Video: Goose takes out a motorcycle at Phillip Island

Oct 31, 2018

Phillip Island is a circuit professional racers love and fear.

Its high-speed, flowing corners make for great racing. They also make for scary, possibly career-ending crashes when it all goes wrong.

Then there are the fickle, sometimes frigid winds off the ocean. And the seagulls. Every couple of years, some seagull that for some strange reason thinks it's a good idea to hang out in the middle of a raging pack of unmuffled race bikes will lose his life in a collision with a World Superbike or a MotoGP prototype.

Even worse luck befell this track day rider at Phillip Island. A goose. He didn't even hit the goose. Another rider did. But he still paid the price in broken parts and shattered fairings.

Clearly, nothing in this video was good for the goose or the gander.
