Another reason to wear a helmet while riding...

MADRID (AP) — A motorcyclist brought traffic to a standstill on one of Madrid's busiest highways after he pulled over to look for his false teeth, which flew out of his mouth when he sneezed, according to local media reports.

Two municipal police officers approached the motorcyclist Saturday and ordered him to resume his journey for his own safety and that of other drivers on the capital's M-30 highway, Europa Press reported. It wasn't known if the man found his dentures.

City police weren't immediately available to confirm the report and provide more details.

I had a bird clobber me on the side of the helmet a couple of years ago.  Broke the helmet latching mechanism on that side...  Glad I was wearing it.  Can't tell you how many rocks and such have hit the visor (stock 08 windscreen).

Dunno if the bird had false teeth or not.  Wasn't much left but feathers that I could find.
