The hard shell opossum doesn't give when you hit one. Marks all over my new SS front spoiler. I think it raised the whole thing up as it went under.
Armadillos suck

Somebody needs to tell them to stay off the road! -

I've managed to avoid the live ones, so far. I have hit a dead one with one of my wheels and it felt like hitting a large rock! Last Saturday night, I top a hill and someone had hit something in the oncoming lane and parts of it were in my lane. On my return trip, I realized it was a (presumably wild) hog, probably around 150+ lbs. Just glad I didn't hit one of them.
Back around 2010 or 2011, I was on a night ride on my SV650 from Gatlinburg, TN over to the Dragon and was coming down the Foothills Parkway toward Chilhowee and 29 when a bear cub rolls out of the bushes and down the embankment towards the road. I managed to avoid it and don't think Mom would have been very forgiving if I had hit it. It was a little unnerving. -

Seriously, glad all turned out well!

The problem with armadillos is when they get to drinking too much & then pass out in the middle of the road...

We have so many armadillos that our annual small town festival is named, The World Famous Armadillo Festival. It includes armadillo races and a cash prize weigh in for the heaviest one caught. I know, pic or it didn't happen:

We are so thankful you don't golf...
