Blood on crash bar/side of bike...hit something?

unwind2 · 09-17-2011, 08:39 AM

Rode bike to work the other day, didn't get home until a little after 7pm, parked bike in garage. Next day noticed the blood that had started running down the right crash bar drying in blobs and blood on the right side of the bike....air cleaner or fake air cleaner (whichever it is) etc.....but no blood on my right bluejeans pants leg. Guess I hit a bird at a glancing blow???? Strange blood on the bike but not on me.

Hit a bird, ran through a patch of fresh road kill, or you bike is bleeding and will need a transfusion.

Where do I find the normal range of Hematocrit/Hemoglobin for the bike?

Beats me, the kawa General?

Probably some sort of bird Nancy. Or possibly some small animal that you hit with only the crash bar.

'Show me what you can do'. I loved that movie.

If you were riding in Canada I would suggest you just simply hit one of their National Birds... the mosquito...

We have them the size of pigeons here.

You probably hit a troll or some other middle earth being that had ventured out too close to the road.

Pray it was not a troll,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, they have friends
