Last night I felt something like a pro hitting my bike in the front with a baseball bat. I was traveling at 60 mph. The madstad windshield and fly screen shows no damage. My full coverage helmet had minimal debris from the hit. If this owl had hit me in the face anything could have happened. I will be riding with my face shield down at all times for a while. It was the first ride with my advmonster 60's installed. They apparently attract owls.

You mean it was covered in owl shit and guts! That can be so nasty!

Glad to hear it did not take you out. A smack in the face by a two pound bird could change your day for sure.
