[QUOTE="Redfish Hunter, post: 1276467, member: 28773"] No. In fact, I do not get to spend a lot of time riding period. In the time I have owned the 2015 Liquid Graphite ES I have suffered bird strikes in Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Arkansas, Utah and Colorado. I have had many more near misses. I do not recall but two or three bird strikes in all my driving and riding years prior to this. My Dad sees most of these while he is riding behind me and at first it was kind of a joke. It has happened so often now that we no longer find it funny. Pop swears it is because of the color and I have no counter argument. Pop has called my '15 ES "Stealthy" since he first saw it. Fred W calls it "AssFault Gray". At any rate, I am certain that the dark gray color contributes to the high ratio of bird strikes. Well, that and the fact that I am the one riding it. If it is something strange and bad that could only happen to one in a million... It will happen to me. [/QUOTE]
