa in an 18-wheeler.
