I ran over a monkey once on the way down the hill from Cubi Point with my 1200 Harley what seems like a lifetime ago. I don't remember feeling a bump with the back tire, but it was a really small monkey.
A puppy once ran in between my front and rear tyre on my 1450 Harley up in the mountains above Canlaon. Later when we stopped I asked the guy behind me if I got it. His reply; "Doubt it survived. It will for sure not use it's rear legs again". I felt no bump either.
Gabrielle, I have no recollection of the accident. If I was to hazard a guess : maybe high sided , because the impact area was my right shoulder and right side of my bonce ,sans helmet. I spent a week in ICU with the neurosurgeon ready to " go in " lol. If the bike was traveling at speed it would have been damaged beyond repair .
That's freakin' scary. When I picture brain surgery in the Philippines it looks something like this: I'd rather take my chances and have them call a priest.
