Just a day riding the twisties and my mate got an unlucky surprise by a kangaroo. It was too late for him to react, and all he could do is to go straight. That ended up as a head on collision with the 40~kg kangaroo hopping across the road.
My friend survives with just a minor; 10 minute ache to his manhood. However, the front end of the bike was severely damaged; headlights, fairings and gauge-cluster were shattered into pieces, forks were twisted, radiator leaking. And not to mention, fur everywhere!
The kangaroo died instantly.
I was on a motorcycle just behind the camera. Bike chasing was a CBR1000RR, and the bike which hit the kangaroo was a GSXR-1000. We were riding within the speed limit. Camera mounted on bike was a GoPro HD Hero 2 at 1080p 30fps setting.

You were lucky it was a young roo, hitting an adult roo would have been a different outcome. They can total a car.
He did a damn good job keeping it upright.
Good job keeping that one upright mate!
Quick way to get a naked bike.
I wish that was pieces of the roo, and not the bike...
Mama kangaroo: always look when you cross the street
Her child: pfffffffft yolo
Just bought a 14 HD, so I'm careful to watch out for three things:
#1. Cash Cows.
#2. Kangaroos & Cattle.
#3. WOMEN DRIVERS aka WMD.
Well done staying upright, that was a good solid hit.
Oh and your new nickname would just have to Knackers! would'nt it? ;-)
I will Never.....Ever....Complain about hitting Jack Rabbits again.
Yikes. Glad he's okay and that the roo didn't suffer.
Love how he said "f...ckn roo". Real Aussie bloke talk. F...ckn love it!
Apparently Kangaroos are not any smarter than deer...
BTW, I see the impact has taken a toll on the groin.
(Outch!)
thats so lucky he didnt crash
Serious bummer for the rider and the kangaroo.
Poor kangaroo...
Hey man, would you mind if i use this video for my next (Animals vs Bikers \ Compilation)? I will give you full credit in my description and comments section!
I doubt it was even 80ks actually, i think it is more likely that you stay on as long as you are upright, dont roll over the roo and if your bike is heavier. My mate in this video, did have a little fishtail going on if you see closely.
he did well to stay upright
Given this.....I'm still amazed how many people have spot light on there vehicles....it's not the roo half a mile down the road your gonna hit......it's the one that head butts your door handles that hurts.
Man glad you okay
Whoever who hitted the kangaroo, has no heart.
At the beginning I flipped out and was like "fuck! their driving on the left!" and then I realized that there is plenty of kangaroos in America.
He done well not to have come off the bike.
I was surprised how stable the bike was at that time, he was lucky btw.
Only in Australia
Lol that beauty of Aussies
Well he won't be in Kangaroo Jack 2
it's head legit goes flying
I'd like to know if that "Dipstick" of the motorcycle driver assisted the kangaroo.
look as if kangaroo is a ginger biscuit....
Do y'all hit kangaroos like we hit deer?
Oh yeah, young kangaroo smacked into my car taking the power steering with it
+C-Krak Yep. Highway's are littered with dead Kangaroo's in country areas.
Very well camouflaged and can jump on average about 25 feet at a time so they can come out of nowhere.
In short bursts they can hit 44mph, but average speed is about 25mph which they can maintain for roughly a mile.
Very difficult to avoid if they cross your path.
Thats why a lot of our 4x4's and even sedans have Bullbars or Roobars on the front of them.
Good job staying on the bike. And at the end that roos right leg is broken as!
Hey man may I include this in a compilation? It'll be credited and linked back to your channel
Skippy wouldn't be too impressed lol. Lucky it wasnt a big one, would probably kick box you after the event
WOW!, is this an average size Roo? would those sonic whistles help on these roads? And finally what Road & part of Aussieland were you in? Cheers.
it takes skill and wisdom to make the decision to hit something like that head-on rather than tard out and lose it! Props! RIDE HARD BAKE FAST!
Fixing the bike is a small thing..losing your life or not walking away from that is the bigger picture that you're lucky didnt happen.
meow.......can you eat roo's? .......they gotta be tougher than chicken
Yes, it's not really tough meat, just very lean, hence easy to overcook and make tough, beyond that it's very nice meat.
Aye, Roo's are marsupials right? sorta like a huge possum. They might freeze only for a few seconds, but hard to say if they hear these sonic whistles over a given period of time, as to the outcome for sure. Are they like deer who graze over a wide area? Or do they have smaller ranges of terriority?
most people put 2 on, they normaly put up signs in rural areas but not on every road.
Poor Roo, But kudos for keeping the bike on the grey stuff. Many would have binned it after that sort of impact. Glad the rider was ok (apart from some sore nuts).
we call them shooroos here in australia, little cone shaped device that allows air through causing high pitched whistle. and yeah that was small to medium kangaroo lucky for the bike rider
another 04 gsxr1000 surviving animal collision to ride another day!
i think it's just me, but if u look very closely you can see the kangaroo get decapitated on impact
It was a smaller than normal roo i suppose. Ive never heard of sonic whistles. And i will mention the place in due time, just not now, you'd probably know why.
Just did quick research on kangaroos, and apparently they respond most to 3-8kHz, which is within the human range, but they can also respond to frequencies, ie 64kHz, which is much higher than the 20kHz human ear limit. I reckon it would probably get their attention, just not too sure if it would stop them from crossing the street anyway, haha :)
Dipstick? The roo was dead as disco, and trying not to feint from shock would be my first priority, not checking the welfare of the pest that almost killed me.
Guy didn't even check the Roo to see if it was okay. Fair enough he was pissed about the bike but man you could have comforted the poor animal.
That roo would have cut his ass up with his claws if he was alive.
ur an idiot mate!! clearly he's in pain!!
believe me! I'm feeling really sad for the animal but to comment on something that isn't even an argument! shits me!!
didn't u see the photo at the end of the video??
can't you see that he's in a lot of pain??
or how the fuck do you know they didn't do it?
just so u know the video isn't showing us a whole day!!
its only showing us a couple of minutes.
OK Mr bleeding heart..
I was just concerned about the Roo suffering. From what I could tell they were only concerned about the bike itself.
If that was me, checking the Roo would be my first course of action.
he should just shoot that roo if that roo was still alive
Lighting the road 2miles in front won't help.......lights that illuminated the side might.
Aye AJ, sounds like Ye might need two or three per bike eh? Also, when ya hit a roo, will they put up crossing signs in that area, say 1 - 2 miles each way? Migtht save a biker or two.
These gosh darn oversized pouch bunnies....
Damn thats a nasty one............good at keeping it upright. One of my worst nightmare next to hitting an wombat.
xD Was dashing!! through your guitar video's then all of a sudden Kangaroo pops up :)
So, after viewing the clip several times, say @ fram .31 place roo signs, bothsides and again @ .38? Don't know.
I'm born and bred aussie and I've seen the exact same thing he is talking about MADE FOR ROOs. go ask about them at repco. I've actually got a set here in my house somewhere, still in an unopened packet. some people say they don't work though. And I have experienced and heard of some VERY stupid suicidal roos, even ones hitting doors or garbo trucks only doing 20km/h multiple times.
I could be wrong, but are you wearing an X-treme branded jacket? Think I've got the same jacket haha
no the kangaroo got an unlucky suprise from your mate*
Hey Matt, I hit a kangaroo head on just this week on my moto guzzi V85tt. I am thankful to escape with just some bruises on my right leg. As for my bike apart from loosing the front wheel guard and deformed headlight assembly I can’t spot anything else significant the bike feels alright. I still could ride home after that. Can I ask if your bike has any fatal damage on the front end so i can learn from your encounter. Thank you for sharing.
Hi it wasn't my bike. But the person bike was totalled. Front was completely ripped apart by the impact.
"What's that Skip?"
no, its my new pillow.
hope u checked it was dead and not just left it bleeding.
bike actually looks better that way
Take that, Skippy
Sonic whistle? As opposed to what other sort of whistle?
Time to make a streetfighter...
I am no kangaroo expert, so i have no clue as to any of your questions. Though it'd be awesome if someone actually did a study on this here in ozzy.
It is if you cook it medium-rare/rare.
HAHAHA So glad you alright brother!! but soon as you grabbed you're nuts I was pissing myself laughing hahahahahaha
Kangaroo jack don't have nothing on that...
Why stop ?
darkdemyx1, That is clearly an Australian accent NOT American.
'Roos in the U.S.? only in ZOOS. They're native ONLY to Australia. It was a small eastern grey kangaroo. By the size, probably only a year or two old, A Wallaby is a more solid build, with shorter limbs so def a 'roo.
Just to confirm, I think he was kidding, he said he initially freaked out because they were driving on the left, and then essentially says he realised that there are no 'roos in America and that because of this he realised the video wasn't shot in America and that driving on the left was probably normal there, just a shame there is no way to convey sarcasm whilst typing!
Yeah if it had been older I'm assuming the outcome of the crash would have been very different?
Hi man can I use your video in one of my compilations? (motorcycles cras)I'll credit you in the description and add a link to your video. Thanks :)
Yeah sure, go ahead.
ew street fighter gsx.
did the other guy stop for the meat?
not the bikers as he clearly hurt his
I feel sorry for both parties
"Kangaroad."
Good bit of riding to stay up. Nice save. Sorry about the balls lol
Are you okay
Did not even bother to help the roo all about his bike but it was a cool bike
Unlucky, glad your allright
Hope u made sure roo was ok
Skippy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOO
Kangaroo Australian for deer
Maybe that kangaroo just cheated by his/her gf/bf.
so he/she decided to commit suicide.
Feel sorry for you and kangaroo anyway...
Aye, MAN! 3 roos, dam the luck, You have a magnet Mate. Wonder if an AIRHORN like on the BigRigs would scare the shyt outofem?
Thats not a roo... Our roos would have totaled the bike and hopped away.
Can't belive he didn't go down
Same thing happened to my Boss that sacked me, only he was killed
For sure, would love to see some test runs to see the results, Nea. Have U ever had an eagle or hawk SWOOP! down @ yur helmet, while riding?
I've heard of a HYPERSONIC device, Super magnified? Used by truckers/LawEnforcemnt.
Don't worry, know hes got a street fighter :P
Joeys have the tender meat.
poor little fella :/
holy fuck its body parts went EVERYWHERE!!! :O
+Haglee LPS That was the plastics off the front of the bike. The roo looked complete (although most likely dead)
Fuck roo is worst dumdum stupid on the road. I hit roo once with my van lucky it has bullbar but had to replace...
Beautiful road where it is ?
Awesome footage 😁
Intro says gsxr-1000 but bike say gsxr-650.... hmm
Kyle Smith May wanna get your eyes checked mate. Nowhere on the bike does it say 650.
Kyle Smith look under pillion seat, 1000 sticker on red, against black, 99.9% unmissable, was 100 till you turned up
Fuckin kangaroos always wait until the worse possible time
i earn 4500 whenever i want by selling a motorbike in ireland i dont own, im a backpacker in australia that ran out of funds
Look its jack
So is it ok? I'm sure your just knocked it out
No dude, it's dead as a doornail.
or.... was that his bike....? :T
So I take it Roo's there are just as bad as the deer here in the states. I like seeing videos like these, Just shows people you can survive an accident like these.
What the fuck for? Gold?
