At Mt. Tremblant this year, I had a bird fly out across the track, right
in front of the car. I was doing about 120 mph at the time. The bird
rode the air up and over the car, right over my head. Scary thought,
because on impact, a full face helmet would have saved my face, but I
doubt anything would save my neck. Good thing I sit loooooow!
Totalled both a deer and a Hertz Thunderbird once too.

All generalizations, with the possible exception of this one, are false!
