Bikers attacked … by a Turkey

Troy Croser has been hit by so many birds while racing we can’t even begin to count them.
Noriyuki Haga was hit by a pigeon in race 2 in Monza that eventually caused him to crash.
We’ve seen cobras slithering across the the Shah Alam and Sepang circuits, but this is the first time I’ve ever heard of a turkey attacking motorcyclists.

Freddy, as the turkey was known was a favourite sight in Easton, but the fowl picked up the bad habit of trying to attack bikers and his penchant for doing it increased in these last months, so the authorities had to put him down.
