That would suck. I have heard of people hitting birds and it almost knocked them of their bike.

The bird didn't even hit him. Why'd he crash???

Wow, overreact much? Shoulda just rode through the thing. Bird probably weighs 3 lbs.
I think the article says he slammed on his brakes and the road was wet.

The guy I knew pulled over afterwards, caught his breath and rode home. He was on a cruise going 65 on the highway. He said he didn't ride for a few days afterwards and was scared to get on the highway.

While riding along at about 120kph, I hit a small bird so hard it actually knocked my right foot off the peg. That wasn't so bad, but my foot went completely numb and I couldn't feel the foot peg at all!
I had to pull over to the shoulder with my right knee crooked, and just sit on the bike for several minutes and wait for the feeling to come back into my foot.

Not much must happen there for them to post about a motorcyclist crash where nothing tragic happened.
