I've had the same experience in my old 'tique; a huge possum comes out in the middle of the road. This was on the way back from the gym, and there was a small gang of bikers behind me (choppers, not the exercising-kind). I saw it, had plenty of time to react, even travelled a good 10 feet or so, but I decided just to run over it. It felt like running over a construction cone and I was worried it cracked my front bumper. I was more worried it was a dog though.

I hope the Bikers missed it. I think one of them saw me though, and thought I was pretty cool because they chopper'ed on by and gave me a thumb's up. In conclusion, if you think you can clear it you should probably train yourself to run over it.

May fortune favor..
