Seagull headbutted by Moto GP racer – Video

From the article:
Don’t watch this video if you have a soft spot for seagulls…being hit by a rider’s helmet on a speeding racing motorcycle. The incident you see here happened during last weekend’s Australian Moto GP and no, the bird didn’t make it.

Last week was a great race because of the tire degradation but Yesterday's race was the best in a really long time!

That was a smart thing to do. Bet it would have went through his face shield, or at least dislodged it.

Or left one heck of a mess!

Reminds me of this Randy Johnson fast ball pitch

I got hit on the chest at about 70 by one sh1t and feathers everywhere and that was just the bird...

It's a good thing he ducked his head...I'd hate to see what would have happened if the bird got him right in the face shield.

In the Philippines in 1978 a bat hit me in the chest when I was going about 40mph on my Yamaha RD400. The bat didn't make it and I had a huge bruise on my chest.

Actually didn't come close to the helmet, but did manage to take a chunk out of Iannone's Ducati front fairing.
