I am not certain it was a sparrow. It was a bird and a small feather was
lodged in the top to the visor where it mated with the helmet when the
incident was over. I pulled over to collect myself and to let my heart rate
go down. Again it may have been a diagonal hit rather than head-on. I know
I was lucky and thank God I was smart enough to wear a helmet with a shield.
I think the macho types that ride with just sunglasses on are fools and
courting disaster.
OM content - I am going to shoot a coworker's all black and chrome Harley
next week. I will post a photo of it for all to see. Gonna use OM-4t, and
Portra 160NC.
